Words can't begin to describe the performance by those two vapid, semi-retarded little twits last night. They singlehandedly take the cake as the biggest reason Bush is not fit for office. Give me the horsey Kerry girls over these two any day of the week. I wonder how many packs a day that little flatassed sweatsuit wearing Jenna smokes?

As usual Rhett, you are an eye opener in my otherwise dull morning.

I didn't see it but am looking for an archived stream on-line. Anyone know where I can watch it?
Funny how over 50% of the GOP homepage is dedicated to bashing Kerry - he gets about 10 times more screen coverage than their own freaking candidate. The DNC site barely mentions Bush at all.

a tad past harsh. it was a badly written awards show-type presentation by two seemingly well adjusted down home girls from crawford/midland, tx. let's keep the retards out of this.

??We spent the last four years trying to stay out of the spotlight,? Jenna Bush said to laughter from the delegates. ??Sometimes we did a little better job than others.?

Gee I'm sorry but from what I saw I couldn't tell. Was their speech supposed to be a rallying cry to young republicans, a sorority speech, or another speech on how tough growing up fabulously rich and empowered is. Just asking.
Lost on me
but I was already there

the scary thing is that it was scripted. Presumably by the White House speechwriters, whom presumably are supposed to be very good at their craft.
I have to admit the dark haired one is kinda cute... the blonde has the same beady eyes as her dad.

Funny thing is, If one of these boardies little indie lead singers said this at a concert, they would be laughing and cheering at the top of their lungs of how cool they were.

Sister Act
Wednesday, Sep 01, 2004; 8:40 AM
NEW YORK--I don't want to be unfair to Jenna and Barbara. Growing up in a fishbowl isn't easy.
But to paraphrase what Jay Leno said to Hugh Grant after his little escapade with a street hooker: What the hell were they thinking?
And what was the person who vetted their speech thinking?
Sex jokes about former first lady Barbara Bush?
I've been covering conventions a long time, and this might have been the weirdest moment since George McGovern gave his acceptance speech at 3 a.m.
I mean, it looked like a video you would make in your basement, and then show only to your closest friends. To judge by the reaction of the scribes around me, already pumped up by Arnold, it was cringe-inducing. Maybe they were trying to appeal to the Paris Hilton crowd.
Fortunately, their mom gave a nice speech to round out the evening.
I thought I must have been living on a different planet when Fox's Chris Wallace started gushing over how the young women had been funny, sexy, intelligent and so on. The reviews were not so kind on the other channels, or in the morning papers.
Take the Los Angeles Times: "The Bush daughters, fresh from their booing this week at the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, came onstage at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night and introduced a new strategy in the war on terrorism: giggling. . . .
"The strategy Tuesday, apparently, was to have sisters Jenna and Barbara humanize and soften the grim-faced Politburo image that dogs the Bush-Cheney campaign, which hasn't made much of an effort to court those young Americans who call it a good day if they've remembered to TiVo 'The Simple Life.' So here they were, girlie and giggly and glammed-up (Jenna in some kind of Juicy couture-looking track suit top over white pants, Barbara in a black cocktail dress).
"They told slightly off-color jokes, apparently to drive home the point that, supporting a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage aside, their parents weren't totally freaked out about S-E-X. Her grandmother, Jenna said, 'thinks "Sex in the City" is something married people do but never talk about,' getting the show's name wrong. Barbara said, 'Jenna and I are really not very political.' She's the one who graduated from Yale.
"The Republicans, you were reminded, are really good at chest-thumping and flag-hugging, but they ought to stay away from showcasing their privileged, Prada-wearing first daughters until the campaign is over. After the speeches were over, even CNN's talking heads seemed to be struggling to make sense of the sisters' sister act. Judy Woodruff stammered, 'I'm not sure what that was about,' while an incensed Jeff Greenfield called the appearance a 'frankly discordant moment.'"
The New York Post, which likes the Republican convention better than it liked the Democrats'--"CONAN THE AMERICAN" is today's banner headline--finds no socially redeeming value in the daughters' shtick:
"The Bush twins made their national television debut last night -- with a string of weak one-liners that drew cringes from the crowd and at one point brought a soft rebuke from their grandparents.
"The twins, Barbara and Jenna Bush, had the job of introducing President Bush, who in turn introduced First Lady Laura Bush.
"For much of their brief time on stage, the twins seemed to amuse themselves more than the crowd."

Millions of stupid people, making themselves unhealthy and unattractive at such a premature age.

yeah quoting the catch phrase from a top selling record is a real stretch... they should have been using a shins song to prove how "hip" young repubs are :D
and damn that kerry daughter for going and getting a fulbright scholarship to study medicine in london. shouldn't she be married and reading to her children before they go to bed. :roll:

Maybe I'm just a little slow this morning, but I couldn't find a link to the bush twins on c-span. Can anyone help a brother out? I want to have my fun and laugh at them along with everyone else.

It's like the Red Sox and the Yankees. In this case, I'm hoping that means the Reps will perform the same way the Red Sox did in last year's series. ;)

Kerry doesn't have to do it himself. Of the $117,000,000 raised by the "527" special interest groups this election cycle, 88% of the money has gone to pro-Democrat groups such as Moveon.org, which obviates the need for the DNC to run its own negative ads.

It's inconceivable to me how anyone can be so dumb as to support Bush. It must be some kind of mental deficiency.
-
I don't know if being Republican could be classified as a "mental deficiency," but holding the belief that people who don't share your views are mentally deficient is pretty much textbook pathological narcissism.

He mentioned "supporting Bush", not the Republican Party. I can see the Republican Party having people I wouldn't object to. But the Bush-Cheney ticket rubs me the wrong way...it does at times seem surprising how thinking people don't see through him...
