On Ed Shultz a caller talked...

[AValdoux]

... being in a bar one of the Bush Twins was in. He mentioned the secret service and the security there. They were given free beer to keep them from the section the twin was in.

How much are we spending to protect the Bush twins when they go bar hoping? Can you imagine if Chelsea Clinton spent as much time as these girls do in bars? If my tax dollars are going toward this I would like to know just how much of the secret service's time is spent in a bar. This would be a good time to bring this out what with his daughters being of age to serve in the military.

1. Imagine that.

Someone named Bush drinking when they could be in the military.

2. good one!

6. Someday they'll be considered war heroes while real

heroes like Paul Hackett will continue to be slimed and their service denigrated for their service. This is considered normal in Bushworld.

3. if Chelsea Clinton had been in the bars

during the Clinton years (and if she had been old enough), she would have been called an alcoholic, a slut, someone with no morals or family values. I don't even want to think about what the right would have done to her.

8. And it would be disgusting and wrong....

...why do "we" think its okay to do it?

Because I have seen every nasty slur you just lied right here on DU.

[Qanisqineq]

12. I never said I condone calling the Bush twins names

No where in my post did I say I think it is okay. I don't do it. I guess I don't understand what you mean by "every nasty slur you just lied" -- huh? How is me believing that she would have been called those names necessarily a lie?

[rinsd]

15. Typo...sorry about that...

"lie" actually should have been "listed".

I believe Chelsea would and has been called such stupid names.

[rinsd]

4. Who cares?

Seriously, out of all the things the gov't spends its money on Secret Service details for members of the first family is very low on the list of outrages.

This was stupid when freepers freaked out about the extension of Chelsea's security detail at the end of Clinton's term.

Geez you would think we're all freakin prudes the way people bitch about twenty-somethings going out drinking.

7. When they preach about family values and spend our money getting

drunk, I care.

[rinsd]

9. When have the Bush twins talked about family values?

Other than those stupid jokes at the RNC?

I really don't give a shit what they do. If they go to bars, SS goes with them. Same deal as with other children of presidents.

[Miss Chybil]

14. I give a shit if my money is being sent to Iraq to blow people up

and I give a shit if my money is being used to protect two poor, little, rich kids while they tie one on "here" as other people's sons and daughters are being killed "over there." The children of presidents who send other people's children off to die, should be held to a higher standard.

[rinsd]

16. The sins of the father should not be visited upon the son...

"The children of presidents who send other people's children off to die, should be held to a higher standard."

The girls aren't reponsible for their father's actions. All presidents send people to die just not recently in the numbers that Bush has.

Would I have respect for the Bush daughters if they were to enlist?

Maybe, but again it just doesn't matter to me what they do as they have very little influence on policy.

Am I more concerned with what their father does than what they do?

Definitely.

[Miss Chybil]

5. I think that's a really good question. I'd like to know the answer to

that, too.

[napi21]

10. I don't really care about $$ spent on SS to guard the 1st family.

As much as I detest Shrub, I'm glad to hear the girls seem to be able to have a reasonably life.

Remember, the SS detail is going to be guarding them no matter what they do, or where they go, so they're just being paid for their time on the job.

11. I doubt they can drink on duty

In fact, I am sure they can't.

13. Like father, like daughters!

Apparently they learned from the master phony! We all know what the twins are - tramps who like their booze, sounds familiar doesn't it?
