The Bush Twins Saved The World

[dave29]

Am I the only one willing to give them credit?

I think they have spared us four more years.

[democratreformed]

1. Damn it! I missed it! What did they do????

Please fill me in.

[democratreformed]

2. Oh, and I LOVE

your sig line. That's hilarious!

[dave29]

6. thx!

somehow seems so accurate

[Cha]

26. Yes, I love that sig line...Short and Sweet ..big difference!

[roguevalley]

3. every newspaper and column in America is giving them a HUGE

raspberry. they sucked. truly.

[TahitiNut]

9. Even Novak and O'Beirne gave them an 'F' ...

... then they engaged in the specious face-saving punditry of "it makes no difference" since they're not spokespersons for the Republican Party.

Then what the fuck are they doing on the podium? :wtf:

[Piperay]

18. Unfortunately

it doesn't make a difference, it would if they had been Kerry's daughters but no one will hold it against chimp. x(

[Cha]

27. It may not make a Difference to those Low Lifes..but

I think Americans can see the difference between the Kerry/Edwards girls and know it's the reflection of their respective dads.

[Avalux]

4. Yep

I watched with glee. They were horrible and everyone there knew it. Did you see Unka Dick's face?

[dave29]

5. They were terrible in their intrroductions last night

I think all of America (that happened to be watching) cringed.

Jenna and Barbara Bush, who introduced their father last night with a litany of cringe-inducing one-liners, seemed to have mistaken the Republican National Convention for their debutante ball.

Sure, the girls threw in some praise for their dad. But mostly, they congratulated themselves on their momentous decision to campaign for him. "Jenna and I are NOT very political," Barbara said, with the odd bursts of emphasis that she and Jenna employed throughout the night. "But we love our dad TOO much to stand back and watch from the sidelines." The twins then launched into an elaborate set of jokes about their "first day" at campaign HQ. Before anyone in the audience had quite grasped the premise, Barbara was announcing that she'd been denied the VP slot. "Who IS this man they call Dick Cheney?" she said. Huh?

To be fair, the twins almost certainly didn't write this dreck. And the material they were given was unusually difficult: What kind of speechwriter, assigned to come up with something for two novices to deliver on live television, writes a joke-laden address that requires the comedic timing of a late-night talk show host? The twins might have done better with a short, direct statement about their parents, something like the ones the Kerry girls (and Cate Edwards, who is 22, the same age as the twins) delivered with such poise. We'll never know, since no one wrote them one.

28. At least "Slate" said it...Kerry and Edwards girls =

"Poise"!

[AP]

7. I totally agree. Do they HATE their father??? Or are they oblivious?

What a contrast to Kerry daughters and to Edwards's daughter.

Hell, even Jack Edwards and his love for Oreos is more compelling and heart felt and good for America than what I saw come from those two last night.

[Javaman]

8. I think they are oblivious haters of bush

[AP]

19. In any event, they were a CATASTROPHIC SUCCESS, eh?

[StClone]

10. Which is Jenna and which is Barbara?

???

[Avalux]

11. Jenna is

the blonde; the one who's cursed with her grandmother's giant head. I feel bad for her on that one. I don't feel bad about her classless performance last night.
Barbara is the dark haired one, a bit prettier but not much better in the class department.

[buycitgo]

24. "cursed with her mother's giant head"

too funny!!!!!!!

think I'll send that to the wizard of whimsy, and see if he has any ideas

[TahitiNut]

12. The epitome of a distinction without a difference ...

Does this help?


Or just label this one "J&B" ...


Or this one as "BJ practice" ...

[Swamp Rat]

22. "J&B does it for Snoop Dogg"

[MercutioATC]

13. Barbara has brown hair. Jenna is the...umm..."larger-boned" one.

[StClone]

14. Thanks all

More than I needed... :-)

[Javaman]

29. They are just plain weird looking...

[Kazak]

15. You might be on to something there...

;)

[skypilot]

16. How much do you want to bet...

...that we won't be seeing them AT ALL anymore between now and Nov.2?

[burythehatchet]

17. I want to see them cut a deal with Penthouse.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

20. I want to see them cut a deal with HUSTLER.

And their pics should also feature Flynt in the sidelines, with a big grin on his face. (Clothed of course)

[burythehatchet]

21. fine...the gloves are off...

I want to see the twins in a three way with Ron Jeremy and a big bottle of viagra

[MoonRiver]

23. I give them a lot of credit in that regard!

Plus, I don't think it was bad judgemet, stupidity, whatever. They want pop out.

[Cha]

25. LOL! I was telling the director of the YMCA today

about the good news in the Florida primaries yesterday(Betty Castor, Art Anderson:D )and he asked me if I had seen any of the rnc show..I said no but I've been reading all about it on du. He said he was surfing the tube and caught the twins..and he thought it was a joke like beavis and butthead. I told him he was not alone in that assessment!

I asked him if he had seen the Kerry and Edwards girls and he said , "Yes!"..I said they were so charming, articullate, and eloquent! He said after he heard Teresa ..he thought she should be Prez!

[VolcanoJen]

30. So, Karen Hughes wrote that awful "hipster" twins speech, eh?

They're so in-touch, aren't they? The GOP wants to showcase Jenna and Barbara, and show how much they relate to America's youth, so they give the "hipster" job to 47 year old Karen Hughes. God, these people are laugh-out-loud funny, aren't they??

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54662-2004Sep1.html

By the time they were done, the laughter in the hall had faded to uncomfortable tittering. Even that stalwart conservative, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, was displeased. "I respect Laura Bush and I'm sure the twins will grow up to be lovely women," Kristol said on Fox News Channel, "but the last half-hour did not help, so far as I can tell, President Bush's campaign for reelection."

Who knows what they were thinking? Calls for comment to campaign officials, the twins' spokeswoman, the first lady's press secretary and Republican National Committee officials went unreturned Wednesday. The remarks were written by Karen Hughes, a campaign aide told the Associated Press. And they were vetted by more than a dozen staffers, another campaign official said.



She's so fly!!!

[MrBenchley]

31. Don't sell Zell short!

He delivered the sort of speech someone would usually have to wear a sheet to hear....

Ah-nuld too has done a lot: "Dot Nixon, he vas a goodt president, ja? Dun't be an economic girlyman."
