(7,234 posts)I don't give a SHIT about her fooling around in the white house. Her daddy is responsible for the deaths of thousands of young Americans and nearly a million Iraqis over LIES!
That is what's important here.

(32,139 posts)Corporatists want to create in Americans rabid loyalty to party, as disconnected from actual policies as possible.
They want the Two Minutes Hate reflex in us to be so strong that mere *mention* of a Republican or a Republican's family member will elicit a spitting, vitrioloic response of hatred and rage.
That's why we see a steady stream of Two Minutes Hate from corporate posters on discussion boards like this. It's deliberate, and it's orchestrated. If someone who molests a child in Oklahoma happens to be a Republican, you can be sure we will hear about it here....and if that person turns out to have been a Democrat, you know it will lead at Free Republic.
The goal is for ANYTHING associated with *their team* to be doubleplusbad, and ANYTHING associated with *our team* to be doubleplusgood, even when the Republicans and Democrats are alternately pushing exactly the same corporate agenda of war, police state, and economic policies when they are in office.
By attaching loyalty to party rather than principle, they can continue the same corporate agenda no matter which party is elected, and count on half of the country always to rally around it and prevent real change.

(21,718 posts)The Obama kids don't deserve some of the crap that has been spewed in the last week or so, Chelsea Clinton didn't deserve the crap that was spewed about her. The Bush twins were brats, but they deserve the same consideration.Criticize away on W, but that has nothing to do with the kids

(I mean the real White House, and not that notorious brothel in Texas or wherever...)

(21,925 posts)and fucked her head off if that made her happy. I've never had a bad thing to say about the Bush twins and I found them refreshingly real. It was her daddy who was the sociopathic warmonger, liar, and ignorant chimp for whom I had nothing but ill will.

Their old man was a lying, homicidal, fuckwit. They were teenage girls, and I give them a pass.

(12,754 posts)Not exactly, but I did pick up one of the White House butlers.
I was at a cocktail party in the East Room with a business group. One of the butlers that was circulating around the room was hot, and I struck up a conversation with him. It became apparent that he was gay, and we talked a little bit. A short time later, I saw him coming in my direction, holding a little silver service tray about shoulder height. He came over to me and lowered the tray. On it was a folded card with his name and phone number. We had a good time, but not in the White House.

(14,275 posts)Her sex life is none of my concern.
Frankly, it bothers me whenever any politician's children are attacked in the court of public opinion. It's hard enough to get through the teen years without being raked over the coals due to an accident of birth.
Let's cut Jenna Bush Hager some slack and respect that her private life is just that - private.
