And now, for "something completely ridiculous"

We knew Moms & Dad weren't attending, but, Jenna Bush was a NO show at graduation ceremony, just heard it on Fox, of all places, No Jenna, and, yet even more mysteriously, her name wasn't called with all the other graduates....whassupwiththat?

Like daddy like daughter?

achieve it, you _show_ for that all rewarding ceremony, IF you've work really hard that is, don't like to bash the twins (they'll have enough problems) but sure is interesting si? JUST repeated the blurb, no further details tho.

By the way,...I don't see how this qualifies as LBN.

chill.

from the night before, or was she arrested for pot?

generally there are two ceremonies - one is mass (in a stadium) - no individual names are called (far too many graduates); often there is a second by school and/or department. At the grad level that is where one often receives one's "hood".

If names were called - then it would be the smaller ceremony (if UT is like other u.s in this practice). To get the whole thing to come off smoothly - students have to indicate whether or not they are going to attend. Especially at very large universities, not everyone does. Thus the materials, names and hoopla are for those who indicated that they would attend. Her name not being called would suggest she didn't sign up for the ceremonies. Wouldn't jump to further conclusions... unless she is "taking grad classes" at UT next year... and suddenly then goes through graduation *wink, wink.*

the day off to join the Army err National Guard.

Too Funny. I just heard that on the TV and the first thing that came to mind was that she had not completed her courses required for her degree.
Maybe thats why mommy and daddy decided not to attend the girl's "graduations".
Good ol' dysfunctional bushhole family.

from the Palo Alto Weekly:

Pomp, circumstance and a wacky walk
Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton graduated from Stanford University Sunday with highest honors,

then read about how the silly traditions that go along with the mass stadium graduation... http://www.paloaltoonline.com/weekly/morgue/2001/2001_06_20.stanford20.html

Welcome to DU! :hi:

FYI, this post would probably fare better in the General Discussion forum, since Late Breaking News is reserved for news items... :)

perhaps??? also maybe thought why bother since no one cared enough from the family to attend.

snip
Fellow graduate Jaclyn Trantham of Dallas said she didn't notice Bush's absence.

"I guess it's understandable, though," Trantham said. "She probably didn't want the attention..."
