Jenna Bush doesn't show up for graduation
Most likely nursing yet another killer hangover...

Jenna Bush Skips Graduation Ceremony

Saturday, May 22, 2004

AUSTIN, Texas

President Bush wasn't the only one who skipped the pomp and circumstance of his daughter Jenna's graduation from the University of Texas on Saturday.

She didn't participate either.

Jenna Bush was not among the more than 150 English majors received their degrees during commencement ceremonies Saturday afternoon.

(snip)

Aides earlier had said President Bush and first lady Laura Bush would skip their 22-year-old twin daughters' graduations because their presence and that of White House security would be disruptive. There was no immediate word on why Jenna Bush did not participate.

(snip)

The sisters have mostly stayed out of the limelight while in college, except for a highly publicized incident in May 2001, when authorities accused the then-19-year-old sisters of having drinks at a Mexican restaurant in Austin.

Barbara pleaded no contest to underage possession of alcohol and was ordered to perform eight hours of community service and attend alcohol-awareness class.

Jenna was fined $600 for trying to use a false ID, her second alcohol-related offense. She lost her driver's license for 30 days, had to do more community service and attend an alcohol-awareness class.

4. Well,well,well..........
Looks like SHE is off to a good start in campaigning for her daddy. Maybe she didn't have enough credits to graduate? Nothing would surprise me out of THAT bunch of imbeciles. :eyes:

8. I don't know. Maybe she's working as a hooker in Miami.
Maybe she's showing up at Uncle Niel's hotel room door at midnight and offering him free blowjobs.

11. Did She Actually Graduate, or come up a few credits short?
It doesn't actually say in the article on fauxnews
(which appears next to an ad for "W" baseball hats)

9. The only reason people I know went was because their parents were there
and wanted to see them graduate. If my folks were skipping out on it to do a different uni, I doubt I'd show up either.

Man, as if it wasn't bad enough having * for a father...

12. This is Hank Williams Jr. but the principle holds
Country music singers are a really close family
but lately some of my kin folks have disowned a few otha's and me
i guess its because i kinda changed my direction
Lord, i guess i went and broke their family tradition

they get on me wanna know Hank why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
over and over everybody made my prediction
so if i get stoned I'm just carryin' on an old family tradition

I am very proud of my daddy's name
although his kinda music and mine ain't exactly the same
stop and think it over, put yourself in my position
if i get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition

Don't ask me Hank why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a Honky-Tonk, some ol' slicks tryin to give me friction
I say leave me alone I'm singin all night long it's a family tradition

Lord I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam
and they both tried to kill me in 1973
when that doctor asked me, "Son how did you get in this condition?"
I said hey sawbones I'm just carryin on an old family tradition

So don't ask me Hank why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over, Try and put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long It's just a family tradition!
