JENNA BUSH: It's great to be here. We love Arnold. Isn't he awesome?


Thanks to him, if one of us ever decides to marry a Democrat, nobody can complain, except maybe our grandmother, Barbara. And if she doesn't like it, we would definitely hear about it.


We already know she doesn't like some of our clothes, our music, or most of the TV shows we watch.


Gammie, we love you dearly, but you're just not very hip.


She thinks "Sex and the City" is something married people do, but never talk about.


We spent the last four years trying to stay out of the spotlight. Sometimes, we did a little better job than others.

:puffpiece:

even the FR are mostly embarrassed


:bounce:

If John and John had not had their childern speak at the Democratic convention do you really think that Shrub would have had his two sleeze twins speak tonight........

These girls were nowhere in 2000 unless under a KEG counts....

Once again this proves Shrub and company lack creativity just remember a couple of weeks back when Bush tagged right behind John Kerry having to do damage control......

But it's nice to have the actual educated and intelligent children of our candidates speak while Bush's daughters mumble their way threw some dumbass speech with retarded jokes. If this influences any voters it certainly won't be for Bush.

wonders what the audience was doing during this
:boring:

:kick:

. . . the speech is not as bad as I thought. I guess it was the delivery that stunk it up.

TYY

it doesn't show how bad it really was

. . . and was appalled by the delivery and quite surprised by the obvious disconnect they had with their audience. Barbara of the 'beautiful mind' looked like she was swearing under her breath. There seemed to be a lot of shifting in seats among the family members and 'bigwigs'. That's why I was surprised to see that the actual speech was not quite as bad as the twins made it sound. Neither one presented herself like a Yale grad. I wonder who's doctoring their school records. How sad that a bought and paid for Yale education was squandered away. The apples didn't fall to far from the tree in this case.

TYY

pathetic. WHY didn't the hamster make it? Actually.... I don't think I wanna' know.

:nuke:

is whether you want to be rescued or blown up.

so he couldn't save it.

I am just speechless.

No words.

They're poor, little rich girls. Nobody can expect much.

having money.

That is the lamest thing I have ever come across. I can't imagine anyone being impressed except maybe 'Gammie.'

just watched on C-Span a while ago.

Does someone have a link to the Kerry girls' speech?

In the first post of the thread..

She's the same age as the Bush girls.

Click on Republican National Convention: Day 2, Part 2.

It starts at 1:29:30 of the clip.

They have them introducing "our dad, your president..." instead of Pickles.

Change in schedule or what. HOW FAKE WAS THIS SPEECH!!

http://www.2004nycgop.org/cgi-data/speeches/files/7s0et47011snmsrcn9n7j8eub61fhz69.shtml

...in front of some bizarre softball game where all the blue team wore the number 43. This was over a satellite feed.

Shrub then introduced Pickles

. . . he was on a satellite feed, posing in front of a baseball field with 'players' in the background faking the funk like there was an actual game going. It was probably secret service guys in costumes. This presidency and particularly this convention is like watching a made for prime time movie. Totally staged with props and scripts ala 'Wag the Dog'.

TYY

:)

And I can hardly wait!

Which is too bad. Democrats should be saying more soup please to those two.

I can't believe that these girls come from a family of money and are graduates of Yale and the UT, that they have not taken speech class's. Their entire family are politico's and they have been surronnded by speech writers and yet these young women in their twenties, are so immature. God even money and the best education that money can buy hasn't helped them. It seems the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

What would you be like if that was the example set by your family?

But it doesn't capture the twin horrors of the speech, which are 1) both girls lack any sense of timing, and 2) the incredibly inane laughter from the darker haired one, which sounded like a bad imitation of Beavis and Butthead. I had to stop watching it halfway through, it was simply that bad. Someone here provided a link to the disaster on MSNBC, and I highly recommend it to those of you who might be suspecting this is DU hyperbole. I've never seen worse. I actually began feeling pity for them, and the only reason I didn't feel more pity is because I got the sense they are so stupid, they will never understand just how terribly they humiliated themselves.


All that being said, I've read stories about trial attorneys who deliberately wear shabby clothes to trials to win sympathy with jurors. Another variation on this tactic is to deliberately mis-speak at times. I don't think either one of these girls is smart enough to do this themselves, but giving them that wretched speech and that poor preparation might be part of the whole "just plain folks" thing the Bush people have been angling towards for months now. It was something like watching talent night at a junior high school, and what's more reassuring than to see other parents' kids are just as average as your own?

i bet gramma was ready to explode..god are they a couple of..i`m at a loss for words...........

Besides, since we've graduated from college, we're looking around for something to do for the next few years.

Kind of like dad.

Is this speech an attack on the Republican party or what?

The text, the delivery, the slimy hair, the smug looks, ("Aren't we just SOOOOO cuuuuuute?") --

couldn't believe it was real.

Yet, they are just like Dad. Pampered and pathetic.

s_m

funny, either!

If only that was the contest to declare a winner, *ush would be packing right now!
Also, he drank heavily until he was 40, it decidedly had an affect on the 'ol swimmers, if you know what I mean

MOle!

They didn't sound too excited about the Republican party of their family and they were talking about marrying a Democrat.

charming, intelligent, and articulate that it just blew me away!

ENLIST!!!!!!!!
