Tell them to tell Bush to send over the twins. They can bunk with me.
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/06/16/iraq_debate/index_np.html

Resolved: America great! Bin Laden evil! Go Bush!

Not even the inventor of "freedom fries" could stand
to be present at the GOP-controlled Congress' absurd
"debate" over Iraq.

By Michael Scherer

Rep. Walter Jones, the North Carolina Republican who invented
the phrase "Freedom Fries," invited me into his
Capitol Hill office Thursday morning, a cluttered space
festooned from floor to ceiling with military memorabilia,
Pentagon plaques and photographs of soldiers. Then he pulled
out an e-mail he had recently received from an Army captain
who served in Iraq. 

The email quoted another American soldier serving in Iraq, a
voice that Jones wanted people to hear. "Tell all those
assholes in D.C. to get us the f--- out of here. This is
bullshit," Jones said, reading from the email, but
choosing not to pronounce the f-word in full. "Either
that or tell them to tell Bush to send over the twins. They
can bunk with me. That would be useful." 

Jones is not a natural dove. He sits on the Armed Services
committee and his district includes Camp Lejeune, the home
base of nearly 47,000 sailors and marines. But Jones is one of
a handful of Republican congressmen to break ranks with
President Bush and the GOP leadership over Iraq. In recent
months, he has been campaigning for a "full and
honest" debate on the Iraq war. 

Of course, none of that has happened.

3. I couldn't do it
The daughter on the left in that pic her face looks too much like her dad's. I'd get nauseated just looking at it.

5. They both look like Barbara if you ask me...
Now there's a lust crushing thought
for any male mindless enough to
consider them desirable...
Heh-heh.

7. One looks like Barbara + George, the other one Barbara + Pickles
In addition, as my mom used to say, "Pretty Is as Pretty Does." So they don't have much going for them at all in my book.

11. I kept expecting Murtha to say this when he was on Keith's show today
Wouldn't that have been awesome!!

He mentioned that most WHITE HOUSE mucky-mucks served in the military, I think Murtha should mention that the President, Vice President's kids should volunteer!
