14. These aren't your parent's Democrats....
It makes me sad when I think about Kerry's kids (inc. stepkids), and the Edwards' eldest, their daughter. Such dignified kids, such intelligent and well-educated kids, who knew how to interact with anyone respectfully. They could have been representing us, and I would have been so proud - as opposed to the Party Girls.

Im sure Ill get banned for this but what the hell.... are we honestly going off on the Bush twins for BUYING A DRESS??? Does this honestly rise to the level of despicable?????? Just because their dad is the President, and just because we dont agree with that decision doesnt mean the mans daughters are despicable and Kerry's daughters are "respectable". This is the type of shit that makes even the New York Times ask "what the fuck?"

Kerry's "Respectful and Dignified" Cans at Cannes
"


WHILE we were at war with them, as I recall. So I suppose if the Bush twins only wore swastikas, they'd be better than their great-grandfather. Of course, their great-grandaddy's money is helping them to buy those purty gowns, so who knows?

The Anti Defamation League has a different opinion... but dont let that stop you.

Prescott Bush's Alleged Nazi "Ties"

Rumors about the alleged Nazi "ties" of the late Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, have circulated widely through the Internet in recent years. These charges are untenable and politically motivated.

Despite some early financial dealings between Prescott Bush and a Nazi industrialist named Fritz Thyssen (who was arrested by the Nazi regime in 1938 and imprisoned during the war), Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathizer.
