Complaint: I don't appreciate the "Jeb 2008" sticky
The one with the mugshot of his troubled daughter. Have as many stickies as possible featuring Jeb's big fat head, I'm all for it -- but please leave his daughter out of the stickies.

1. Agree.
Not very classy. If I were a member of that family I would have lots of issues to deal with.

9. I think it's hysterical...
I burst out laughing the second I saw it.

Maybe the next one should feature his wife smuggling expensive items through Customs.

5. I'm with you
I know the point is the hypocritical notion of "family values" that the repubs have tried to co-opt, but too many of us have loved ones with drug problems for that to be anything but cruel.

jmo.

10. I like it
It's an example of Bush family values.
There should be stickies for Neil Bush and the others as well.
And Marvin BUsh's maid that was run over.

12. The girl had a sane reaction to living in an insane family.
She used drugs. Can't say that I blame her. I think she should be left out of the debate, too. In every case, arguments ad hominem which attack politicians' children are particularly heinous. Remember how Chelsea was raked over the coals?

13. It's another $10 for a good cause
Tacky or not, it's free speech and the beauty of the sticky board is the diversity of stuff. I love the recent flower shots.

14. This kind of attack began with Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton.
The only real problem Chelsea had was that she was an ungainly adolescent. The behavior of the various Bush children doesn't seem to be exactly irreproachable. But I think there's plenty to attack Jeb on without bringing his children into it.

her last arrest the terror alert level was raised to Orange and it knocked the story of her arrest right off the news....

Coincidence?

click on the "RETIRE YOUNG" stickie.

27. I don't think she is getting a cent from the Democratic Party, the
District is so gerrymandered (the two biggest cities are cut out of it and attached to Districts that are across salt water from them).
The Republican incumbent has been in Congress since 1972. This is considered a "no chance" election. If you or anyone you know is in a position to lay ten bucks on her campaign, that would be great. She is looking for 50,000 ten dollar donations.

28. Daddy sure did. Uncle George raised the alert level to orange
less than two hours after her last arrest to divert attention from it or because we were in grave danger of a terrorist attack, take your pick.

30. But that's them.
If they did that to save their own political hides, there's no reason to involve her nasty mug shot. She's just another drug addict.

a shit what they depict. I didn't even bother to put any up myself.

22. I agree. The daughter is not the governor.
As far as we know she is a liberal.

Humiliating a person becuase of her family and a drug arrest is unreasonable and mean.

If she comes out like Mary Cheney, campaigning for the fools, then she's fair game.

24. the stickie thing- not appreciated
Ok, I understand it is rasing money for DU, but they should allow an option to turn it off for individual users. I don't want to see a contest which invariably comes down to who can create the "most bad taste stickie" award. There is always a race to the bottom in contests. "Ooh, how offensive is that! Well, I can do it one better, hehehehh"

25. You may not appreciate it, but I thought it was most fitting....
Edited on Wed May-17-06 06:02 PM by KzooDem
She's a Bush, so she's fair game. Moreover, the daughter is a drugged up skank precisely because she is the spawn of such ghastly ancestors. She is bright, shining beacon of what it means to be of the Bushes. If that's not reason enough, I don't know what is. The time for "Mr. Nice Guy" passed us LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG ago. The gloves are off and if that means we exploit a spawn of Jeb for a few laughs...then so be it.

29. So she should have picked what family she was born into?
Tell me how being a member of a particular family in itself warrants being humiliated.

I'm very interested because that is an immutable characteristic like being black, brown or white.

If the girl comes out campaigning for right-wing causes, then she is fair game IMO.

Until then, she should be left alone.

THEY'RE THE BUSHES.

While you may prefer to live in Pollyanna City, the fact is the damn family is one, big ugly pack of public figures. They like to tout how "moral" and Christian they are, they relish in the fact that they are of solid, privelaged, Yankee stock (despite George's fantasy that he is "Texan"), the family is responsible for more strife and disharmony in this country than one can imagine, and we expect her not to be fair game?

Besides, look what certain Resmuglicans and conservatives said about Patrick Kennedy. Sorry...I'm not turning the other cheek anymore. Fuck the Resmuglicans, and if nailing the daughter of one of the vile leaders of the cabal as a common crack head helps pull back the curtain on the perverse illusion the Bushes would like you to see...SO FUCKING WHAT.

Live in the real world and start matching the Resmuglicans at their own game.

32. Hahaha. Whatever, tough guy.
You are humiliating yourself now.

You should just go ahead and join the GOP. You want to be just like them. I don't.

How about breaking out the Purple Heart bandaids against GOP war veterans?

Disgusting. Grow up.

Just intend on matching them at their own game, that's all. Sorry I disgusted you.

26. Noel may be the only cool member of the family.
It sucks that she has a crack habit. However, I'm not offended by her mugshot. I'm offended by what it makes me think of - that any other minority caught with her charges would still be in fucking prison right now for it. She got busted sneaking a crack rock into the rehab she got instead of prison, for fuck's sake. If she was a regular Hispanic or Black, she would've barely had a trial. Mandatory minimums.
