Jenna Bush new editor-at-large at Southern Living

[TexasTowelie]

Daughter of former U.S. President George W. Bush and University of Texas alum Jenna Bush Hager was named editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine Monday.

Bush Hager, who is also a contributing correspondent to the "Today" show, will work on the "Paper Napkin Interview," which is a question and answer with a well-known Southerner, and will conduct interviews. She will also work on the "Daily South" blog.

"I was instantly charmed by Jenna's style and charisma," editor-in-chief Lindsay Bierman said. "Her Texas roots, passion for the South, and proven reporting chops make her a natural fit for the brand. I look forward to the fresh perspective she'll bring."

Her first interview will be with country music star Luke Bryan and is scheduled for the March issue.

1. Part of Jenna would love to vote Democratic

The non-"wouldn't it be nice if there wasn't an estate tax" part.

2. She got this job because her name was Bush.

I have seen her on TV and was not impressed with her intelligence. Maybe she will improve as years go by.

4. Not much difference than getting a job because your name is Clinton or Kennedy, though,

and it's not like you have to be a rocket scientist to be an "on air" personality or an at-large editor of a lifestyle magazine.

3. So she has this and a gig at NBC

and is not qualified for either. In the meantime some chump is told there are no job openings.

5. Maybe she could hook up with Chelsea Clinton

and they could bring their own version of the old Crossfire back

7. Do you remember what Jon Stewart did to them?

They were so embarrassed they closed shop.
