Mr. Bush spoke of the importance of offering children "unconditional love," and when asked whether he spanked his twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, when they were young, responded, "Not really." He said they "were normal teenagers, and at times very difficult," and he described what happened when Jenna, riding in his limousine with him, recently stuck her tongue out at journalists.

"And I said, 'Jenna, you just made national news,' " he said. "I said, 'You've got to be careful. You're in a fishbowl, and whether you like it or not, every move you make, particularly when you're with me, will be recorded.' And I think she felt terrible about it."

8. Drunken slut?

Hmmm....

[Norquist Nemesis]

4. He just then let her know she's in a fish bowl?

Did he somehow miss the story and pics of the twins falling down drunk with cigarettes in their hands? :eyes:

5. Actually, after Georgw W. claimed they didn't spank their daughters,

Laura said: not much.

[jmowreader]

11. Throwing them at the wall when they fuck up isn't technically "spanking"

so he's technically right.

12. The Bimbos spoke yesterday to cheering students at Bates College

(a college for the wealthy but tremendous scholarship program for those who don't have money). However, several students escorted out because had signs, coffins, etc. I loved one of the signs it read: Mary Kate & Ashley--Go Home!!!!!!!!!!

13. The real story . . .

Mr. Bush spoke of the importance of paying attention to your children "when the spirit moves you", and when asked whether he spanked his twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, when they were young, responded, "Not really . . . maybe when Laura felt in the mood . . . don't print that or you're on a one-way plane to Guantanamo." He said between tumblers full of gin that they "were normal teenagers; you know, drunk and stoned every other night and with turnstile crotches" and he described what happened when Jenna, riding in his limousine with him, recently stuck her tongue out at journalists.

"And I said, 'you stupid bitch, what's the goddamned Christian commun'ty gonna think' " he said. "I said, 'Get your head out of that shopworn ass of yours. You're in a fishbowl, and whether you like it or not, every move you make, particularly when you're gargling loads in DC bathrooms, will be recorded.' Between bong hits and line snorts, she told me to fuck off. Kids. Can't live with 'em, can't draft 'em (wink)."

14. I thought she was in a limo? I remember that pic too.

When did this police car incident happen?

[HughBeaumont]

15. Photoshopped

[OneTwentyoNine]

21. Yep retouched but DAMN...Bush family members look good in cop cars...

Wonder if thats the same side Chimp sat on when he got his DUI??

22. Look like a different vehicle here in this photo -

Family values are the issue!

[noonwitch]

16. This shouldn't be an issue-who cares if she stuck her tongue out?

She's not running for President. I actually don't blame her for resenting the media, they cross the line frequently when covering presidential children, whether it's the twins or Chelsea Clinton.

I'll never forget the day of the Columbine shooting, when the authorities were still evacuating the kids from the school, and there are all the representatives of the tv news stations sticking their microphones in the faces of these traumatized kids. They have no sense of decency.

[Bridget Burke]

19. If she resents the media so much.....

Why doesn't she quit the campaign & get a job?

[catzies]

17. Good Photoshop! Jenna was in a limo when she stuck her tongue out

but that one is even better. :evilgrin:

[progressivebydesign]

18. No, he said "I THINK she felt terrible about it".

Not that she actually did.. Yikes.. if those are normal teenagers, my stepkids who are not falling down drunk are abnormal. wow.

[Quahog]

20. Oh, he's talking about the LIMO thing! Whew!

I thought he was refering to the incident involving Jenna's tongue and my sphincter! She promised she wasn't going to tell!!

[robbedvoter]

23. The "10 year old America" also feels terrible about Bush

''It struck me ... that this president sees America as we think about a 10-year-old child, ''I know as a parent I would sacrifice all for my children."

24. Bush on kids: "Mine are a pain in the ass." (from July Vanity Fair)

I posted this in July. No link - typed in from the hard copy:

The quote is from the current issue of Vanity Fair (August 2004), from an article by Christopher Hitchens (a famous imbiber) on the subject of George W. Bush's purported alcoholism. Hitchens suggests Bush might do better to drink a little more.

Hitchens:

"Above all, I think Ms. Laura keeps him in order. The twins are now old enough to violate local drinking ordinances on their own (Bush concealed his D.U.I. conviction for so long, he says, because he didn't want to set them a bad example), but their mother still stands between the little apples and the tree. A prominent senator told me not that long ago that, while visiting the president, he had complimented him on the desk photos of his girls. "You have children?" Bush asked. "Oh yes, Mr. President." "You like them?" "Of course, Mr. President." Without pausing, Bush said, "Mine are a pain in the ass." The impressive thing, said my informant, was the Aztec-like straightness of Bush's face as he said this. Perhaps he resents them because they can cut loose and tipple, and he can't. "Every morning Bush wakes up knowing one thing for absolute certain," says one who has known him, "Today is a day on which he will not have a drink."

25. Wouldn't surprise me ...

We know he like to sneak a look now and again:



And she obviously REALLY likes daddy!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

27. You know, I could have easily gone the rest of my life without knowing...

...that Bush likes to sneak a look down his own daughter's cleavage.

Dear God.

31. Isn't there a federal law against "that"?

[Skittles]

26. YOU ILLEGALLY INVADED A COUNTRY YOU F***ING ASSHOLE

AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CHASTISE YOUR DAUGHTER FOR MAKING A FACE????

[theboss]

28. I still don't care about politicians' kids

Unless the kid is a member of Hamas or something, who cares?

[PsN2Wind]

29. Damn! Everytime I see that

picture, I have a flashback to the Amityville Horror. If the eyes were red, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

[ComerPerro]

30. I wonder how many times

a member of the Bush family has been in the back of a police car, in handcuffs...

[onethatcares]

32. notice he said,

"I think she feels terrible about it". he hasn't a clue how she feels, she probly said, "whatever", get off my case" and walked away. That's how I picture him being a father.
