No Joke, Twins' Act Needs Work
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...home-headlines
No Joke, Twins' Act Needs Work The Bush daughters, fresh from their booing this week at the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, came onstage at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night and introduced a new strategy in the war on terrorism: giggling. They were there to introduce their father, President Bush, who appeared via satellite from Pennsylvania, where he stood in front of a softball game and introduced First Lady Laura Bush. But there were hiccups along the way to the first lady's entrance, courtesy of her 22-year-old twin daughters, who carry themselves with an implied raunch. The Republicans, you were reminded, are really good at chest-thumping and flag-hugging, but they ought to stay away from showcasing their privileged, Prada-wearing first daughters until the campaign is over. After the speeches were over, even CNN's talking heads seemed to be struggling to make sense of the sisters' sister act. Judy Woodruff stammered, "I'm not sure what that was about" while an incensed Jeff Greenfield called the appearance a "frankly discordant moment."

SEPTEMBER 1, 2004 A NOT-SO-NEUTRAL CORNER By Ciro Scotti Most embarrassing moment: Being introduced by the Duh Twins, Jenna and Barbara, a pair ditsy enough to make Jessica Simpson seem like Ayn Rand (  ). The girls weren't kidding when they said: "You know all those times when your parents embarrass you? Well, it's payback time -- on live TV."

From the New York Post, of all place (!):
September 1, 2004 -- The Bush twins made their national television debut last night — with a string of weak one-liners that drew cringes from the crowd and at one point brought a soft rebuke from their grandparents. The twins, Barbara and Jenna Bush, had the job of introducing President Bush, who in turn introduced First Lady Laura Bush. For much of their brief time on stage, the twins seemed to amuse themselves more than the crowd. Some delegates in Madison Square Garden seemed startled when Jenna Bush accused her beloved grandmother Barbara of being too opinionated, hating their clothes and being out of touch with pop culture. "She thinks, 'Sex and the City' is something married people do, but never talk about," Jenna said. President George H. W. Bush smiled and wagged his finger at his granddaughter, as if to say "shame." They also referenced a speech given at the Democratic convention by the daughters of their father's opponent, John Kerry, by saying they, too, had a hamster. But unlike in the Kerry household, where the presidential candidate jumped into the water to save the family pet, "let's just say ours didn't make it," Barbara Bush said.

Jenna definitely has that doofus Dubya grin and Barbara is the picture perfect copy of her mother's blank Stepford Wife-esque stare.
I wonder if Barbara got straight Cs/Ds at Yale like her father did? Chelsea Clinton may have been awkward while growing up in the White House, but at least she has a brain in her head. These Bush twins are brash and arrogant just like their father. I'm sure their grandmother was cringing with embarrassment

If those girls were from a less-wealthy family, their future careers would involve polished poles and money-stuffed g-strings, rather than political polls, money-laundering, and G-Men.

Loving the avatar, Merf!!! Paul Hamm is hot, hot, HOT!!!! He's SUCH eye candy, but then he opens his mouth and....  Oh, well... some people are turned on by those squeaky, faggy, dwarven gymnastic voices. However, I prefer a more purring, masculine voice myself. I kept hoping for some better crotch shots from him during the games, but alas- no luck!

He didn't do anything deserving of that. He didn't cheat, he didn't engage in improper behaviour, etc. It was the judges' fault, not the athlete's. And, as such, a duplicate Gold Medal should be awarded to Yang Tae Young, while allowing Hamm to keep his. When you think about it, no one is asking Kim Dae Eunto to give up his Silver Medal, when he actually won the Bronze Medal by all rights. So why is it fair to ask Hamm to give up his Gold?
