Bush Twins In Iowa
snip........

When Louis Krishkunas got the news today, the President of the ISU College Republicans was eager to spread the word. The word that for a while on Thursday, Iowa State will be seeing double. "You know, we got some specail visitors comin' to campus. It's, you know, President Bush's daughters."

But the word is being kept secret, sort of, Barbara and Jenna will talk to an invite-only crowd. The twins are easing their way into the campaign spotlight. They'll be in the shadow of the Campanille. "They just seem like normal college students to a lot of people out there," says Brad Lents, a senior from Winterset. "But to see them get involved on the national stage like this is something amazing, and somethin' that we're gonna celebrate."

snip...........

Barbara and Jenna want to convince their peers to jump on the Bush bus. And from the opinions we received, they shouldn't have much trouble swaying male voters... "Uh, they're beautiful and you just didn't have that with the last presidency," says one.

We also discovered the Bush twins will have to pull a few more tricks to impress the female voters at Iowa State. "The campaign they've got goin' here is 'Hey! look at me. I'm cute! Boys, vote for my dad.' and what's sad is that will probably work for guys on this campus."

5. Yes, their intellectual firepower will surely sway Iowa's undecided voters
What a pathetic farce. Why don't they just put on bib overalls and shuck corn, and pander and condescend to those "ignernt Iwuns" a little bit more.

26. Whoa!!
That statement / thought, would indicate Kerry is doing the same with Vanessa and Alexandria.... They are very active in Kerry's campaign. You are out of line with your broad stroke statment.

50. the story implies they are being pimped
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 10:20 PM by orangepeel68
I saw Alexandra and Vanessa Kerry (along with Cate Edwards and Andre Heinz) speak at a college campus. They eloquently discussed the importance of the election, the impact of bush policies on the environment and economy, and the future of health care. There was NO "Boys, vote for my dad!" about it.

on edit: If Jenna and Barbara Bush could discuss issues, too, it would be the same thing. But, if the story is correct, they are going there to look pretty and flirt. Thus, the story implies they are being pimped.

7. Wow. Where to start?
First off - the only ones "seeing double" will be the drunken Bush twins. They are anything but identical twins, so how the hell could anyone "see double"?

Second - they just had to get a jab in at Chelsea, didn't they? "Uh, they're beautiful and you just didn't have that with the last presidency".

Third - it is quite likely that they will be using their alleged sex appeal to try to sway the male voters. We can only hope that the women of ISU hold their feet to the fire and make them give some substantive answers. Maybe the males would settle for: "um, just vote for our dad, 'cause, like, we're hot and we like to party", but I sure hope the women don't!

Completely puke-worthy.

38. personally I think the bush twins are
Ugly as their mother and father. And if they want to start comparing beauty..then I suggest they stand next to Vanessa, Alexandra, and Cadie!

And, guess what freeperbuts?...Chelsea has grown into a gorgeous young woman! Where's that picture of her at the convention with her long hair..she's very striking!

9. What a piece of Sh*t story
This quote sounds FAUXian-

Barbara and Jenna want to convince their peers to jump on the Bush bus. And from the opinions we received, they shouldn't have much trouble swaying male voters... "Uh, they're beautiful and you just didn't have that with the last presidency," SAYS ONE.

Is that like "some people say", why would the guy they interviewed not give his name?

:eyes:

14. quote: "The [convention] speech made the Bush twins
a media favorite."

Also throw in the numerous grammatical and spelling errors, the occasionaly misplaced quotation marks, and you've got a candidate for the Pulitzer on your hands.

This article makes my disgrace of a local paper actually look kind of good.

11. "Beautiful seems to be a relative term ...
when it comes to conservatives. It says a lot when attractiveness justifies a vote, not something you hear libs often saying. Then again, I think Ann Coulter looks like an abused greyhound with a bad wig.

12. It's, you know, unfortunately invite only...
...so the Great Unwashed Masses need not apply.

Uh, and, you know, a thousand men my age are dead for a lie, but they're hot, so it's cool.

It really churns my stomach, you know, somethin' special that these two are clomping around at my alma mater.

PLEASE, DUers....these morons DON'T represent your typical Iowa Stater!!!

22. You know, that's what I thought, too.
I saw a photo of Chelsea just the other day, and I thought she looked great. I think, at least part of it, is that she looks intelligent. Her eyes give her brains away (as it were). And the Bush twins...well, just don't look too closely at their eyes or you might just see the Beast.

23. "White Panty Parties"....
I wonder if the twins will be having the "Elvis White Panty Parties" for the Iowans, like they did for Prince Bandar.

Kitty Kelly's book is Bush-smut.... and I want it!

31. They have to do a little better than that
Anyone who gets in to listen to them giggle will no doubt have to sign a loyalty oath. That won't sway anyone who isn't already stupid enough to be on the "bush bus".

their intelligence, personality, and sense of humor. The Twins score zero in all those categories.
