Cadet Michael Wolk, of West Point, had his game face on as he worked the room. He had been chosen to escort Ms. Bush, along with her older brother Pierce Bush. “For me, this is a chance for us in the military to interact with our peers on the civilian side,” he said. He wore the West Point “dress blues,” a uniform covered in shiny gold buttons that dates back to the Civil War. “Tonight, during the presentation, I will be carrying the American flag behind Ashley as she processes up,” he said, “and then stand just to her back right onstage when she does her curtsey—which will be a Texas curtsey, because she’s from Texas, so she’ll go very low to the ground. It’s a very difficult maneuver.”

“I’ve been working out so that I can give her a firm helping hand up,” said Pierce Bush, 20, an American studies major at the University of Texas. He wore a tuxedo with tails and white gloves and bore a striking resemblance to his cousin, the TV personality Billy Bush.

Ms. Bush was at front of the line. “It’s exciting, but kind of a nerve-racking responsibility,” she said of being the leader of the pack. “You know—because I’ve gotta show everyone up,” she added and giggled.

“Miss Ashley Walker Bush,” came the voice of announcer, Ivan Obolensky, who is also the chairman of the Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’, Coast Guard and Airmen’s Club. “Daughter of Sharon Bush and Mr. Neil Bush, and granddaughter of President George Herbert Walker Bush and Mrs. Bush, Houston, Tex., and New York, N.Y.”

Ms. Bush ascended the stage on the arm of her brother, with the diligent Mr. Wolk trailing close behind carrying the American flag. She then let go of her brother’s arm and proceeded with to “Texas dip.”

First she spread her gloved arms out to the sides, plié-style, then slowly bent all the way down, transitioning further into an almost seated position on the floor. Then she touched her nose to her toes. And then slowly all the way back up, with the gentle assistance of Pierce’s hand. And all without breaking wind. She smiled.

The temporarily anxious crowd burst into applause. “I cried,” said Ms. Bush, who wore a black Vicky Tiel blouse-and-pants set. “She seemed so comfortable.”

It's the only solution. And for those who get queasy, we can just burn them, thus helping America become less dependent on foreign oil.

4. Everything I don't want my daughter to be.......

[PDJane]

8. If I had a daughter,

I would prefer her to have different ambitions, thank you.

I have a son.......and frankly, he has different ambitions too. I will admit that he doesn't have that airhead smile. For better or for worse, he often has that slightly cynical grin that seems to be a family trait. I think it's an improvement.

5. Why does anyone care? Now, if it was the Stepford Wife or kids, I might.

This is too easy.

7. She sure didn't go to Iraq

Like Cheney, she had other priorities.

9. Does "Texas Dip" refer to her curtsey or to her escort, Pierce?

Both, I guess!

10. i thought this was some regular family that clears brush and people

12. what do you think Pierce's gloves are for?

11. Interesting comments from participating Brits re room temp. IQ Texans

"Outside, Lady Henrietta Seymour—the “wild one” Mr. Carroll had had his eye on—was enjoying a quick after-dinner fag with her friend, Freddy Paterson-Morgan. Ms. Seymour, scion of the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, had pink sunglasses perched atop her head and was pleased to show off leopard-print tights under her gown.

She said she’d been to four different prep schools in the last three years. For his part, Mr. Paterson-Morgan, a theology student at Oxford, had rounded out his formal wear with black Wayfarers and wine-stained teeth.

“I don’t know what ‘coming out’ is in the first place,” Lady Seymour said. Her escort was more voluble. “It’s full of room-temperature-IQ Texans, ghastly boring Americans and ugly old people,” he said of the party. “It’s ghastly—it’s so bloody pretentious. Yes, there are beautiful women here, but their brains are like Down syndrome. Bad breeding, bad brains.”

He took a deep pull from his cigarette and exhaled, and continued with equal theater. “We stopped doing this sort of thing 100 years ago,” he said. “It still goes on now, but it’s lower-class peasants who do it.”

“Fuck off,” Lady Seymour shot back. “Stop being such an obnoxious dick.”
(end of quote)
An obnoxious dick he may well be, but he's spot on about the bad breeding/bad brains when it comes to the Bush kids.

13. Wow!

She can bow low while wearing a pretty dress! What a boon for humanity!

[EST]

14. Oh, my!

And all this time I had thought THE Texas dip was either Tom DeLay or the the other twit-watzisname? Oh yeah, "W."

16. A Good Working Class Family Story.

I hope those two can make next month's health care coverage payment.

I mean with the cost of renting a tuxedo and all - do you think they might have gone beyond their household budget?

It's good to keep up-to-date on the Bush family.

Just to "keep it real".

You know?

[Erika]

17. Yeah the Bush's are just everyday family

Except they wouldn't consider sending one of their own to Iraq. "That's for those other people".

19. She has a really big head.

Just sayin'...

I am really hoping that this constitutes her 15 minutes of fame.
