Do not be fooled by Jenna Bush.
She has wrapped herself in the golden glow of celebrity. But she is something else entirely.
For almost seven years, the blond Bush twin has reveled in the trappings associated with Hollywood starlets -- from wearing made-to-order designer clothes to smiling brightly from the glossy pages of a Vogue photo spread. She has walked red carpets and swanned past velvet ropes. Like so many celebrities, she has taken on a cause -- education -- and is using her fame to stir interest and attract media attention to an upcoming book tour. She has indulged in the kind of naughty behavior that paints her as human but not necessarily in need of an intervention. As she said onstage at the 2004 Republican convention, in a scripted introduction of her mother that had all the awkward, self-deprecating humor of an Oscar segue: She and her twin, Barbara, had misbehaved when they were "young and irresponsible." Who couldn't relate to that?
Jenna even had a moment of public exasperation with the media -- her own version of a modest paparazzi meltdown. She stuck her tongue out at the press corps from behind the gray windows of the presidential limousine while campaigning with her father.

Some presidential children seemed perfectly suited to the job of symbol. The image of Chelsea Clinton walking hand in hand with her parents toward a waiting helicopter, symbolically bridging the divide caused by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, is a part of history. But from the beginning, Jenna struggled with the demands of presidential symbolism. She wore a cherry-red camisole onstage when her father celebrated his reelection in 2004, prompting questions about whether first daughters should wear lingerie-like clothing on such public occasions.

B.D.S. carries on into the next generation. What a silly aritcle.
Isn’t this the same bimbo who wrote the snarky piece abot Cheney in the parka?
She needs to get a life.
That ain't a "symbol" at all . . . it's a propaganda tool.
I wonder if even 10% of the people in government these days -- including their families -- would fit any outside-the-Beltway definition of "normal."
Why, oh why, can’t she more like the beautiful, talented, and oh so well behaved Chelsea Clinton? Not only was Chelsea the rock that held the first family together, but also, in our nation’s darkest hour, there she was in the thick of things at the WTC.
What absolute drivel.....(sigh)
This woman was “The Player of the Week” on Fox News Sunday a few weeks ago.....and yeah, she was the one sniping at Cheney.
I celebrate Jenna’s spirit. What do they want - some kind of cardboard kid who robotically does everything expected?
What a steaming pile this article is..
She has indulged in the kind of naughty behavior that paints her as human but not necessarily in need of an intervention.
Make sure it's vague and unnamed. Then every reader can make up his own horror story in his mind.
She’s green with envy and probably green with mold!
hat is why the paper is dying
Where’s the GAG alert? WP = vomit
“Isn’t this the same bimbo who wrote the snarky piece about Cheney in the parka?”
And about Hillary’s cleavage.
The only good thing about a Robin Givhan WaPo article are the abusive letters-to-the-editor the next day bashing the author for having no life.
-she wrote the hit piece on Katherine Harris’s lipstick......if I remember correctly.
“it’s a propaganda tool”
“Crapaganda” is a more fitting word....;-D
Baffling people like her get paid for dribble like this.
