In a particularly ugly election-eve attack, a top Democratic National Committee official attacked first daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush for what he said was their lack of morality.
Appearing on WWRL radio in New York City, DNC Deputy Chairman Ben Johnson was debating whether moral issues like gay marriage and abortion were behind the recent trend among African American voters toward Bush.
Suddenly Johnson got personal, telling co-hosts Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter: "Let me say this. No one has a monopoly on morality in this country. If you want to talk about morality, I mean, look at George Bush's daughters. If he was such a heck of a father, why couldn't he keep those girls straight? They were out there . . . ."
At that point Malzberg interrupted to tell Johnson his attack was out of line. But rather than withdraw the comments, the DNC honcho insisted, "It's a fact, it's a fact."
Before joining the DNC, Johnson served for eight years as director of President Clinton's Initiative for One America program.
Yeah lots of class there. And the Dems accuse Bush of 'dividing the country'? PLEASE!!
What? If they didn't get knocked up at the age of twelve and they haven't had the adadicktomy operation by eighteen, they're immoral?
I can't wait for these losers to be vanquished tomorrow night.
BTW, the Bush girls are quite tame compared to the agonies my sister and I put my parents through!

Did anyone see those pictures last year of Chelsea Clinton who was so drunk at a British pub that she had to be carried out of the joint ?
Not that I think that type of thing has any place in campaigning- daughters of candidates should be off limits.. That was a really low blow by that Dem guy.
Anybody that "served" under Clinton in his administration should be the last people in the world to complain about the Bush family morals.
Charming bunch, aren't they? What happened to that Zone of Privacy thing?
Dems are flaming to the ground.
hmmm. i hope it was a call in show and someone brought up a see through dress worn by a particular kerry daughter.
That's only for Web Hubbell's daughter.
He might want to take a look at Kerry's daughters' relationships, and see through clothes!
What a scumbag.
Who exactly is he trying to appeal to here? Since when did Democrat voters ever care about morality in the first place?
Of course sKerry's daughter is the definition of morality. Desparate hypocrites.
Tomorrow is going to be so much fun. Meltdown in t-minus 30 hours...
