Rosslyn, Va.: Dan, You hit the nail right on the head! YES the Bush twins (at least one of them) should join the Army and be sent overseas to Iraq. This would show Americans how truly patriotic Bush and his family is and that he is not afraid of terrorists as he is willing to let his daughters give up their lives for their country. Then perhaps he could debate John Kerry about patriotism.
Dan Froomkin: I don't think any of this is their fault. And they're overtly apolitical. Could this be a cheap shot?
Funny, I don't recall anyone asking Clinton to send Chelsea overseas to fight in Bosnia, Haiti, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Iraq, etc.
I just love this lib line of attack, where parents are supposed to enlist their children in the military because the parents are politicians. Since when do parents pick their children's careers for them?
