Anchor gets stuck on Bush's boat By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer 12 minutes ago President Bush's presidency is stuck in low gear. On Sunday, his fishing boat was stuck on stop. Fellow Republicans may not be rushing to rescue his legislative agenda, but the Secret Service bailed Bush out of a jam when his boat anchor got wedged in rocks along the Atlantic Coast. Relaxing before his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the president went fishing with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, and daughter, Barbara. They dropped the anchor to fish less than 100 feet from...

Jenna Bush is stepping out. We didn't even know she was coming. I first saw her at our stop at the Fann Hospital for HIV/AIDS patients in Dakar, Senegal. She was with her mother, the first lady, getting a tour of the garden that provides the hospital's patients with vegetables. I had never really seen her close up. The only time I saw her in public was leaving the White House to board Marine One with her parents. I had heard the party-girl reports, and saw the infamous picture of her playfully sticking her tongue out at the White House...

Dear America, It's Chelsea Clinton. Remember me? We got to know each other way back in the summer of 1991, when I was 11. Yep, that's right. I was the one with the ill-fitting velvet dress and the princess sleeves. Yeah, the one with all the bows. We've been through a lot, you and I, haven't we? So many seminal moments. You saw me go through my headband phase, I saw you go through NAFTA. I did complicated dances in ballet class, you did complicated dances in the Middle East. They let me into Stanford, you didn't let gays into...

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - The U.S. Embassy in Argentina rejected reports that it had told President George W. Bush's twin daughters to leave the country after a widely publicized purse-snatching incident.

The incident led to teasing by Argentine media about the twins' seemingly ineffective...

Amid a growing barrage of front-page headlines, U.S. embassy officials "strongly suggested" President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, cut short their trip to Buenos Aires because of security issues, U.S. diplomatic and security sources tell ABC News. But the girls have stayed on, celebrating their 25th birthday over the weekend and producing even more headlines about their activities. Officials say the media coverage upstaged publicity plans for the new U.S. Ambassador Anthony Wayne, who had only recently arrived in the country. Neither the White House nor the U.S. embassy in Buenos Aires responded to requests for comment. The...

"For you youngsters, I want to tell you something: When I was your age, I thought 60 was really old," he said during a speech on immigration. "It's all in your mind. It's not that old, it really isn't." Earlier, during a roundtable with immigrants to the United States, Bush joked with one father of two young children: "You think my hair is gray because I'm president? No, my hair...

TURIN, Italy -- Before we have the privilege of chatting with presidential daughter Barbara Bush -- or, before we attempt to chat with her while she gives us a withering, Medusa-like stare -- we have the privilege of standing in the cold outside a place called Club Bud, where we have the privilege of shouting questions at a woman who is apparently well-known in Italy for being a showgirl. SNIP And then, as if out of a dream, sitting by themselves on a long expanse of red couch, are first daughter Barbara Bush and an Unidentified Female Companion. Barbara accompanied...
