I know my kids are fantastic but they are not without some "growing pains" (pains in the a$$)!
I can't imagine anyone chastizing either of the Bush girls for partying in college. Get over it.
It’s hard to imagine a more privileged upbringing. Once upon a time the WASP ruling classes imbued a sense of the responsibilities those privileges entailed. Jenna spent the first three years of her family’s return (so it’s not like the family didn’t understand the scrutiny of the office) to the pinnacle of power and privilege indulging herself, helping to reinforce every liberal talking point about the self-indulgence of the Right.
Now she’s married into a Republican noble house, so she’ll probably start paying more attention to the lessons from her mother about more carefully concealing her country club attitudes (although I think somebody should have at least thought harder about letting her tell the proposal story in such a way as to reveal that she and her boyfriend were already sharing a tent), but it’s hard to imagine how she could have done much more damage to the Republican Party’s fortunes with the middle classes short of knocking over liquor stores.
People gushing about her Texan wholesomeness and so forth are indulging a complete rewrite of history.
