Barbara (L) and Jenna Bush, the daughters of U.S. President George W Bush, walk together from the Darnall Army Community Hospital in Fort Hood, Texas, April 11, 2004

Here's a contrast:

During Bill's first year in the White house, Chelsea was assigned a specific sedan to ride in for a state function, as was everyone else. The driver held the door open and she backed out , turned, and said, "I won't ride in this car! There's a military man in there, and I don't ride with military men.!" The senior officer calmly got out of the car and found another vehicle to ride in. In another incident, Chelsea asked the Marine escorting her to school to wear civilian clothes in the future, not his uniform because, "My family doesn't like military people." In yet another incident, Lt. General Barry McCaffrey had been summoned to the White house. As he was leaving, he encounterd a young woman who was a member of the White house staff. General McCaffrey smiled and said "Good morning." She replied , "I don't speak to the military." U.S. News & World Report 3/15/93; Sunday Telegraph of London 4/1/93; The Buffalo News, 4/14/93.

"During Clinton's first year in office, an incident occurred which was buried by the news media. The occasion was a departure for a state function, a routine operation. Vehicles were lined up outside the White House... Young Chelsea Clinton, like everyone else, was assigned a specific sedan. But when Chelsea was about to get into her limo, she turned around and declared, 'I won't ride in this car! There's a military man in here, and I don't ride with military men!'" - Lt. Col. Tom McKenney in the 1994 book, "The Clinton Chronicles"

"My family doesn't like military people." - Chelsea Clinton; quoted in Truth In Media; Jan. 18, 1998 issue.

Chelsea also refered to her Secret Service bodyguards as her "personally trained pigs"

Pure class, the Bush Daughters are.

Quite a contrast, isn't it?

Yet these two young women are being torn to shreds for what some deem to be inappropriate attire.

That's all news to me. I knew the Klintons had contempt for the military, but didn't realize it was THAT blatant... How disgraceful.
