My oldest got an award from DUKE UNIV. Gifted and Talented program. When he was in 7th grade. NOW that he is 23 I would value his opinion on politics and national defense. But at age 16, I would listen, but I wouldn't let it influence me if I were a senator or president. Kids can be very smart but they lack the experience and maturity to make huge decisions, that is why we are here to care for them at that age.

You got THAT right!

They still won't forget that Jenna had a margarita a few months before she turned 21. In Austin, ALL the kids do that! My daughter is a Junior at UT. They have bumper stickers in Austin that read....

WWJD?
What Would Jenna Drink?

Remember that Chelsea Clinton sat in with Bill and Yassir Arafat at peace negotiations. Yeah, she is another brilliant person, with so much expertise!! Actually, Chelsea and Amy Carter, and the Kerry kid probably wouldn't do much worse than their stupid fathers.

Alexandra ... oh yeah ... she's the one who wore the see-thru dress at the Cans Film Festival. Some smart chick, that one!

Exactly (nice-tag ping for the resident tagline collector to boot)

She looks like a super-bimbo-slut --- did she wear that dress around her father or any of his friends?

I could mention something about S(l)ick Willie, but this is a family forum.

I get to sound off on a pet peeve ... cool! Something has bothered me for a long time about how Carter gets slammed on Amy's counsel on nuclear disarmament.

My take on that statement in the debate is that Carter was trying to get cute about how the bomb was hanging over the heads of the next generations. He used a rhetorical device; he wasn't soliciting policy decisions from a 13 year old. Remember, Jimmah was a nuclear engineer as well as a peanut farmer; he is intelligent.

What happened next is that the not-so-intelligent anchors came out with "look, he gets his ideas from Amy" and from that point forward - remember, at that time there was no alternate media - Jimmy was forever damned by that statement. Who would contradict them?

I don't say this in defense of Carter! Far from it. I think he is right down there with Benjamin Pierce when it comes to presidential ranking. But I guess it pisses me off that the press gets away with their stupidity. Or ... Jimmy really did base policy on what his 13 year old said and I'm giving him far more credit than he deserves.

Finally, the above does not apply to the Kerry situation. There, I think Kerry is like Lord Derby (see Steyn's latest).

There is a maturing that goes on in the brain at about age 20.

Uhh..., I'm not sure I can entirely agree with you there...

;-)

Just great! A naive sheltered girl of 16 dictates how her father should vote. Is Kerry so incompetent that he must list to an ignoramus for what adult tax payers want?

Did he share any classified info with her, before he voted?

The first Gulf War was an incredibly easy decision...and he botched it. Blaming a relative is how lacking in character Kerry is.

Well supposedly the brain starts maturing at about age 20. Maybe not for everyone. But we become "adults" at age 21. My children are all "adults" now, If I use that term VERY loosely! LOL

This news is coming out too late. The Kerry campaign sure could've used it to buttress their claim during the convention that Kerry has great strength. They're shaking their heads in frustration this morning, I betcha.

Sheesh, whada loser.
