Just because you didn't understand the jokes didn't mean they were 'lame".
I had input from many kids their age and they loved it. I loved it too, because they were so much like my daughters.
They tease me all the time and I adore it.
Personally I don't want these things to be MTVized so a group of people that mostly don't vote anyway will think Republicans are cool. Maybe we can get really cool and have J-Lo or Janet Jackson at the next one.
Also, I think if this had been a Kerry daughters' presentation the opinion on FR would be unanimous that it stunk. I'm not going to go ga, ga over it just because it's the Bush Twins. I haven't thought much of them in the past and this didn't warm me up to them. They seem like pretty shallow people to me--maybe they'll grow up.
This new trend of getting the kids involved is a liberal approach--one I think the Republicans should not follow. It would be different if they were 40 years old and had done something spectacular in their own right. But they are 22 year old giggly girls with no accomplishments--they should have been onstage when the balloons came down and that's it.
