Dude, I'm about as unconventional as a Freeper could imagine. Just sayin' I know Barbara Sr. don't take no $#!t!
So, more like - go girls!
No no no no no. Don't you see how embarassing it must be for Barbara to have her grand-daughters poke some light-hearted fun at her lack of familiarity with what goes on in the minds of 20 year olds. This is such a serious moment. Her laughter is just covering up her shock and outrage. Barbara is a strong-minded woman who knows the right and proper. Those girls will hear about it later - I am sure of it. [/sarcasm]
They did great; and I'm 30 years old and hip... they did very good.
PING
I'd be embarassed if you were my parent. Jeese, what level of prig-hell do you come from?
Jenna and Barbara flopped bigtime. You know it and I know it. You can put lipstick on the pig all you want...but it is still a pig.
But, I don't think it matters much in the long run, thank goodness.
flame? How 'bout this, you are wrong.
I was at work tonight and kept reading here about how awful the twins were. I had set the VCR to tape C-Span's coverage, so when I got home a few minutes ago I rewound to the twins' segment and watched it first.
It was a little silly, but not that bad. Basically, they were trying to be a little bit playful. Some of the jokes fell flat, but so do some of Jay Leno's. The idea was to be lighthearted, with the girls telling some jokes and poking fun at their "square" elders, and then for President Bush to appear at a baseball game, appearing a little laid back himself.
It wasn't meant to be a serious policy speech. It was a chance to highlight the twins in a humorous way. The girls were a little nervous and some of their jokes were duds, but it wasn't anything to get all bent out of shape over. They were cute and were just trying to add a little humor to the proceedings.
Well keep your kids away from any half-way decent educational institution then, because that is how they might turn out. Folks who have this in their blood for countless generations have a habit of laughing at themselves and look down their noses at prigs who take themselves too seriously.
If you are such a political genius, brush up on your social psychology or common sense.
prigs are prigs and are best left as democrats.
I cannot get over the sanctimonious twits on this forum sometimes.
I'm alway so relieved that I don't know them in real life -- and I am POSITIVE my kids are glad I am NOT like them!
I highly doubt that either W or Laura would, at that age and on a public stage, have acted the way those two did. Jeb's son certainly didn't back in 2000 -- and no-one could accuse him of not knowing how to have a good time in his private life.
Of course the Bush family is big enough to absorb this, classy enough not to act embarrassed, and loyal to each other to a degree that is worthy of study and emulation.
It's really a non-issue, and I didn't mean to make a big deal out of it. I was just more surprised by it than anything, to tell the truth.
This statement shows that you are about as conventional-minded as a Freeper can be. Barbara sr. seemed to be having a whale of a good time. Maybe that is because she is comfortable with herself, knows that they are good kids, and doesn't mind an innocent prank at her [very minimal] expense.
Well it just wouldn't be a party if you weren't here with a snide remark.
PRING- A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety, especially in an irritatingly arrogant or smug manner.
Chiefly British. A petty thief or pickpocket.
Archaic. A conceited dandy; a fop.
So all you prigs, go prig yourselves.
How you doing Howlin? Always nice to see you, we agree on a lot of issues.
Mom Bush was laughing. Why weren't you?
Then if their father, the President of the United States of America who has led the greatest nation on earth into one of the most important wars in our history, doesn't have a probem with them and what they did, WHY THE HELL DO YOU?????
If they did one more variation of the "we thought we could do this, but then found out that there's somebody named ____ already doing it!" gag, I was going to scream.
It was thoroughly lame, but at least they remained very good-looking throughout. Especially the brunette. (Why did the blonde wear an Al Sharpton jogging jacket anyway?)
Actually, they are classy enough not to be embarassed. Also, I find your notions about public vs private behavior frightening.
