The phrase "shake it like a polaroid picture" is from the Outkast song talking about shaking their booty while dancing. remember "bend over let me see you shake your tail feathers" from "The Blues Brothers" movie same thing.

I'm not worrying in the least about the girl's fashion. ...I just thought it was funny that she wore an Al Sharpton jogging suit.
Make up your mind.

You honestly can't distinguish between "worrying" about something and "laughing at" something?

As I said, you're an odd one.

Are you familiar with the concept of keeping things in perspective?

Not until you came along. Why don't you enlighten me.

I actually took it as mocking the Kerrys not their dad.

As did I.

If Arnold were here he'd call these worryworts girlie men. I have never seen such panic and fear over NOTHING. By Thursday Evening, nobody is going to remember the girls even spoke, much less any of the silly things they said. This is crazy.

"Most people send their children to Catholic school for the values and morals that are taught and how cool they are is not among them.

Are you at all concerned about their goodness, strength of character and love for God? It certainly doesn't sound like it."


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . yet another pretentious, anal retentive, sanctimonious Freeper PRESUMING to lecture me about morality/character issues [If you only knew . . . which by the way is the point . . . you don't know!!]

BTW the descriptors that I used in my original post were 'shorthand' rhetorical devices designed to communicate the following: "coolest of the cool" -- my son and friends are 'plugged in' to contemporary popular culture (they know what other kids consider 'cool') // "Catholic High School" -- my son/friends, while aware of popular culture, are not slaves to it. They attend Catholic HS because they and we 'walk the talk' when it comes to our Christian values -- 'nuf said!

They talked for way to long on things that were not funny at all.

I was cringing too.

But I will say that Barbra came off much better and more well-spoken than Jenna.

At least they don't claim to be experts on things they know nothing about, unlike Ron Reagan Jr.

This convention had a ton of momentum and Barbara and Jenna brought it to a screeching halt. I am not so much of a humorless tight ass that I thought any of it was inappropriate. It just wasn't funny. The gals ought to get Jay Leno to stop writing their material for them.

Relax Edith... "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" is a line in a song by Outkast, one of the hottest bands for the 35 and under crowd.

The girls did quite well. They were truly funny, a bit goofy, and appropriate! Barbara Bush and Bush41 enjoyed the speech and were laughing yet the old hags and prudes of Free Republic and angry enough to remove their house dresses and slippers, put on the flowered long dress with the high neck line and take the streets in their Buick Le Sabre's. Oy!

Wow that's clever - making fun of a screenname. You're going to spend a lot of time insulting and hollering if you are expecting everyone to have lockstep opinions about the Bush girls.

I never said she wasn't laughing. I chuckled a few times too, but I didn't think the girls were that funny. If they had been my lil darlins though....:')

The grandmother joke just made me uncomfortable. If you know Mrs. Bush (I don't) maybe you can ask her if she wasn't taken aback just for a second there and let me know.

Nah, don't. Even though I'm not Republican, I still support the president and am proud of him and his family but they don't walk on water. No sense in doing the enemies work though so I think I'll back on out of this thread.

Yup, they ruined the vibe that was going on.

Right after they dropped the 'Sex in the city' line it was obvious the crowd didn't know how to take it.

It was like they were all looking at one another going "Are we supposed to laugh?"

I really thought they'd be better.

They should be seen and not heard.

"Their attempt at a humorous speech made me cringe, and I'm pretty "hip"."

I saw it on C-span this morning, and I cringed, too. It was a disaster, IMO.
