Peroutka: Remarks of Bush Twins to GOP Convention Foolish, Embarrassing, Dishonorable, Not Funny
Yahoo! News ^ | September 1, 2004

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement is from Constitution Party Presidential candidate Michael Anthony Peroutka whose running mate is Dr. Chuck Baldwin of Pensacola, Florida:

Is it just me or does anybody else believe that the remarks of the Bush twins at the Republican Convention were foolish, embarrassing, dishonorable to their parents and grandparents, and not funny. Did anybody else cringe and feel sorry for our President and country when Jenna Bush said that Grandma Barbara Bush is "not very hip" because she thinks the TV show "Sex And The City" is "something married people do, but never talk about?"

Jenna Bush's assertion that "Outkast" is a band and "not a bunch of misfits" is --- well, just Google this motley, foul-mouthed, toilet-tongued crew. Check out their photos and lyrics. And I think you'll agree that the word "misfit" doesn't even begin to accurately describe these raunchy rappers.

As for Jenna Bush saying that her Mom and Dad, if begged, would "shake it like a Polaroid picture" (an "Outkast" lyric), the folks at Polaroid say their pictures should not be shaken. A Polaroid spokesman says: "Almost everybody does it, thinking that shaking accelerates the development process, but if you shake it too vigorously you could distort the image. A casual shake typically doesn't affect it."

Barbara Bush said she and Jenna, while not very political, love their Dad "too much to stand back and watch from the sidelines." So, they are campaigning for him. But if they love their Dad, and I'm sure they do, and want to help him, perhaps they should not only stand back and watch from the sidelines but also be quiet while they are standing and watching.

Finally, "Outkast" was not at the GOP Convention. But there were those who were cast out and not allowed to speak there in primetime --- any identifiable outspoken conservative who is: Pro-life; anti-illegal immigration; pro-Second Amendment; anti-Big Government; against Federally-funded education; and anti the war in Iraq.

Laura Bush knew what the Twin were going to say and she approved it. That's all you need to know. It was cute. that's all it was meant to be.

Novak was going all off on how terrible the Twin's speech was. The problem for Novak and many like him is that they seem to be incapable of understanding that the twins were talking to their peers and not some grumpy old white guys.

Will the media go after Peroutka's remarks about Bush's daughters as much as they have Keyes' remarks about Cheney's daughter?



No.
Perouka's opinion mattters not.
He is insignificant.

However, the girls consistently disobeyed me, and for their own protection, I relinquished custody to the Department of Social Services.

Wow. This explains a lot about why Peroutka is the way he is. He probably hit the campaign trail to get away from that control freak harridan he's married to.

Call it a hunch, but I think the press will pay almost as much attention to this press release as it does to anything else the Constitution Party does.

They weren't funny. The whole thing was awkward, and I felt tortured.

The girls could have -- and should have -- written their own material. It would have been more natural, and more funny.

I just got in from work but I wanted to respond.

After rhe twins speech, I asked my 25 and 22 year old (sons) what they thought of the twins. Both liked them and said "the oldies" probably won't "get them" -- that they were "spot on" and "uuummmm".

They weren't there on stage for "us oldies" -- if you get my drift....

Cheers

You almost have it correct,...right-wing, christian, extremist, do-gooders on a personal crusade and separate from what Christianity is all about, probably get indignant over that type of publicity. Those who simply remain in fellowship with God through Christ aren't so reactive,..they merely respond in loving kindness.

The national elections influence a very wide swath of body politic. Not all voters are the types who read the political columns.

IMHO, there's plenty of demographics out there which may have related more favorably to Bush by that example of familial influence than watching other past IMPOTUS' family members.

Regardless of politics, it gives me the hibby-jibbies that he calls himself a "Christian". "I'm a sinner" is not a get out of jail free card for evil and illegal actions... And then people are supposed to say, "Oh, alright, I'll vote for you."

Just another reason why I'll be voting GOP even though ideologically I am far closer in alignment to the Constitution party.

Yeah. I took one of those stupid "political alignment" tests, and I came out closest to Peroutka (I was a bit more conservative--heh). Just remember: you can't spell Peroutka without P-E-R-O-T (not my line, but I like it).
