When it comes to romance, Jenna Bush isn't crossing party lines. The First Twin is dating 26 year-old Bush campaign aide Henry Hager. Hager - the guy snapped nuzzling her neck at an inaugural party - has been escorting Jenna all over Washington, including Georgetown's popular Smith's Point. "They've been dating since August," one source told us, adding that they met through friends and became close during the campaign. "They've definitely gotten hot and heavy," said another Bush pal. Hager's father, John Hager, is a former lieutenant governor of Virginia and was recently appointed assistant secretary of education. The young Hager, an Eagle Scout and graduate of Wake Forest University, worked on his father's political campaigns before pledging allegiance to Bush/Cheney '04 as an aide to Karl Rove. The White House is sticking to its policy of not talking about the twins' personal lives, but one pal confirmed the two were an item. "He's not really doing anything right now - he's studying for the GMAT [the test required for business-school applications]," our source said. Harvard, where President Bush earned his MBA, is on his list.
I've been looking forward to a White House wedding in the second term. A Double wedding would really be something!
Well recently Laura Bush said that the guy Jenna was dating was NOT the one she will marry. Jenna had a ring on at the inauguration and the MSM asked if she was engaged and Laura Bush said "Absolutely Not and the guy Jenna is dating is not the one she will marry". LOL Looks like if there is going to be a marriage the groom will have to pass the Laura Bush inspection!
Go Wake Forest grad ! Oh - disclaimer - I'm one too.
I agree -- a DOUBLE WEDDING. Or,two separate weddings wouldn't be bad either. I long to see photographs of our lovely fist family a a happy occasion in a beautiful setting.
fist = first
With all due respect to Laura Bush, moms are not always right. I have to admit that I raised some objections about one of my daughters-in-law because I thought she was a little young for my PhD son, a different religion, and had not even finished college. I was totally wrong. She is the lovliest woman, terrific wife, and wonderful mother to my grandchildren. I eat crow every time I think about it.
LOL well you are very lucky to have a daughter-in-law like that. I think that's just Laura Bush being a protective mom. Jenna and Barabara are still very immature in their ways and have their whole lives ahead of them and I think Laura is trying to wait until they are settled in their careers for a while before they do the marriage thing.
The last WH wedding was Tricia Nixon was it not? I'd say we are due!
He will have to pass the W's litmus test too. That's the tough one. No one is really good enough for a man's daughter. A son-in-law to be, must first convince dad that he is nothing like him.
I believe the ring was her class ring, not an engagement or promise ring.
Yeesh the media is sooo stupid!
That would be cool. However, I'd have to do a MSM blackout and just read about it on Freep and watch FOX. I don't think I could stand to watch or read all the snide remarks Maureen Dowd or Perky would be making. Course, I pretty much do a MSM blackout, anyway.
LOL I can just see George Bush teasing this guy unmercifully. Oh I would love to see it!
"Oh I would love to see it!"
Me too, but not through the eyes of the suitor.
"The young Hager, an Eagle Scout and graduate of Wake Forest University, worked on his father's political campaigns before pledging allegiance to Bush/Cheney '04 as an aide to Karl Rove."
How nice.
She should cool her gonads and wait until Daddy is out of office.
Remember George Hamilton and Ladybug, er Ladybird, or whatever Johnson's daughter's name was.
This kid has no brains. Does she realize who her father is?? Doesn't she have any sense about behavior in places where she might be photographed?? What about this guy??? WHat kind of jerk is he acting like in publiuc with the President's daughter???
Am I the only person who finds this offensive??
It looks like she should get the Prince Charles - Diana Spencer - Ferggie award for public relations.
It's Lynda Byrd, who ended up marrying Demo Senator Chuck Robb.
