This is one of the nastiest columns I've ever read, even for Kinsley.

He does get one thing right though ... He says, "So it would appear that George W. Bush's daughters are not Amy Carter or Chelsea Clinton or Karenna Gore. So what? Are you surprised?"

No, Barbara and Jenna bear no resemblance to the above mentioned daughters...thanks be to God!

"But no amount of eloquence can overcome the bald contrast between that rhetoric and how his own family lives. His daughters are over 21, and he can't control them, but that doesn't let them off the hook. They are now independent moral actors, and their situation requires that they either publicly oppose their father's war or do something to support it. Is it unfair to expect Jenna and Barbara to shape their lives around their father's folly? Of course it's unfair. If this is war, then unfairness comes with the territory."


Yes, Michael, I sure do remember all that public opposition (or was it support?), by college-age Chelsea with respect to Bubba's war in Kosovo.

Flaming libbie hypocrite.

Kinsley wrote a similar article for The Guardian's "Comment is Free" page a couple of days ago. He was thrashed by nearly every one of the commenters -- including the leftists.

Liberals are unaduterated evil; however, Bush and the Rep. House have been the weak spot in conservative armor which allowed socialism to again reign in American government.

The 2008 election isn't looking good for America, either. I fully expect the Republicants to nominate McCain as a means to win an election, rather than doing what is best for the United States.

It is not the fault of Jenna or Barbara Bush that their father, the president, has gotten us into a war that he doesn't know how to get us out of.ANyone who reads this sentence more than once ought seriously to consider whether he or she has binnge/purge syndrome. This is a FABulous emetic! I guess Kinsley has found his life's calling: making people sick.

It's too bad neither of the Bush girls were able to get a 6 figure job right out of college working for one of their mom and dad's friends, or take up a cause like the anti-makeup and hair stlying cause Amy Carter has followed faithfully.

If this is War, Kinsley is treasonous. And the consequences should be completely fair.

My goodness, his name should be Michael Snidely.

And by the way, fella, you were wrong about Viet Nam.

Amy offered Jimmy Carter advice on nuclear weapons control.....

Chelsea was concerned that we wouldn't be able to afford rebuilding the World Trade Center 'with those Bush tax cuts'....

Karenna Gore is beneath commenting upon....

I don't want to read anything by kinsley. From the title, I thought the article might be about old man kennedy and his criminal behavior, and how all his sons are now dead or hopeless bums.
As for kinsley, the less said the better.

Michael Kinsley channeling Maureen Dowd. I thought only she could write such vitriol about the Bush family. What makes these RAT/lib/socialists so vile?

Chelsea Clinton's resume: After partying through her Rhodes Scholarship in England, she returned to a stint at the McKinsey group (hires kids to be "consultants" to corporations, whatever that means) and now will be employed at a hedge fund run by one of her mother's campaign contributors. Wow, am I impressed!!

He's right. The Bush twins are good-looking.
