Jenna Bush is stepping out. We didn't even know she was coming.
I first saw her at our stop at the Fann Hospital for HIV/AIDS patients in Dakar, Senegal. She was with her mother, the first lady, getting a tour of the garden that provides the hospital's patients with vegetables.
I had never really seen her close up. The only time I saw her in public was leaving the White House to board Marine One with her parents.
I had heard the party-girl reports, and saw the infamous picture of her playfully sticking her tongue out at the White House press corps from inside the limo, but I, like most of the press corps, stayed clear of her, as her parents had requested.
Now Jenna has grabbed the international spotlight accompanying her mother on their second trip to Africa. In the fall, Jenna will launch a book tour to promote "Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope," about a 17-year-old Panamanian girl living with HIV-AIDS. Jenna met her while working for UNICEF in Latin America.
...
The boy stood up and started talking in Portuguese about why he liked the hospital. The room fell silent. When he finished, Jenna rewarded his bravery with a warm pat on the back.
He was the first of many children who Jenna befriended in her new role as public ambassador, a role she seemed to fit into with ease and sincerity.

I can't imagine that Malveaux filed this report voluntarily. Too positive.

I can't bring myself to read this story. Instead I'll quote our good brother Jesse Jackson from the 2000 Democratic convention: "I say, America, stay out the Bushes. Stay out the Bushes. Stay out the Bushes. Stay out the Bushes. Stay out."

Ok, everybody. Be nice :)
The People won; let us try to be gracious to those who lost AKA the Masters of the Universe (as Sen. Sessions called them).

I like the Bush daughters. They get nuts at times like all women do when their father is the President. Where's Barbara? She is the quiet, sneaky looking one. I hope Jenna got those 11 inoculations before she went over there to help out.

It’s amazing how the BDS oozes through even in a feel good piece about the First Lady and her daughter.

I put this down like Hillary and her daughter touring Africa.
They are wrong to go there and give away newly printed money!

I second that. Sounds like someone has been over at the DU. Even conservatives who don't like Bush right now don't bother to use the DU-ism "chimpy".
Pretty stale.
There certainly has been an uptick of Dems posing as GOP'er lately. They know they have us on the ropes lately and are doing their best to promote infighting.
I guess most of the Republicans on this board have forgotten the Reagan Commandment.
To: Woodman
Yep. Amazing, isn’t it?
I may disagree, even vehemently with various policies the President supports, but usually one doesn’t make the jump to “chimp” or “bushitler” without having been there already.

but i just felt the need to come clean...No, it didn't work. You still smell like a DUmmie. No FReeper ever uses that term no matter how disenchanted we may become with the president.

Isn’t that great. Now the Aids/HIV concern has become a family project, GWB pledges $30B TAXPAYER $$’s AFRA-CURSE, so Jenna can get a LIFE!
Just like all our Masters they are wrong to go there and give away newly printed money!

Maybe it is because Jenna wrote this trashy book and her daddy fought in frenzy for amnesty.

I can't imagine that Malveaux filed this report voluntarily. Too positive. It was filed only because the word "steal" and "Bush" could be used in the same sentence............
