I actually laughed out loud at the 'Sex in the City' joke....

So did their grandmother.

I didn't think it was too great. Very sophmoric and the girls had no comedic timing. If you can't do jokes, don't try. I know what the Republicans were trying to do get the young MTV crowd but I think it made the girls look like the party image they truly have.

At least they were with friends...

If they would have tried that during the MTV awards, they would have had eggs tossed at them.

Did you hear what Chris Wallace on FoxNews had to say about Barbara and Jenna? He loved their speech! I did as well. I found it refreshing, unlike the Kerry daughters scripted hampster story fiasco.

yeah?

We don't have cable anymore, and when the national public station was throwing amber alerts up here in INdy, hubby flipped to (oh gag me) NBC.

Tom Brokaw was sitting there talking to tim russert...tearing apart the events of the evening in that kind of make a semi-positive comment about something, then immediately give a VERY NEGATIVE statement about it that the networks use against conservatives all the time...Tim said something about Laura justifying the war in Iraq and that America will win it and TOM SAID...'IT MUST BE SAID HERE THAT PRESIDENT BUSH SAID THE WAR ON IRAQ CANNOT BE WON

EXCUSE ME! BUT HUH???????

BIG LIE

MAJOR TWIST

BIG DISTORTION

WRONG!

President Bush said to matt lauer that the WAR ON TERROR cannot be won....(NOT the war on IRAQ), that there will be no surrender involving sitting around a table with formal papers on hand, we are not fighting a nation, or nations, we are fighting groups of people....

The WAR ON IRAQ-to remove SADDAM is finished in that regard. The clean-up, that will take YEARS as democracy slowly takes root, is what we are doing there now MY words)

When talk of the twins came up....they spoke of the comment of the twins and their grandmother-the sex in the city stuff-as rather a surprise for a republican group (tommy brokaw, spinmaster said this) then followed up by saying, ' OF COURSE, the speech was written for the girls by a professional speech writer)

I dispise him.

Of course their speech was either edited, written for and then edited by the girls, or maybe even written for them.....but WHY SAY THAT?

He said it to make sure anything that might have struck a human cord with the audience was diminished.

Good job Tom...your bias is as HEALTHY AS EVER.

They .... managed to talk to the 18-21 year olds out there to show that they are just like other American families.

Well, I don't know. I'm too old and my kids are too young for that age group.

Do 18-21 year olds today still use the word "hip"?

At that point, I turned the sound off. To me, it sounded like a bad delivery of a speech written by a 45 year old speechwriter pretending to be 21.

It occurred to me earlier tonight that God doesn't have to be bothered with this; there are plenty of the sanctimonious around -- just on this site -- to get the job done.

:-)

Kerry is tanking, as someone said here a moment ago. That explains it all. CNN won't touch that with a ten foot pole for a while, until and unless somebody releases his internal polling numbers which have probably sunk to single digits.

They've been deliberately kept separate from the political scene in an attempt to give them a normal life of their own. Their performance was, frankly, what you might expect from a pair of recent college graduates who don't have a clue about real life yet even if their dad is the President of the United States.

You can add FoxNews to the trashing, albeit done in a more civil way.
Fred Barnes said something to the effect that it was unfortunate that the twins AND Laura had to follow Arnold. Also, that the twins should not look for a job as comedians.

Mort Kondrake thought they were "ditses". Mara Liason thought they came across as dimwitted giggling teenagers.

Bill Kristol thought that the twins and Laura hurt the Bush momentum tonight.

Just the messenger folks!

However, I believe that all will be forgotten by the end of tomorrow nights festivities. Let DU have their low life fun at the expense of innocent teenage girls and a very classy Laura Bush. By next week the bump should be growing.


Were the FOX-gurus watching the same TV from MSG??? Because all panel members on Jim Lehrer's PBS coverage said about the Arnold and Laura speeches they were "brilliant."
Now this coming from all these "libs" mouthpieces, that means they were fantastic. They did not knock down the twins!!!

Oh my freeking god! I can't believe a presodential candidates daughter would do that. No, I wouldn't want Bush's daughters to do that of course. That pic of Kerry's daughter is just disgusting!

They had no "finesse." They were silly. Their jokes were "lame." Their words certainly weren't scripted by others for them to read.

They reminded me of my 19 year old daughter (at times) and some of her friends.

In other words, they reminded me of normal young ladies who are inexperienced, tend to say what they think, and haven't been groomed to be phonies.

What a tribute to the Bush family that their children have been brought up to be normal and not act like entitled snobs from Massachusetts who condescendingly shush an audience. : )

"I wonder who wrote the twins' remarks. It's a shame they reinforced their frivolous reputation. I'm sure they don't want to be thought of as airheads."

Why do you think they were "airheads".
First of all, the giggling was completely done out of nervousness, couldn't you tell they were scared to be there?
They just made some light hearted remarks about their family and then ended by saying their parents taught them well and that they loved them.
Big Deal!

Why would FOX commentators try to compare them to the Kerry sisters.
One of the Kerry sisters is 30 the other one is damn near 30, they should be more polished at that age than at 22.
