I agree. And they didn't need to do a terrible stand up routine either. If they're not ready for prime time, then put them on in the afternoon, or let them simply introduce their mother. Is it helpful their comment about their dad running for reelection because he needs something to do the next 4 years???
I'm sorry but I don't know what that means. Anyone care to let me in on this?
They were probably very nervous. In comparison, John Edwards' daughter did a good job with her speech, maybe it would have been better if the twins tried to be a little more serious.
And that's after the parents dropped, what, $160,000 or more on their Yale education?
Were they really awful? Someone probably thought up a lot of the things for them to say --- to me it looks like one-liners to be fun and light --- and what could you expect of the poor girls who would likely be very nervous up on a stage like that for the first time. They've been sheltered from cameras and microphones all this time.
What did the comment about the hamster mean? I've been living on the Left coast too long so immediately Richard Gere came to mind but I'm sure this was not the context. Could someone please explain this joke to me?
The voice of reason, finally!
I remember shaking polaroid pictures to try and get them to dry quicker. Perhaps that's what they meant.
They're not running for office. In a serious convention, it seemed appropriate to lighten up things for a few minutes. They really made their Dad & Mom look good. They were raised well. I don't think they're going to follow their parents' footsteps but they were loving and supportive. Whether they got the MTV vote for their Father, well that remains to be seen.
Refers to the song, "Hey Ya" by Outkast. Means to shake your body (dance).
Their timing was horrible, their slams at grandma (and dad) were kind of a shocker, but laughing at their bad jokes not because of the content, and watching them was hilarious, and very light hearted.
DK88 again declares - Hotties both of 'em. Rrrrowww.
I thought *they* looked comfortable enough, given the situation... and the considerable pressure.
Perhaps it's a matter of expectations. I wasn't expecting them to come up with any earthshattering oratory. I expected a couple of giggling 22 year old kids.
I was just kidding about the polls. I know better than to think this will matter. It was hard to watch after Arnold, though.
Its from a song.
Stop making excuses for bad behavior. They are college graduates & far from children. There are "children" older than them over in Afghanistan & Iraq fighting for our freedom in much more severe circumstances.
They did exceedingly well given there circumstance.
What circumstance? They are the Ivy League educated daughters of the President of the United States. Under these circumstances, they should get some class.
