The Kerry daughter said her dad gave her hamster mouth to mouth to save him. The Bush girls implied their dad didn't go that far with theirs and it died.
They why are some people ranting about how "hot" they are?
yes! thats disgusting. please refrain from that trash.
everybody knows a koz. sandwich is much better :)
Given GW's occational speech issues, perhaps they should take a family trip over to Ireland, lean over backwards, and give that Blarney Stone a nice long kiss!
Most people fear speaking in public more than going to the dentist.
No one's going to vote for President Bush based on his daughters' view of their father. The Big Star Of The Night was Arnold. The kids were filler and their Mother gave a good speech but it didn't bring the house down.
Every move in this convention is crafted to pull potential Kerry voters to Bush. The girls were magnificent!! "We're not very political, but we love our dad. . ." Perfect!!!!!
My son just explained , you know how you have to shake those pictures to dry them.. I think we gained lots of new young voters tonight.
I couldn't wade through more than the first few silly remarks. Embarrassing isn't the word. I suspected they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a podium for another fifteen years or so, and I was right. They're still just kids, despite graduation from college. When they achieve maturity, they'll probably have a few things to say about this performance.
You know I just DON'T GET this bashing of the President's daughters? They provided light commentary for the sake of humor.
They are lovely YOUNG women and if it isn't to your liking maybe you should vote for the father that allows his child to wear a see threw dress!
I personally was moved by that speech of theirs they love there dad a great deal.
Let's put it this way: no one will ever look on G.W Bush as a dork - not after tonight.
Not me!
But then, if I kissed the Blarney Stone, you'd never shut me up! *LOL*
I already speak in my sleep!
No wonder I'm 32, and unmarried! *LOL*
As a 47 year old happily married father with two boys 20 and 15, I thought they hit the mark. It's nice to see a non-dysfunctional family that love and respect each other over multiple generations, and that are real and have fun.
the crotchety lifeless hulls on this thread need to get a life!
well done to the Bush girls!!!!!
Yeah.
I realize Kerry's daughter is older and more experienced.
I think maybe they needed to practice more. And act like adults.
Me and dk88 were. :)
Yeah....and a BIG contrast to the Kerry "girls"....last I heard were booed off at the MTV awards show....there is justice...
No
Rush has always said that callers are there to make him look good. IMO, the speakers are at the convention to make Pres. Bush look good.
I didn't see it, just reading the text.
Sounds like the jokes could have been left out or either better jokes used.
(Why slightly ridicule your parents and grandparents?)
I can't stand all the pandering to young people's expectations of "cool."
Otherwise their comments seemed ok.
Personally, I didn't think the Kerry girls gave that good a speech either, the hamster story was rather silly, imo.
Perhaps you should go back to whatever lib site you usually post on because your vicious attacks on the 43's daughters and 41's grand daughters are quite telling.
I don't mean to mean, but, I had to leave the room. I thought the jokes were terrible, tacky, and extremely disrespectful of their grandma. I understand that the purpose of their presence was to reach the younger generation, but it could have been done with a little more class.
Flame away.
