DNC Targets Bush's Daughters

DNC Targets Bush's Daughters
Anyone who still thinks Kedwards' invocation of Mary Cheney in the debates was innocent should consider what Ben Johnson, deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee, had to say about President Bush's daughters in a radio debate with conservative commentator Armstrong Williams this morning. The subject was the possibility of black Americans voting for Bush over moral issues like abortion and same-sex marriage:

No one has a monopoly on morality in this country. And if you want to talk about morality, I mean, look at George Bush's daughters. If he was such a heck of a father, why couldn't he keep those girls from drinking?

An MP3 audio clip from the program, which was hosted by Karen Hunter and Steve Malzberg and aired on WWRL-AM, "New York's Urban Talk," is here.

Ummmmm, I think that the majority of teenagers can remember "a couple" ;^) of times they got a tad inebriated. That is just plain DUMB!
How about the outfit Kerry's daughter showed up in at that film festival??? At least W's daughters dress like ladies, not like X-rated movie participants(sorry, can't call them actors).

I guess Dimocrats have never been young and they never did anything their parents didn't want them to do. That must be why they are so bitter and angry.

"...When did Barbara become so smoking hot?..."

Two answers:
1. When she entered the White House as First Lady

and

2. When Lurchenstein's wife was there to be compared to.

They were over 18 years old jerkoff, and they didn't live with him.

Um, ok. Anyway, growing up in TX primarily, I can recall the TX ABC routinely “stinging” convenience stores and bars/lounges. It wasn’t necessarily an offense (though usually was unless you were the underage person working with the ABC) to be underage and in possession, but it did violate the law WRT the liquor license holder that sold or served it to them. IOW, it was their *responsibility* to insure that they were not selling to underage people, fake ID or not.

I’m wondering about the Mexican restaurant and their liquor license status and whether they’re still in business. This is what he’s referring to? Or is this just another example of Gentleman George and his “Let’s get along” mentality… I just bring it up because he wasn’t really greased lightning WRT the White House vandalism, etc.

There is quite a difference from teens drinking at a party and a woman whose husband is running for President and shows up at public apearances SMASHED OUT OF HER MIND!!

Have you gotten that impression also? Hahaha!!! Every time I see her I can't help but notice that she ALWAYS looks three sheets to the wind! I mean ALWAYS!! I pointed it out to my mother the other day, and she agreed. She said, "She looks like a drunk old hag."

What the hell is immoral about drinking?

Not only were they drinking. They were also breathing.
