First twins Barbara and Jenna Bush apparently learned little from their scrape last year with Texas lawmen, who were called by the Bush-hating manager at an Austin Tex Mex restaurant who spotted the underage duo ordering Margaritas with fake ID.
They've been luckier this summer but not a whole lot more careful, according to a source at one Arlington, Va., pub not far from the White House.
The bar, Iota's, was carding very thoroughly one recent Thursday night, so the presidential twins' "fake IDs must be sweet," the source tells the magazine Washingtonian Online.
"When a bartender recognized the twins, he took their beers away," the e-zine reports. "But the twins still stuck around."
The Bush girls, who turn legal later this year, reportedly visited the bar with "a pack of pals" to see a folk band called Brown Couch, whose guitarist attends Yale with Barbara.
I don't think you need to worry about that. The only people who even care about this are the Bush haters who will never vote for him anyway and Bush lovers who hate to see anything that might be perceived as negative for him.
Most people will see this for what it is, a non event that if anything makes it easier for ordinary people to relate to the Bush family.
If the Democrats use this in a campaign ad they will run the risk of being perceived as mean and nasty by the general public.
Oh really now...
"The prestige press continues to cover anonymous accounts of the drinking habits of President Bush's daughters, while ignoring actual photos snapped recently showing Chelsea Clinton so drunk that she had to be carried out of a London nightclub."
THE tawdry scene is depressingly familiar. A young woman reels across the dance floor, struggling to keep hold of a glass of vodka in one hand and an equally inebriated young man in the other. Her movements are overtly sexual, if clumsy, her speech slurred above the relentless throb of music. A cluster of ogling men cheers noisily as her top slips momentarily. The girl merely laughs, seemingly insensible as she half-heartedly tries to cover herself. Her escort at last leads her to a dimly-lit corner where they indulge in a crass display of kissing. No one bats an eyelid. This is the favoured playground for students from one of Britain's most respected academic institutions: Oxford University. The nightclub, where pampered twentysomethings buy bottles of Cristal champagne at $300 a pop with their wads of pocket money, caters for British society's young elite. And the woman, who has to be guided to the toilet to be repeatedly sick, is none other than Chelsea Clinton.
Uhhhh....No. If it was anyone else but the Bush daughters, they wouldn't have been recognized in the first place.
The most vital Spanish phrase when you go to Mexico: "Donde esta el banyo..."
Oh yes, shacking up with some dude, and getting publically stumbling drunk all over Europe really is ladylike.

BUSH TWINS ARE OUT ON THE TOWN BUT NOT ON THE WAGON
School’s out, and for the first time since Dad became president, there have been sightings of the First Twins in DC. Barbara and Jenna Bush, 20, have been partaking in the nightlife—and a few beers. One recent Thursday, the twins—who attend Yale and the University of Texas, respectively—were at Iota in Arlington with a pack of pals (a blur of Texas and Florida licenses) to see a folk band called Brown Couch. Band member Brian Smith is a friend of Barbara’s from Yale.
A source reports that Iota’s carding was tough that night, so “their fake IDs must be sweet.” When a bartender recognized the twins, he took their beers away. But the twins still stuck around.
The rest of the pair’s funapparently has been of the nonalcoholic variety. They’ve been spotted at the Sports Club/LA, taking part in Tuesday-night yoga classes with instructor Winnie Au, who practices a grueling version that one student jokingly calls “Gestapo yoga.”
No oneappeared to recognize the twins, who are trying to keep a low profile between their sophomore and junior years of college. And practicing yoga, even if it’s Au’s intense brand, is probably healthier than margaritas.
After a recent yoga class—Jenna clad in a white sports bra and bike shorts, Barbara in green shorts and a black tank top—the duo told friends they were heading to a showing of the racy road-trip movie Y Tu Mamá También.
James O’Brien, owner of Staccato, a piano bar on 18th Street in DC’s Adams Morgan, says Barbara and Jenna “have been here a couple of times,” quickly adding, “They were real good. Didn’t try and get served or anything like that.” It was Brown Couch, again, that drew the twins to Staccato.
Another source spotted them at the Black Cat club on 14th Street, although owner Dante Ferrando says he doesn’t recall seeing them. “It’s totally possible they were here, but I think I would have noticed the Secret Service,” says Ferrando. “I don’t want to get them in trouble.”
The twins have been seen dining at Café Jápone, on P Street, where they ate sushi, did karaoke with friends, and did not imbibe any sake. “I think the blond-haired one likes sushi,” says Sayuri Martinez, who has waited on the twins twice in the past month. “Yes, that one loves sushi. Especially California rolls.” Barbara, says Martinez, prefers chicken teriyaki.
Café Japone owner Kenji Akiho, who once tried to get a very embarrassed Jenna to sing karaoke to Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita,” says he has a photoof himself with the twins and offered to send it to The Washingtonian but then called back to say he decided against it.
“I have a 16-year-old daughter,” says Akiho, adding that he didn’t want the girls to be mad at him. “I know what it is like.”
According to New York magazine, Barbara is in New York City interning with Lela Rose, the fashion designer and longtime family friend who designed the outfits the twins wore to the inauguration.
The White House won’t comment on what either is doing this summer, saying that the twins are private citizens.

They certainly don't seem to care about embarassing their parents.
I'll have another blue chipper please my good man. I bet they paid off their note and got a new roof off of those 25 cent shots they were selling us for 4 months.
Chelsea appears to have been hit at least 10 times with the ugly stick.
As for the Bush girls, they seem incapable of exercising good judgment given their previous run-ins. The sooner they turn 21 the better because frankly they have not impressed me thus far.
LOL..that drunk? Good joke, but perhaps you would be happier over at DU?
Then we have for corroboration a comment that the restaurant owner has a picture taken with them singing karaoke.
Does anyone on this thread ever bother to give the Bush twins the benefit of the doubt? Does anyone think that perhaps there are people who see the twins and make things up, knowing that the Washington papers will print anything they say? Does anyone wonder why Limbacher is consumed with covering stories like this?
That boozy tart? She's been flashing her goodies all over England with her gay boyfriend.
