White House Asks Media to 'Show Respect' to Bush Twins

White House Asks Media to "Show Respect" to Bush Twins

The White House asked the media on Monday to "show respect" for President Bush's twin daughters as they emerge from private life as students to work for their father's re-election campaign.
There has sometimes been tension between Bush and the media over coverage of his daughters, Jenna and Barbara, especially when both of them had run-ins with the law over alcohol three years ago.
In an incident in Austin, Texas, in 2001, Barbara was sentenced to perform community service and attend an alcohol awareness class, while Jenna, who had been found with a false ID, was fine $600 and lost her driver's license for 30 days.
"We hope that the media will continue to show respect for the daughters and allow them to go about their lives... and recognize that they are the president's daughters," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
(...)
"The daughters have ... expressed a strong interest in helping the president on his reelection. And I know that the president very much appreciates that," McClellan said.

We'll give them just as much respect as they showed Chelsea. That ought to be enough, right?

Bush would blow his top if they gave either of the twins even a fraction of the Tabloid blitz that Chelsea has endured.

I hope the press hammers them.

The whore press can't get enough of the Clintons.

These are adults we are talking about now, not kids in high school. They want responsibilities? There are consequences for actions.

Oh, forgot. It's the Bush* twins we're talking about.

so stay away from the Twins, you eeeevil Lib'rul Media!

rush attacked Chelsea, turnabout is fair play.

pity is more like what they have earned.

And if they're hitting the campaign trail for Daddy Dearest, they're fair game, just like anyone else in the political arena.

Boy, the Republicans sure like to dish it out, but they hate to take it, don't they?

So if Bush doesn't like it too damn bad. Of course free press is an alien term to Bush.

They should know that when you hang out with the likes of their daddy, you'll get a bad name!

caveat: their faces should be rubbed in the fact that they did not afford the same respect to Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton.

kids should be off limits.

I'm happy to respect that, but of course they don't.

That's because they are scumeating pigfuckers.

going to be doing lots of media work for their dad. Now if they choose to go before the media, then they get what they deserve. They shouldn't be able to have their cake and eat it too.

nobody does

little brats they would deserve some respect?

Two grown women graduated from college can't fend for themselves in a bought-and-paid-for media? "The Whitehouse" asks its friends to lay off even more while they whore for daddy? Give me a break.

:)

on the campaign trail I imagine that they'll remain out of the media spotlight.

First time they've ASKED for anything from the media vis-a-vis giving orders and threats to the right-wing bootlicker press.

Think they know the blood's in the water? You betcha. After Rush Phlegmball did that little stunt about the White House Dog (note: Chelsea was 13 at the time), they little realized what a hideous precedent they had set for themselves. Treat others as you would be treated. Hmm, that's a Christian concept, isn't it? Oh, that's right, these are the people who think that the Golden Rule is "whoever has the gold makes the rules."

Frankly, I hope the two ADULT daughters of * get all the attention they deserve: zero, except the obvious observation that they are truly their father's children: identified as the boozing, mediocre, barely competent scions of a mediocre, ideologue president no one really wanted and no one could get rid of fast enough.

Mac in Ga

How about moonings like their dear old dad gets in Europe?

And the falling down drunk.

Brain rotting alcoholics! He must be SO proud!

This has become SOP for these repukes:

They'll have no qualms ripping the trachea out of your throat....
then turn around and ask for kinder, gentler compassionate behavior.

Deceptive pack of liars and shame on anyone who falls for their shit again. I'll not rest till they are history, full bore ahead I say, they're all fair game.

"...magazine and then work at Bush's campaign headquarters in the Washington suburbs."

Yup, looks like they'll be qualified to work in his campaign office.

:eyes:

Just like dad: all show, no go.

Wouldn't that be funny?

No mercy. No quarter.

These pampered little ninnies stand to benefit greatly from the BFEE's ill-gotten gains. The whole damn corrupt family can go to hell.

gawd!

Bob Stevens died of a mysterious case of anthrax. He worked as a photo editor for American Media, who owns the National Enquirer. The Bush family suffered immense embarrassment at the hands of the Enquire when they published a photo of daughter Jenna, obviously drunk, cigarette in hand, cavorting on the floor with another drunken female. Stevens was the first person in 25 years in the US to die of the inhaled form of anthrax. This was a very high-grade military anthrax traced back to a Pentagon lab.

and when their own are on the hot seat...They Beg for Mercy!

yeah, tell it to our dead soldiers families and the Iraqi civilians!

But, I've said that before.

Neo-cons breed like rats.

Zero, zip, zilch, nada.

daughter, think they deserve "respect" for the bush children? Remember the story spread by the bush thugs during the 2000 election alleging McCain had an illegitimate black child?

Honest to God, these people are the most appalling hypocrites.

about what a ridiculous double standard this is. He said Bush can interfere with people's privacy and propose a Constitutional amendment against gays and also interfere with stem cell research, then he has the nerve to tell the media not to talk about them when they are adults who are going to campaign for him?

He also said he would talk about the Bush daughters everyday, but they are too boring to talk about.
