Jenna Bush's marries in low-brow affair at ranch
By DEB RIECHMANN

Associated Press Writer

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Jenna Bush couldn't see herself getting married at the White House surrounded by antique furniture and oil portraits of presidents. She and Henry Hager said "I do" Saturday at President Bush's ranch in Crawford where the corn is thigh-high, roads are named Cattle Drive and the Texas flag is painted on the rooftops of barns.

The president and the bride picked "You Are So Beautiful" for their father-daughter dance, according to band leader Tyrone Smith of Nashville, Tenn. Smith and his 10-piece party band, The Tyrone Smith Revue, was asked to do "Lovin' in My Baby's Eyes" by Taj Mahal for the newlyweds' first dance. Smith, who promised the couple a "get down" party, talked to The Associated Press earlier in the week on condition that the information not be released before the wedding.

2. Why is this in GD?
Why does this matter? Why is it important. Why is this the fifth thread about a stupid wedding?

9. Probably belongs in the lounge...
It's just crap that shouldn't rate the attention. It's a fucking wedding...that's all.

Seems like Jenna's wedding is getting more attention than Burma.

17. I thought you might have one going since
you're upset that the wedding is getting more attention than the cyclone in Burma. So rather than talk about the wedding, or the coverage of it and the lack of coverage of the cyclone, you might have started a thread. Guess not. My bad.

19. I think it's retarded for there to be five or six threads on a stupid wedding...
unless it's in the lounge. That's all.

I'm not sure why you think I'm trying to plug my own thread when there are other perfectly good ones that could use some K&R's. I even saw one about illegal child labor that deserved some attention...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3268254

I just think things like this, the Iraq War, Myanmar and the corrupt govt. we're living under are a little more serious than some wedding. But if you think this thing is worthy of discussion...go right ahead.

Just like everyone else here at DU...I am expressing my opinion. :)

21. I didn't accuse you of plugging a thread.
I just thought since you're upset about the alleged lack of attention on the situation in Burma that you'd give it some attention. That's all.

Also, I don't see much "discussion" about the wedding. Mostly jokes, mocking, etc. Seems good to me. And you're still here. ;)

22. I think my esteemed colleague is pointing out
that if you don't want to talk about Jena's wedding, you should post a thread on a different, more elevating subject,

or else, STF...

Just spelling it out...

56. The Lounge has had one thread about the wedding since Friday afternoon
and it died of loneliness after about 45 minutes.

It would seem that your brand of "retardation" is far more common to GD.

Right after that you lost me because that sorta image makes me lose my supper.

20. The twins were angry at Bush for running for President
because they knew they would have very little privacy. Bad enough when he was governor. But like Texas we can't wait to get rid of him to baseball or growing corn in Paraguay.

46. I Believe That
They were sending clear signals when they kept going into underage bars, IMO. Howard Dean's kid did the same thing. It may have been totally subconscious, but the fact remains that if one of your parents is running for POTUS, it's just not a good idea to pull the stuff they pulled.

Edited on Sun May-11-08 01:14 AM by mtf80123
No matter how much they spend... they are still Trash. After all, they trashed our country, our people, our security and our integrity!

Fuck em.

Once "WE" Dems sweep the country, then we can bring their whole crime family to justice... along with all of their enablers.

Pull these SOB's down to destitution and imprison them. The whole lot of them.

Thank goodness Obama said he will immediately investigate the Bush Admin once he is inaugurated.

Time to "wright the ship".

40. Point of Order man...
Bush is fair game -- but his kids aren't. They can't help it if their father is a traitor.

Fuck with Bush all you want -- lay off the kids; (unlike Dad) they didn't shred the Constitution.

41. did you rebuke the ones going after chelsea? did you criticize shuster for
his "pimping her out" comment? unless you did, you have nothing to say about people commenting on gin and tonic.

do you remember then praising their father's reign during the 2004 campaign? they aren't staying out of the process, so we don't have to lay off the grown up children of the traitor.

Edited on Mon May-12-08 12:37 AM by Zevon fan
Politicians who took impeachment off the table? Elitist Ruling Class(not sure about the exact term to use here)? Those who voted for him? US tax payers? Military men and women? Anyone who didn't take to the streets? Countries which continue to trade with the US for their own profit?

Just curious as to where that line is drawn.. Although, I suppose different people draw that line at different places.

47. Unless I'm "missing it", there is not
even ONE frontal shot of Jenna. What does the front of that dress look like anyway?

Big swastika or something embroidered on the front or a "hookem horns"?

Just wondering? :shrug:

They're all shots of Jenna's left side (except for one of her & Henry at the granite cross thingy, which is a right side shot)
