The Younger Gens Bush: Thank God for Family Values

The BBQ Pit
1

I started to post this one a few days ago, but decided- nah, these “kids” are civilians. They aren’t responsible for their parents’ actions. It would be classless to pit them.

But then I had an epiphany (I think that’s what it’s called- it’s when you say “Fuck it, I’ll post this anyway”).

Dubya and his brother, Jeb(ya), are both “champions” and proponents of family values. Dubya saw fit to propose amending the Constitution to prevent gay marriage to “protect the family”. Jeb(ya) prattled on about family values at every given opportunity during the Schiavo incident and of course is a parrot of his brother’s views on the matter. Both brothers then must be super proud of their young 'uns.

The Brothers Bush have, between them, five children. It’s only natural that out of five kids, one might have a wild side, and it’s not even unheard of that one might be arrested for some little incident or other. But isn’t it just a little odd that with the recent arrest of Jeb(ya)'s youngest, ALL FUCKING FIVE OF THE YOUNGER BUSH SPAWN NOW HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS!

In order of birth:

George Prescott Bush (b. 1976)- the family’s golden “little brown” boy, undeniably sexy. He broke into a former girlfriend’s house, vandalized her lawn and assaulted her father. He wasn’t arrested because solely the girl and her father didn’t press charges (the fact he was a president’s grandson from with a rich and powerful family probably having a little bit to do with it), but the event was witnessed and a police report made, so he counts.

Noelle Bush- oh boy- shoplifting, possession of crack cocaine, prescription fraud (she was only arrested on the last one- she got off on the crack charge due to a legal issue).

Barbara Bush II (b. 1981)- minor in possession of alcohol (nothing that serious, I’ll admit, but still illegal, and certainly we’d have heard about how it was the end of society if Chelsea Clinton had done it)

Jenna Bush (b. 1981)- minor in possession of alcohol, use of a fake I.D.

J.E. Bush, Jr. (b.1983)- public intoxication, resisting arrest, and previously having sex in a parking lot.

Okay, none of these things are public enemy lists (ironically I consider Prescott’s to be the most serious since it was the most threatening to another person, yet no charges were made), but… their fathers are Family Values champions, and again- EVERY ONE OF THEIR KIDS HAD A POLICE RUN-IN BEFORE THEY WERE TWENTY-ONE! That’s pretty damned rare.

The Clintons have ONE CHILD, he’s a known adulterer, and the kid’s an honor student.

How can the Bush’s hold their heads up and dare to speak their “I believe the children are our future” crapola? And how do the people who elected them because of their Family Value stances justify this fact? All of these arrests have been public. God knows the talking heads love to point out what scum so many of the Kennedys are (and they are), but when it’s

Ah well, no real point here other than I hate Bushes.

Look, we all know you’re gay already! You don’t have to go on about how you hate bush to prove it to us.

Like many (though not all, certainly) affluent families, the parents have no control over the kids. Either mummy and daddy are too busy with their own lives making money to contribute meaningfully to their children’s or they simply fail utterly as disciplinarians and role models in the attempt to be “friends” rather than parents.

Born with a chip on their collective shoulder and taught from a young age that they are above consequences, these kids get the run of the town. Sad.

Moral weakness skips a generation? :slight_smile:

Maybe Chelsea doesn’t get invited to wild parties because she’s butt ugly. It’s not her fault. :smiley:

5

How do you feel about shrubberies?

6

Tell us how you really feel; don’t hedge.

Yeah, I have thought about starting this very thread a couple of times but never got to it. What gets me about it is, once again, the hypocrisy of the right wing. When it’s the nephew of a liberal Senator who gets in trouble with the law (and is then acquitted of all charges) the right is on it like stink on shit. But when it’s the daughter of an anti-drug crusading governor who’s hitting the pipe, it’s “we must respect the privacy of this family in dealing with this personal matter.”

My only comment is that I think the the characterization of “being named in a police report” is a remarkably lax standard for “having a criminal record.”

But I’ll bookmark this thread for use the next time we’re talking about criminal records in some other context.

With all due respect, I’d do her:

You see, I don’t think Chelsea’s that bad looking either. She definitely had an ugly-duckling stage, but so did Hillary. A lot of good-looking people went through something like that.

Barbara is a beautiful girl, no doubt about it. But Jenna, she looks like a pig in a blanket.

Remember, there are many on the right side of the aisle who think good looks equals “presidential”. I think Ann Coulter once said that liberal women were all ugly. They also smeared a war-veteran because he was “boring”. This is where their priorities are.

Like someone else said, they were spoiled rotten and learned absolutely no responsiblity. Why should they? Dubya can get away with a police record and still does cocaine (watch for coke-jaw during all his speeches, you don’t do that if you’ve cleaned up) - and he’s the damn president! There’s no morals there. They’re all liars.

10

What, exactly, is coke jaw?

11

PinkMarabou, while I’m pretty much in agreement with you regarding the Bush kids, I think they are the product of wealth and privilege rather than their familiy’s ideology – e.g., the Kennedys haven’t exactly raised a bunch of Boy Scouts.

12

Coke jaw is a facial tic that’s associated with cocaine use. Basically the cokehead can’t keep his jaw still.

As long as we’re slagging Bushes with run-ins with the law, there’s Laura’s killing a guy with her car. And the rumors that Dubya did court-ordered community service in Houston in 1972 in relation to drug charges.

13

I have now seen the light.

The entire Kennedy legacy is irretrievably tainted because of the shenanigans of family members. Let’s not waste time talking policy when we can rag on the kiddies.

No foolin’.

14

Limiting the Kennedys to the offspring of JFK, RFK and Teddy (since at the moment we’re only talking about the Bush children):

JFK: Caroline; John Jr.; Patrick
RFK: Kathleen; Joseph; Robert; David; Courtney; Michael; Kerry; Christopher; Matthew; Douglas; Rory
Teddy: Kara; Edward Jr.; Patrick; Curran (step); Caroline (step)

Out of the 19 Kennedy offspring, what percentage of them have arrest records? For the Bush children, it’s 80%.

15

Ya know, slander is a prosecutable offense. You have something more substantial than an observation posted in a blog on which you’re basing your remark - right?

16

And, uh, in re-reading this I realize it reads a bit like I’m calling Dubya a cokehead. I’m not, in this instance. I meant that a random cokehead exhibiting coke jaw can’t keep his jaw still.

17

Chelsea, Hilary, Barbara II, or Jen- I think they’re all hot.
and I’m Right-wing C’tian libertarian.

18

But what the hell, as long as we’re making wild accusations . . .

It wasn’t the right that elected JFK, was it? His “good looks” (and a spurious ballot count in Chicagoland) are what fueled JFK’s ride to the Oval Office over RMH in 1960.

I’m just wondering why all the google ads at the bottom are for security related things. :confused:

Buy anyways, hypocrisy is sometihng that is hard to avoid, and it seems doubly so for the conservative right. I mean, we must protect all life, life is sacrd, no abortions. Yet…we can easily have state and federal mandated killings. :confused: It’s along the same lines of “family values are important,” yet all my kids are running wild and I can’t stop them. Nice family values, there, W. Oh, wait, it’s all those evil sodomites influencing your precious little angles to do bad things. Which is why we need constitutional amendments, and what have you. Suuuuuuuuure.

Sometimes Jenna looks good to me, but usually, her face looks as a wide as a stopsign. That’s not a good look.
