First-daughter Jenna Bush has tongues wagging -- and it started with her own.
President Bush's twin daughters Jenna and Barbara are campaigning with their father. Yesterday, during a stop in St. Louis, Jenna Bush stuck her tongue out at the media. She was sitting in the back seat of the presidential limo next to her father. The 22-year-old graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, started smiling through the window at reporters and photographers and that is when she stuck out her tongue and began to laugh. Before their first campaign swing with dad, first lady Laura Bush says she told her daughters to stand up straight and keep their hair out of their eyes. But Mrs. Bush apparently skipped the tongue thing.

the hypocracy issue is relevent since it seems everyone gets up in arms about the news making a fuss over what happens to republican family members, but alas not a peep when it happens to democrats family members.
>>>all reality you know that the press making a big deal out of Jenna Bush's "out-stuck tongue" <<
did I say otherwise?
>>>NONE of it really matters. And don't forget...two wrongs don't make a right...at least not in my universe. <<
In MY BOOK neither side should be the target of demonizing and negative attention, but hey it seems in others books it is OKAY when it the other side getting it. so you are right, two wrongs don't make a right, maybe you should tell that to those who feel no compunction in demonizing kerrys wife, or calling 13 year old girls dogs.
by the way, attack the content of the post, not the poster for expressing their opinion.
Your point is moot as far as I'm concerned because I agreed at the stupitidy of Jenna Bush's tongue being something important enough to report on the news. I did not say that personally attacking dems is ok while off limits for Repubs. And that is my very true, and valid point.

did I say otherwise?"
No, but did I ever question the wrongness of other personal issues being splattered all over the news? No, I most certainly did not.
"maybe you should tell that to those who feel no compunction in demonizing kerrys wife, or calling 13 year old girls dogs."
It's done because of things just like this thread...it impassions people one way or another and the reporters have hit their mark. Stop getting up in arms about what Limbaugh said about Chelsea and if enough people follow suit, he'll fail to create controversy and will not have a job any longer.
"by the way, attack the content of the post, not the poster for expressing their opinion. "
I didn't attack you. From where you got that idea is elusive to me.
And you are entitled to your opinion, and in fact I agree with it. However my opinion that it is interesting to see how some people (not referring to you ) will jump hoops to defend the actions of republicans and their families and yet don't mind seeing others demonized who do the same or less smacks of hypocracy.
As for critisizing me bringing up my opinion that doesn't fit exactly with the thread title, well that is the way it goes on a message board, discussions often evolve into sub threads and related issues.

pointing out something that is relevent to showing that chelsea was also the target of negative media attention is hardly getting up in arms.
I guess I should not have used the word YOU when I made this statement:
"I guess you are forgetting the attempts to make anything chelsea clinton did, say or wear as newsworthy, why attempts in the media were made to discredit her."
I should have said I guess people are forgetting. sorry but I was not really directing that statement at you personally, I was speaking in general.

I think that sort of thing (Mrs. Kerry and her apparent money making/investing abilities) is brought up because a lot of conservative men are threatened by women who don't adhere to "traditional" roles (you know..."me provide, make money, you clean, make babies"). I think that they (being the ultra conservative men who have a little too much machismo) are afraid to elect a man who is comfortable with his wife being the primary financial provider. Maybe they think if they elect a "man like that" the rest of the country's going to hell in a handbasket....("next thing ya know, they'll be letting women in the military!! *tongue in cheek*)
Just an observation of the possibility of why Mrs. Kerry has somehow gotten dragged into the fray.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW!
I would be happy to, as long as I see you defending the Laura Bush and her daughters when they are getting attacked as they were in this post. The political fight is between the politicians and I think sometimes people get so involved in the attacking (both sides mind you) that they forget who is actually running for office.
