Jenna BushUpdated: WaPo Writer/Singer Can't Report on Jenna Bush's NBC Gig Without the Words 'Bar-Hopping and Boozing''
UPDATE: Moyer actually performs as a musician under the name "Edie Sedgwick." A Post music critic explained: "Sedgwick is actually Antelope singer-guitarist (and Washington Post employee) Justin Moyer, recording under the name of the 1960s Andy Warhol 'superstar.' He's still singing about movie actors, but his latest songs include ones named for President Bush and 'March of the Penguins.'" That would be the song "Bambi/George W. Bush." The Edie Sedgwick website suggests these lyrics: Jenna's Wedding: An Excuse for Cheap Media Shots at Her, and Her FatherI noted a few weeks ago (at BizzyBlog; at NewsBusters) that Mike Celizic at MSNBC couldn't get though his article about Jenna Bush's upcoming wedding without bringing up her misdemeanor arrests from seven years ago. Julie Mason of the Houston Chronicle also went there in a late Thursday report. She also threw in a number of shots at Jenna's father, his administration, and his hometown:
Even in Puff Piece, Today Article Brings Up Bush Twin's 2001 Law BrushesSo I'm reading what is supposed to be a puff piece by Mike Celizic in the Today Show section at MSNBC about Jenna Bush's upcoming wedding to Henry Hager on May 10. It seems to do a serviceable job of describing their upcoming nuptials, what the attendants will wear, where it will be (an informal affair at the Bush family Crawford, Texas ranch), where they met, where he proposed. All nice stuff. It's only slightly annoying that a picture caption at the article reads, "Jenna Bush, 25, and her fiance Henry Hager are scheduled to be married on May 10 in Texas." Cold feet on the part of the bride or the groom is always a possibility, but "will be married" seems more appropriate. But really, not a big deal. But towards the end, Celizic drops in this:
Pimp Gate Update: MSNBC's Ethics Don’t Extend to Bush TwinsAs NewsBusters has been reporting, MSNBC's reaction to David Shuster's "pimped out" Chelsea Clinton comment is an extraordinary example of the double standard that exists at this admittedly left-leaning cable network. In fact, the goings-on since Shuster first made this remark last Thursday make it crystal clear that potentially insensitive comments directed at the Clinton family are thoroughly verboten by MSNBC, whereas derogatory statements concerning President George W. Bush are highly encouraged. As another example of this hypocrisy, consider the following disgraceful report concerning Bush's twin daughters aired on MSNBC's "Countdown" November 28, 2006 (h/t NBer Grammy): Jenna Bush Calls Her Dad While on 'Ellen'
Here's something you don't see every day: the daughter of the President calling her dad while doing an interview on national television. Yet, that's what happened on "Ellen" Wednesday (taped Tuesday) when host Ellen Degeneres didn't believe guest Jenna Bush could just pick up the phone and call her dad any time she wanted. Marvelously, Jenna ended up being right. What follows is the partial transcript of this absolutely charming phone call (video available here): Time's Tired Trope to Jenna Bush: Why Aren't You in Iraq?Time's "Ten Questions" interview feature is offered to presidential daughter Jenna Bush this week. The questions are now selected from reader questions, including (sigh) Bush-whacking liberals from San Francisco:
Liberals love the question, hate the answer. AP Scolds Jenna Bush for 'Ducking Iraq' Questions
Liberal Blog Finds Scandal In Jenna Bush EngagementUpdate below (11:26): ThinkProgress responds. (h/t Ace) NonPartyPolitics has picked up on how the liberal ThinkProgress blog smells something fishy in presidential daughter Jenna Bush's engagement to beau Henry Hager. Basically the lefty blog suggests that first lady Laura Bush lied to the press -- in 2005. That's right, there's got to be something sinister and mendacious in Laura Bush's 2005 prediction that Jenna and Henry were "not serious." I mean, it's not like true love can blossom in a courtship in two years. Not for someone that close to President Bush! |
