Should she be held to a higher standard? No, but she should understand that some people (media, daddy's opponents etc...) are going to make a big deal about things normal college students do just because of who she is. It's a sacrifice her daddy made when he ran for office (good or bad). r****ded may be too strong of a word. More like she lacks good judgment. Maybe EDP didn't teach her a thing. What's up DONG?..hehehe I hope he's a Rockets fan. Are you reading this? WOOHOO. Learn to speak English...Jenna can't understand you. [This message has been edited by Smokey (edited May 30, 2001).]
The article has been updated, when I orginally followed the link, there wasn't anything about Barbara being involved. But it's there now. (I wonder why Jenna and Barbara are in Austin. You'd think they'd spend their time between semesters at the White House with their parents.) Personally, I hate to see Jenna become the Billy Carter of this administration, but she's quickly becomming just that (even though her sister was apparently involved in this incident, it's not enough to take the title away from Jenna). How long before some enterprising American starts marketing "Jenna Beer" - I assume Bush Beer wouldn't be possible since it's too close to Busch Beer? And, while I don't take joy in seeing Jenna in trouble, I do wonder how she can be so stupid. When you live in the limelight (as the President's daughter does whether she likes it or not), you can't do these sorts of things. One would think that the first few incidents would be enough to teach Jenna Bush this lesson. ------------------ Houston Sports Board Film Dallas.com AntiBud.com

mrpaige: Maybe she enjoys the notoreity? I wasn't really a newswatcher in the Reagan days, but didn't his son enjoy being "bad?" What really kills me, is that almost everyone I know (including me) has done the exact same things she's done, and nobody cares. They shouldn't. It's ridiculous, and it's giving her a reputation she doesn't deserve. ------------------ A few years back on the Senate floor... Phil Gramm: "If Democrats could, they'd tax the air we breathe."

It was his (Reagan's) daughter (Patty Davis)that was really the bad seed of the Reagan family. I don't recall that much about Ron Reagan (other than that he danced ballet at one point). But maybe Jenna does enjoy the notoriety. Or perhaps she is acting out for some reason that we're unaware of. ------------------ Houston Sports Board Film Dallas.com AntiBud.com
Kagy, what is up with you man? I haven't been too keen with the bbs reading as of late, but I'm sensing that ever since you found Christ, you've become more negative. I could be wrong, and I know a lot of the stuff you're saying is in defense of people not here, which is good; but gee, you can still be Christian and let things go. People on this board are just shootin the ****. I really don't think they mean to be offensive. Then you come around with a barage of analogies (which any student of rhetoric would say is not strongest type of warrant) like you've been personally offended. Don't get me wrong, cause you're probably right on a lot of the issues you argue, but man, this stuff is funny- the president's daughter possibly getting arrested again for just tryin to get a beer. It's not serious like drunk driving or mental issues of anything. It's just some light hearted funny situational humor. ------------------ "I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time." -Marilyn Monroe
This is what gets me about this story: "Police said they received a 911 call Tuesday evening from the manager of Chuy's restaurant who said minors were attempting to purchase alcohol." Do we really want restaurant manager's tying up the 911 lines when minors try to buy alcohol? ------------------
You know, I wondered about the 911 call as well. Honestly, I wouldn't know who to call if I was in the manager's shoes. 911 seems like the generic way to handle. They can always transfer him to police. ------------------ The internet is about the free exchange and sale of other people's ideas. - Futurama
Why couldn't the manager just not serve them alcohol and leave it at that instead of calling the cops? ------------------ I don't want to waste my time And become a casualty of society. I'll never fall in line Become a victim of your conformity and back down.

She's blond isn't she? I wonder what the secret service was doing this time? Is their job just to protect her from harm? Maybe JW needs to assign one of them to protect her from herself. I think all she needs is a good spanking, & I'm just the man to do it. ------------------
I don't think anybody finds it funny, but writing it off as "normal college experiences" is a cop out. She has gotten caught several times in a short period of time. As the daughter of a president you think she would know better, and the fact that she is in the public eye should stop her from doing something stupid like that. I don't know if people are spinning a story because she is republican or what, but what she did is wrong, and apparently she seems to have a drinking problem, whether she is a republican or democrat, people are going to make a big deal out of it because she is related to the president. ------------------ "I'm not here to protect my reputation, I'm here to make my reputation!

You know, in thinking about it, the situation isn't going to get easier for Jenna. By getting caught in these situations, she is making it even HARDER to get alcohol if she wants it. Everyone will know who she is and will fear they'll get busted too. ------------------ The internet is about the free exchange and sale of other people's ideas. - Futurama

So, there is a 3 strikes law in Texas that covers misdemeanors? Does that mean that if I get three traffic tickets, I could go to jail for six months?
