As Americans focused on the Jenna Bush – Henry Hager wedding in Crawford this weekend, many began to realize just how much they had fallen in love with the First Family’s beautiful and fun loving twin daughter.
They thought about how unpretentious she is. That she doesn’t take herself too seriously, as when she impishly stuck her tongue out at the White House press corps. That she is industrious, getting her education and writing a book while still in her twenties. And that she has a heart, that the subject of her book was another young lady in need.
The Bushes will soon be passing into private life after the White House, But the memories of this weekend will linger and they will be happy ones of a White House kid who made it good, married well and came through the tough years in the public fish bowl just fine.
I am pleased to see that at least Jenna has turned her life around after a few years of hard pAArtying with the fake IDs. That kind of trouble seems to have dogged the Bush grandchildren. Remember what happened to Noelle Bush? That was pretty sad.
I remember a few years back when Jeb’s son, George P., was being hailed as the next shining star of the Bush family. I haven’t heard anything about him since the ’04 election.
Doug, any updates?
Well said about Jenna. She finally aquitted herself well.
