How bad were the Bush twins?

I'm kind of half-watching the convention. Barbara Bush was "interviewed" as an introduction to a video segment, and said something about how great the convention was so far (WILD APPLAUSE) and how her favorite part was her two granddaughters (grins freeze, applause turns polite.)

Just how bad were they?

Oh - forgot to answer the question LOL. I thought they looked a bit nervous. Public speaking isn't everyone's forte (makes me a nervous wreck), and they giggled a bit. Probably not as polished as Kerry's daughters at the DNC.

They did their best, I think, and will no doubt improve if they choose to stay in the public spotlight.

I wasn't.




Why do the kiddies and such speak????


They don't here - sort of considered they are not standing, and hence reasonably irrelevant - not to mention daddies and mummies....

To "humanize" the candidate.

an impossible task, at best, regardless of the candidate.

Dare I say that it makes the candidate look more.... Sensitive?

I didn't see them speak, but read the transcript. They read dumb. Lousy sense of humor. I guess they thought it funny that they would get caught underage drinking like Dad did.

I can't remember where I read the review--biased website, of course, but the reviewer damned the twin's script writer.

My semi-educated guess that if the Kerry daughters had a Hamster, the Bush twins had to come up with public wit and charm.

I understand that both the Kerry Daughters and the Bush Twins bombed at a rock concert type venue. The captive audience booed--they'd come for the music.

Evidently Karen Hughes wrote the script, with "some input" from the twins.

Hmmm.

I think one way to help undecideds choose is to ask them what they want their children to grow into: the Bush twins or the Kerry girls.

I predict a great future for the Bush twins.

Think Playboy's "Girls of the White House" issue...

Followed by a whole new season of "A Simple Life," when Paris Hilton retires.

You put yourself in the spotlight, you'd better learn to stand the heat.

I don't remember the speech exactly, or which one said what, but it went something like this...

Oh wow...like look at all the people. <giggle>

I was...like....drinking once <giggle> and....like...I saw a guy <giggle> that looked....like....my dad <giggle> and I.... like... started throwing up <giggle>

I told my dad about it <giggle> and he just started to....like.... giggle like a little girl.

My dad is....like.... so cool!


That's the only part of the speech I remember. After that, I clicked the channel and started watching some show on earthquakes in Japan.
