Ten of the 15 questions in today’s press gaggle focused on Jenna’s wedding.»

The White House press corps gave Bush administration spokesman Gordon Johndroe a tough time in today’s press gaggle. Of the 15 total questions asked during the briefing, 10 were regarding the upcoming wedding of President Bush’s daughter Jenna. Here are some of the most hard-hitting of the bunch:

Is Barbara there already?

– We’re all concerned about getting some kind of a readout after the event. Do you expect us to get anything?

Was 41 on board today?

– Is he going to be doing his normal activities down at the ranch this weekend, since there’s this big affair — like, is he going to go — probably do the exercise and the chopping of the cedar and all that stuff, or is that pretty much on hold this weekend?

– Are they — is the Bush family hosting a rehearsal dinner since — with the Hagers?

What is [Bush] going to do today?

With important questions like these, its shocking that it took 14 days for a reporter to ask about Bush’s approval of torture.

    And Jenna’s pregnant, right?


  2. sacopenapa Says:

    The MeDIA pretends to inform… I pretend to read them…(NOT!)


  3. sacopenapa Says:

    Send Jenna, Laura and the other btrat to Iraq!


  4. paleolib Says:

    No big surprise. I doubt attendance was that high to begin with. Press room detail for this moribund administration is sh*t work along the lines of being entertainment director on the Titanic. Not that they were doing their jobs before lame duck time hit but now it isn’t even a prestige assignment. To these alleged journalists the only thing worse than evil is boring, irrelevant evil. For the nation’s sake, hopefully idiot boy will spend the weekend clearing brush and acting like a dick in front of other rich white people and not pick another country to attack.

    Poor Helen must be pulling her hair out.


  6. oldtree Says:

    good luck to us all


  7. raynman Says:

    and so it goes


  8. Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    The important ques: Is it appropriate for her to wear white?


  9. Buckie Boy Says:

    – What is [Bush] going to do today?

    He’s looking for a law he hasn’t broken yet, or maybe someone to kidnap and torture.


  10. williamf Says:

    The news media still thinks it reports the “news” and it is relevant. I got “news” for them.


  11. trollsbwild Says:

    The real news has been cancelled for some time now. The emperor, his family, and the minions need to have their asses kissed every minute. The MSM do a fine job of this, don’t they?


  12. mycatsmarterthanDubya Says:

    What is worse than a bunch of idiots (Bush family)? Two bunches of idiots (the press).

    Pardon me while I hurl.


  13. The Dogfather Says:

    Well, our local news this morning here in the DC area had, as its #2 story, how you can buy all sorts of souvenirs of the Bush wedding — mugs, mousepads, t-shirts…

    As Triumph would say, “Yeah, I’m going to buy that stuff — FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!”

    They’re treating this like it’s a royal wedding or something. Oh wait, I forgot — it is the daughter of King George II…


  14. robbez_92107 Says:

    How the Rethuglicans try and try to recreate Camelot.
    They don’t realize that they’re missing the JFK part.


  15. IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    I have a question: WHO CARES?


  16. Bobwurst Says:

    How are they going to hide Jenna’s bulging belly? With a bunch of flowers?

    Only on her chin.

    The MSM has done an absolutely fine job of undermining our political discussion since 2000. The idiot king and his family of losers created their ‘alternative reality’ and the MSM likes to be invited to the weanie roasts and such. The MSM is dead and gone.

    And yes, Jenna is pregnant. She just doesn’t know who the fathers are at this point. I think she is starting a lottery, so everybody has a chance to guess who it is. Winner gets $3.00.


  20. Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    handout Says:

    VA has a new moniker.

    Murder, war, and death is ok.
    Making fun of Jenna Boosh is “hateful”

    You reich-wingers are sooooo perverse.

    1. Cheney is top my choice followed by
    2. Drugbaugh
    3. Vannity
    4. Newt
    5. Condi Rice

    Boy - you are right. Why DO the Bushies hate our troops and the American people (except for oilmen and CEOs)?


  23. robbez_92107 Says:

    Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    Wow. I was thinking Uncle Darth, too, but Condi - that’s TOO funny.


  24. RUCerious Says:

    THE HAGERS?

    Would the mother of the groom to be Loretta Hagers? Has she recovered from the crash into the busload of nuns?

    McWarz Says:
    ——————————————————————————–

    It was me, I admit it. But it was ThinkProgress’ fault. People on here kept saying f*(k the Bushs, so I did. Do ya think she’ll name it after me?

    Now that’s funny!


  26. nanlichi Says:

    Please Daddy, don’t puke on your shoes again. Just this once, please! For me!


  27. StratRat Says:

    At least someone wants to marry Jenna. Chelsea couldn’t get Barber Walters or Whoopi to do her!

    Two things we know about Jenna: One is she drinks like a fish. How that reconciles to her holier than thou image is up for debate. Two, she is making arrangements in Paraguay so her criminal father doesn’t get arrested once he leaves the US. She is quite the model citizen, no?


  28. trollsbwild Says:

    Between Barbara, George, and Jenna, will the guests at the wedding have any booze left to drink themselves??


  29. StratRat Says:

    Well, I’m bringing a case of Ripple (Red Roxx’s favorite) and I think some old bottles of cough syrup I found in the attic.


  30. StratRat Says:

    I can’t spell…Should be ‘Red Foxx’

    Nope nope nope nope! She’s getting married so she doesn’t have to do that anymore!
    The old but still great joke:
    Why is the bride smiling as she walks down the aisle?
    Because she has given her last hummer!

    If I thought he was sober enough to get it up, I’d bet on her daddy.


  34. IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    I hadn’t heard or read anywhere that she is pregnant. How’s come I got left out of the loop?

    The winner can take the 3 bucks in cash or get a voucher for 3/4’s of a gallon of gas.

    American media has become the new National Enquirer.

    -Missing Blondes
    -Pregnant Brides
    -King’s Daughter’s Wedding
    -Aliens speaking out of their asses (Santorum)
    -Cover the truth
    -Shout lies

    I use to think the Enquirer was funny. That is until the Bush Empire & American media decided to become them.


  37. Exit Stage Left Says:

    Perhaps your invite to the baby shower got lost in the mail :)~


  38. Zimzone Says:

    One baby in hand is worth two in the Bush…


  39. StratRat Says:

    IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    They tried to keep it a secret but I was able to get a National Security Letter and snoop through the doctors files. The sonogram pictures were very odd: they all looked like cheney with a pair of scissors. The baby seems to be shredding documents, if you can believe that.


  40. Zimzone Says:

    StratRat, you’re killing me! Keep it up…


  41. L. Hussein Annie Says:

    But, dammit!! Is she wearing panties???


  42. And Yet... Says:

    The wedding of Bush’s kid, who was photographed drunk several times & with her thonged butt up in the air dancing sprawled on a floor at some party.

    Oh yeah, way more important.


  43. And Yet... Says:

    War time solemnity, but only when BushCo feels like it.

    The war dead on each side count to the Bush family, not at all.

    Party on, Jenna!!


  44. And the beat goes on Says:

    This story was not worth the space in TP. Let’s move on…


  45. StratRat Says:

    And the beat goes on Says:

    This story was not worth the space in TP. Let’s move on…

    But it seems to be all the rage in the village. You know, the ones who started an illegal and misguided war to relieve the Iraquis of their dignity and oil. They seem to be VERY interested in this story. Why do you think that is?


  46. L. Hussein Annie Says:

    Let them eat cake!


  47. IgnoranceIsNotBliss Says:

    #40 Exit Stage Left: I’m glad I didn’t get invited. It would really piss me off if every time I set my beer down I had to chase after her to get it back.

    #42 StratRat: LMAO.


  48. shoeless Says:

    StratRat Says:

    The sonogram pictures were very odd: they all looked like cheney…

    So that’s what Jenna and Uncle Dick were doing in Cheney’s man-sized safe.


  49. dbadass Says:

    Hey the white dude that’s is scared shitless of black dudes is here too.


  50. StratRat Says:

    dbadass Says:

    Hey the white dude that’s is scared shitless of black dudes is here too.

    Maybe he’s the father. Oh, I forgot. That is NOT biologically possible. So sorry.


  51. DieNowForPeace Says:

    Will she be wearing a blood-stained wedding gown since her wedding will be paid for by the blood of U.S. soldiers?


  52. Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    blackdude Says:
    At least someone wants to marry Jenna. Chelsea couldn’t get Barber Walters or Whoopi to do her!

    Except for the fact that the beautiful Chelsea is engaged.

    But, don’t let facts stand in the way of yet another Clinton-induced hissy fit for another reich-winger.


  53. Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    L. Hussein Annie Says:
    But, dammit!! Is she wearing panties???

    If she’s a typical female reich-winger, the answer is ‘no’. Only reich-wing men wear panties.


  54. MCMetal Says:

    Ms Jenna Shrub

    You claimed on Larry King Live the other night that you are not beholden to John McStupid and the GOP . Given your family’s claims of being all “American” ; will you have children immediately if McStupid is elected , to keep his 100 year occupation of Iraq viable ?”


  55. singe_101 Says:

    So?

    DIAMONDS or PEARLS…?
