Bush wedding bells: 'The son George never had'

Wedding bells will ring in Texas in 10 weeks, when one of the first twins marries her beau, and First Lady Laura Bush says the president is thrilled about "the son that George never had.''

Jenna Bush and Henry Hager will wed.

Hager is a former staff member of Karl Rove's office in the White House. He is in his final year at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. His father, John H. Hager, served as assistant secretary of education in the Bush administration and became chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia. He also is a former lieutenant governor of Virginia.

Jenna Bush is the author of a book about her experiences working in Central America.

"It's going really very well, and I'm so happy for Jenna and for Henry,'' Laura Bush said of the wedding plans, in an interview this morning on CBS's Early Show. "And I think they've really found their soul mates. And that, of course, makes their mother and daddy really happy.''

Dad approves of Henry?

"He's a really good guy,'' the first lady says of the soon-to-be first son-in-law. "He's finally going to be the son that George never had.''

1. Their heads are almost exactly the same size and shape.

There, I said something relatively nice, or at least neutral.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. That's probably because they come from the same reptilian lineage.

You are a much nicer person than me!

[eleny]

5. That hit me right away!

They look like they could be brother and sis or cousins, at least.

[acmavm]

2. Good grief, more breeders in that criminal family. Someone

should either spay her or neuter him.

[Arugula Latte]

22. Exactly. Enough of the Bush Scourge upon this country.

Someone snip 'em -- quickly!

[live love laugh]

3. Something is wrong with those people (the Bushes). They just look...funny...for lack of a better

word.

[TahitiNut]

16. Self-adsorbed, arrogant, contemptuous, hedonistic, ... just some of the words to describe them.

:shrug:

[democrank]

6. So glad Junior is getting the son he never had.

Now he`ll have a male to pass his blowing up frogs talent to.

[flygal]

7. Anyone else think they're just trying to squeeze the wedding in b/f

he leaves office to make him seem ***gag*** human.

[Perry Logan]

8. GWB is not virile enough to have a son.

Just a theory.

[Raejeanowl]

34. Tell That To The Millions Of Men Who Have Only Daughters

Bet any one of them could wipe the floor with you. Just a theory.

[gateley]

9. I commend them for having the wedding in Texas,

rather than a huge to-do in the White House.

[bdamomma]

15. I think they are having the wedding on the pig farm

good place for them to be.

[Diane R]

10. Good. Maybe now he can send his 'son' off to Iraq! Like many fathers have to do.

[samplegirl]

11. OH Goody....A whitehouse wedding

they can fly out to their honeymoon destination on Air-Force One and we can pick up the bill.
Wonder how long this marriage will last? If he's like any good republican he won't be able to keep it in his pants.

[hisownpetard]

18. They're not getting married in the White House.

[Hand]

31. Not in the White House...

...they're getting spliced at Prairie Chapel :puke:, the so-called president's so-called ranch. Actually, of course, it's a derelict pig farm. Highly appropriate. :evilgrin:

[Tyler Durden]

12. His face looks like HERS, photoshopped.

Same blank eyes, same vapid smile, same short simian neck...

JESUS this is frightening.

[Tyler Durden]

13. HEY, if you've found your "Soul Mate,"

First don't you have to have a SOUL?

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. "former staff member of Karl Rove's office in the White House" - nice choice Jenna

.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. Typical white, pasty-faced, devoid-of-thought kind of look....

Not even a match made in Hell...more like a match made in Wal-Mart.

[Virginia Dare]

24. The chicken hawks don't fly far from the tree...n/t

[w8liftinglady]

17. Did anyone here see "The Birdcage"?

this reminds me of the wedding between the senator's daughter and the Drag Club owner-to hoist family values after the Senator's co-chair was found in the bed of a black underage prostitute

[idovoodoo]

28. Senator Jackson! LOL

:D

[lutefisk]

20. "After a brief honeymoon, the couple plans to enlist in the TANG"

"The Hagers' will report to Texas Air National Guard HQ, Camp Mabry, Austin, Texas."

21. "the president is thrilled about 'the son that George never had.'"

Good for you, President Bush! You and Babs must be thrilled that you're finally going to have the son you never had.
How are Junior, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin taking the news?

[TomInTib]

23. That is one strange statement...

Iwish that I was a little more awake so that I could wrap my mind around that one.

"He's finally going to be the son that George never had.''

Somehow, that speaks volumes about one fucked-up person (GWB).

[Virginia Dare]

25. Henry Hager for Prez 2032.....n/t

[LondonReign2]

26. GAK! She looks EXACTLY like Chimpy

And she is going to look EXACTLY like Babs in the not too distant future.

[Hand]

32. Karma is a bitch!

:evilgrin:

[cornermouse]

27. Let's hope he turns out to be the son George has earned

and deserves. }(

[poppysgal]

29. Keeping it in the family

:banghead: ugh

[zbdent]

30. no wonder Jenna drinks ...

aside from having Dumbya as her daddy, then she finds out that Georgie was excited to have the son he never had ...

[Raejeanowl]

33. I'm Sure They Didn't Expect Congratulations

Reading this thread is like moving a rock and finding wiggling, slimy worms beneath. Please tell me how this girl deserves this from us, regardless of how you feel about her father.
