Is it me, or does it seem like reporters aren\u2019t even trying to make sense<\/a> anymore?<\/p>\n

Oh please. In 1971, this might have been fashion forward, very lovely and \u201cdifferent\u201d (neither hippy-granny dress, nor blowsy meringue) but it was hardly \u201crisque,\u201d especially for a wedding held in a garden instead of a church.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blah, blah, blah, Jenna is not having a White House wedding because blah, blah, George Bush isn\u2019t running for election and he\u2019s unpopular, blah, blah, blah. I\u2019m sure if Jenna Bush wanted a White House wedding, she\u2019d have had one. It seems to me President Bush is not intimidated by his low approval ratings, and he\u2019s also not interested in pandering for that approval by dancing to \u201cThank Heaven For Little Girls\u201d for the cameras. What is much more likely (and believable) is that the Bushes prefer to keep their family celebrations to themselves and not reduce their special occasions to fodder for the very press that hates them all.<\/p>\n
What blather. Congrats to Jenna Bush and her intended. She\u2019ll be teaching in Baltimore after the wedding.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
