Jenna Bush answers questions from people across America:
If the war in Iraq is so noble, why aren't you and your sister serving our country there?
—Donald Pence, San Francisco
I understand that point, but there are many ways to serve our country, and I think my skills are better suited for teaching and representing the U.S. in Latin America through UNICEF. I respect the men and women of our country who are over there fighting. It is an unbelievably selfless thing to do. But if people really thought about it, they would know it's not even a practical question.

For the first time in years, I gave Time the web hit they don’t deserve. I read all ten. Jenna did well.
They might have been trying to corner her with something. She did a good job fighting back.
What would give them the right to ask such questions.
Time for them to send a dozen senior editors to Kabul to ride around in a hummer.
question to the idiot who asked her about Iraq-did you demand Chelsea serve in Kosovo and if not, don’t you think it’s way past time to shut your piehole?
I can’t help wondering what “Donald Pence, San Francisco” has done to serve our country beside dreaming up snarky, gotcha questions for the President’s daughter.
Indeed! She appears to be very intelligent and sympathetic. I am confident that she will make her family proud in the years to come!
I’d go just to observe, nevermind report.
If I were Jenna, here’s my response: Mr. Pence, if you had a son or daughter in Iraq, would you want them in harm’s way because a standing President’s daughter was in their unit serving and putting all of them at risk from terrorists eager to hit the President personally? I didn’t think so - perhaps you might like to think before you ask those kind of questions or didn’t you learn question asking in journalism school?
Robert Capa, if photographers count.
Robert Capa, if photographers count.
Why didn’t Chelsea serve in Yugoslavia?
Photographers don’t count. Gotta’ be someone with some serious rank in the company ~
Liberal idiots just ooze childish bile, don't they?
Question 11: Does your sister need an escort to your wedding?
YEAH, LET'S SEND THE FIRST DAUGHTERS TO IRAQ SO AQ CAN KIDNAP THEM AND BLACKMAIL THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
Why didn't Chelsea Clinton serve in Bosnia? Why didn't Margaret Truman serve in Japan? Why didn't Linda Bird Johnson serve in Vietnam?
Anybody who asks that question is too F$%KING STUPID to deserve to have it published in a major magazine.
What have YOU ever done for this country besides TAKE and whine for MORE?
Leftist moonbats are the most selfish, self centered, self important crybabies on the planet.
Very nice! Jenna handled herself well. I wish her all the best in the future. (Please, please, can we have a WH wedding?)
Good point Leah! But that’s the thing with children of politicians: the “journalists” take out their hatred on them instead of their parents. But Jenna never asked to be the President’s daughter, and it’s really unfair to ask questions like that. But I have a feeling that she is a tough person - sort of like her dad ;)
