Barbara (L) and Jenna Bush, the daughters of U.S. President George W Bush, walk together from the Darnall Army Community Hospital in Fort Hood, Texas, April 11, 2004 after President Bush (news - web sites) and members of his family visited with soldiers wounded in Iraq (news - web sites). Bush awarded 10 purple hearts to troops recovering in the hospital, after attending an Easter Sunday Church service at a chapel within the army base in central Texas.

I saw half a dozen young women their age at church yesterday wearing jean jackets, spaghetti strap dresses and backless sandals. Doesn't necessarily make it right but they're in style.

Theater of the absurd. More modest dress was called for. It ain't about the Bush girls. It's about our wounded boys and gals and their being uplifted.

Well .. maybe the Bush babes uplifted some of the guys with thier Easter outfits! Heh!

I'm with you. Nothing wrong with the length or color in my opinion. Looks like static or wind is messing with her dress. How about some photos of these "FASHION CRITICS"? that would be interesting! I need a laugh!

[dennisw]

I agree and those outfits they had on at the Ignauration Ball were in poor taste also

What the hell is with their mother doesn't she see this

I'm sure mom and dad appealed to them but to no avail. Those are two high stepping clothes horses

[Proud 2BeTexan]

The girls are grown... I doubt Mrs. Bush picks out their clothes.

(the jean jacket was probably thrown on at the last minute, since it was unexpectedly chilly in Texas yesterday)

how about some photos of you? you wish you were that young and pretty.

What's that nasty scab on the blonde one's knee? I fell down once and made a scab from a few too many myself.....

I agree they need to do something about their dressing.

Oh PLEEEEEEEEEZE. I see many young girls dress like them. It is so stupid that people in our own party cute them down, when DU or moveon will be doing enough.

I admire the girls. It can not be easy for Jenna going to UT and being a BUSH. I am sure her profs are as liberal as they come.

Looks like the blonde one has lost all that baby fat.....maybe Atkins and those pork ribs from the Ironworks Barbecue are paying off

Beer is low carb.

I admire the girls for doing their part to visit the sick and wounded from the war effort. Believe me, knowing what passes for fashion out there today, they could have been dressed a LOT worse!

[Howlin]

Well, she is quite a partier, so I hear! Could be.

[babaloo]

No kidding! I loved that scene fron the Music Man!. The girls are young and beautiful and it is very nice that they went to see the troops. I look at old pictures of myself in 70's garb and I wish I would have made better choices in hindsight.

[tkathy]

I wouldn't doubt that they dressed that way specifically to irritate Mom and Dad.

[Demetrius Slaughter]

The girls are young and pretty. I am a conservative Republican.

That does not change the fact that their outfits are inappropriate for daughters of the American President to be wearing when going to Easter services or visiting wounded troops.

The jean jacket looks trashy as does the spaghetti strapped dress. It is too revealing for church, IMHO.

I wore khaki pants, an oxford button down shirt, and a blue blazer to church yesterday, if that sets your mind at rest.

As it so happens, I am a very good-looking guy.

Shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second can catch an unflattering moment and freeze it in a shallow mind.
