MTV, ROLLING STONE and the rock and roll establishment -- past and present -- have cast their vote, and their man is John Kerry.
So on Sunday night when John Kerry's daughters were announced to speak at the annual MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS, the MTV youth were expected to welcome his daughter's as pop culture princesses.
Instead, in an era of the unexpected, the daughters of the Democratic candidate were met with a resounding wall of boos at the filming in Miami.
From the moment Alexandra and Vanessa started speaking, the boos outweighed anything close to cheers, and the reaction turned worse when the daughters asked the VIACOM youth to vote for their father. So shocked by the reaction, the taller of the two daughters tried to 'shhhhhh' her peers to no avail.
Developing...
You're a biiiit late, Kent. ;)
Oops. Sorry; didn't come up on search. :)

That's great. I really think my generation is a lot more conservative than people give us credit for. We are Reagan babies.
Was a Bush representative there?
Don't know why but I kind of feel sorry for them.
There are two threads circulatng on this already, but I watched the replay and yes, they definitely received some boos. At the risk of sounding extremely catty, I think the blonde one (don't know which is which) has an extremely unattractive nose and it ruins the rest of her face. She must have Babs as her role model. She certianly has the money, I would have had a nose job years ago.
I have a feeling that the Bush twins would get a whole lot of cheers and quite a few cat calls as well.
This is great - in Miami and at an MTV ceremony!!! This certainly counters to the "10s of thousands of GOP protesters in NYC."
There might be hope for the next generation after all! Perhaps they are rebelling against their 60s era liberal parents! Imagine that - being a rebel equating to be being conservative.
It will be interesting to see how the 18-25 demographic votes this year.
GO BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!
The fans may have suspected them of falsifying the awards.
Rather amazing....and I would have thought they'd be supported....HA...so did they.
In my defense: different source (Drudge), as well as different headline (which is why the one I used didn't come up on Search). :)
I don't understand this. I would assume that the MTV crowd would strongly favor Kerry.
The Bush girls WERE there, by video; and they DID get cheers!
When it switched back to the Kerry girls, there were more boos!
The Bush girls are here in NYC, they were at a party and previously taped a statement. MTV edited it to have the to sets of sisters talking to each other. It was hard to tell since the camera kept on the Bush girls soley when they were talking but I didn't hear any background yelling when they were out.
'So shocked by the reaction, the taller of the two daughters tried to 'shhhhhh' her peers to no avail.'
I think they'd take insult to being called "her peers".
They shoudda brought the hamster!
Almost brings a tear to my eye...brings back memories of Hillary and the 9/11 benefit concert. Ahh, yes...Hillary in ol' crusty and the room filling boos of the NY firefighters.
Is the video of this online? Please!
At the risk of sounding like a dirty old man...I would bet most twenty year old guys would love to have Janna Bush's phone number, and her sister's not bad either.
I don't fault these girls for supporting their own father. "Honor your father and your mother." A command with a promise.
I wouldn't call them down for that.
No way in the world, though, that I'll vote for their dad.
Maybe because they have faces fit for a stable?
She should have worn that French dress, the one from Cannes...
If this is for real, I mean the whole house booing, we may be in the midst of a cultural upheaval of Tsunamic proportions. Hang Ten!
I'm with you. She bought the blonde, she might as well buy the nose too.
You guys have it all wrong. When they saw the Kerry girl who wore the see through dress at the Cannes film festival, they all started shouting "Boobs!"
It's so obvious once you think about it.
I saw this, it was amazing!
When the boos got louder and stayed continuous while the Kerry girls tried to talk, I turned to my daughters and said, "WHERE IS THIS???". I couldn't believe it was happening at an MTV event! One of the girls gave up and went, "SSSSHHHHHH!!!" because they couldn't be heard over the booing crowd!
Then when Barbara and Jenna were shown, it was a mixture of boos and cheers, but the boos were very soft and stopped as soon as the girls started speaking...
It was WONDERFUL :-)
Hmm instead of a father daughter talk seems like it's time for a daughters father talk...hey pops level with us...
Almost brings a tear to my eye...brings back memories of Hillary and the 9/11 benefit concert. Ahh, yes...Hillary in ol' crusty and the room filling boos of the NY firefighters.
LOL A sweet memory, that.
Of course they were booed. It's the MTV awards not a political campaign rally...they deserved to be booed.
"But you don't understand! Our daddy gave CPR to a hamster!!"
Interesting. I've been hearing the argument that the easing of abortion restrictions in the '70s has caused the supply of young liberals to suffer, since it's that side of the political aisle who gets the majority of abortions. I've had my suspicions about that argument, but maybe there's something to it.
Nah. I think because the girls probably really do love their dads. I know that once they stepped out they were fair game but I just hate to see the kids "catch it". Even Chelsea.
The looks on their faces was that of total disbelief. It was great. I bet Kerry soiled his pants. LOL
1st KERRY GIRL: "Shhhhhhh! GUYS! My father was in Cambodia, you know!"
2nd KERRY GIRL: "Actually, I prefer the name 'Cammy,' nowadays."
Even if I hated Kerry, which I don't, I wouldn't take it out on his kids. If I'd been there, I'd have stayed silent, not booed.
One of the sad outcomes of the campaign is that Kerry's children will never look at him quite the same.
I have to admit...I find it surprising.
Nobody in that audience had the right to boo these women. Was anyone in the audience raised with millions of dollars, exotic vacations and leased cars every three years?
That audience doesn't know the meaning of sacrifice, of service. Shame on them for defaming the heroism of these two Veterans of the Bling.
I feel bad for them too. But, I never learn.
THIS IS MIAMI! THE REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD!!!!!!!!! MIAMI ROCKS!!!!!!!!
Okay, someone is going to have to explain this to me. There must be more to this story.
How can this be???
The MTV Video Music Awards took place in Miami. If this was the Kerry Girls' "Welcome to Miami" from Generation Y, Kerry's in trouble in Florida.
Oh please...they're grown women, in their 20s. I think they can handle it.
In the immortal words of the WHO: THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT!!!
Miami?? A Republican stronghold?? You're being sarcastic, right?? It's anything but and that's what makes this so remarkable...
