Congratulations, Jenna Bush. You, too, have joined the PC crowd. Wow, your parents really taught you well...

You go girl!
Well stated.
Coolchick registered in 2004, do you realize that every posting she has ever made at freerepublic has been in defense of Debbie Schlussel?
Every single post that this woman has ever made over the years has been about one woman? What is that about?
You know, I actually don't think we need to feel bad for them, because they are free to make their own choices no matter what their parents do.
I just think they need the space and time the rest of us got to figure out our lives by learning hard lessons. They will be better people for it...and this book may be a step in the right direction.
I thought that I remembered hearing that. Thank you for saying that.
Wow! Is that a mug shot?
Isn't it amazing how many freepers are jumping off on the headline without reading the ARTICLE and seeing the actual comment was about comparing the impact of one BOOK with that of another BOOK
She says she "very, very modestly" hopes her book will have some of the influence of two books about girls caught up in the Holocaust: Lois Lowry's novel Number the Stars and Anne Frank's The Diary of Anne Frank.
That's the only thing in the USA Today article Debbie cites. The bold from Debbie's article appears no where in the article.
And Bush has the audacity to tell USA Today that she envisions her teen-single-mother-with-AIDS book as having the same influence as Anne Frank's The Diary of Anne Frank. She compares her book and its topic to two books on the Holocaust, including Frank's. She even named her single-teen-mother-with-AIDS heroine Ana, a Latino version of Anne.
I'm skeptical, but it would be nice if it had as big ana impact as Anne Frank's diary, but there's no comparison there between AIDs sufferers or single mothers and victims of the Holocaust. Nor any indication she named her heroine Ana because of Anne Frank. Unless there's another interview out there Debbie forgot to cite, her charges are fabricated. Not to mention very, very modestly" hopes morphs into envisions.
Dunno. I was just speaking from experience with myself and later my son.
Do you have an un-healthy fixation on Debbie? wink-wink
You have behaved badly all through this thread. Classless and unwilling to listen.
No. :>)
Same as a newspaper article. That's why headlines and the first paragraph. are so important.
Don't she just wish! Complete with Ann Coulter-type picture. Doesn't quite make it, though, does it.
I didn't belittle her. I criticized her comparison. Details do matter.
See post 83
Does Cool Chick = Debbie Schlussel? I'm just asking....
*Yawn*
How arrogant of her to compare her own book to Anne Frank's diary.
I noticed that.
Excellent catch!
My opinion of this is that the outrage is excessive. Of all the things to get angry with a kid about, writing a book such as this ranks fairly low on my scale. Lord help her if she serves soup at a homeless shelter. The criticism will be scathing!
