Jenna Bush tells Ellen She Can Use the Ranch for Her Same-Sex Wedding
ABC ^ | May 27, 2008 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 05/27/2008 1:13:00 PM PDT by balch3

People Magazine reports that in an appearance on Ellen to air this Wednesday, First Daughter Jenna Hager (nee Bush), sitting with her mother First Lady Laura Bush, tells Ellen DeGeneres that she can use the President's ranch in Crawford for DeGeneres' pending same-sex wedding with actress Portia de Rossi.

"So, the ranch was a great place to get married," DeGeneres says, "it looked like nobody could fly over and get pictures or bother you, really."

"Yeah," says Hager, "that was really nice."

"So, can we borrow it for our wedding," DeGeneres asks. "Can we get the ranch?"

"Sure," says Hager.

"Okay, great," says DeGeneres.

Come on. She’s on the spot, so she gave the ok. And I’m sure Ellen knows she’s not getting anywhere near that ranch.

Why not do a recreation of Woodstock down at the ranch too?

Unless the ranch somehow gets moved to Massachusetts or California, there won’t be a gay wedding there, since there is no gay marriage in Texas.

The title isn't really accurate. Jenna didn't say she could use it for her ‘same sex wedding’, Ellen asked if she could used it, Jenna said sure. Same-sex wedding wasn't part of the conversation. To make the title accurate, one would have to first be able to read Jenna's mind to know ‘same sex’ was even a thought and secondly, not know that it wasn't just a polite ‘sure’ versus ‘piss off’. All I've seen in the many times this has been posted is video of Jenna being polite.

Same cr** Ellen pulled on McCain..."So, you'll walk me down the aisle?"....AFTER he already said VERY CLEARLY: "Marriage is between a man and a woman".

It's all about Ellen, isn't it!!

When Fox News was first running the Degeneres marriage story, my closed caption spelled out in black and white “Ellen Degenerate announces upcoming wedding...”!!!!! I wonder who types these captions?? Is it Voice Recognition software or a closet Freeper?

No! Not if you’re going to make a joke out of the institution of marriage created by God! Sorry, but you’ll have to discuss your options with Him NOT me.

However, McCain also said that he believes Gays and Lesbians should be allowed to enter into Civil Unions.

Civil Union + Marriage under a different name

Except that California cannot issue a marriage license for Texas and Texas does not recognize same sex perversions of marriage.

AMEN to that. This country has been growing more liberal by the day for many years now. In a best-case scenario the rot only spreads a little less slowly when "conservatives" are in party, but it still spreads. And it will continue to do so as long as nobody in power REALLY stands against it.

Poor Jenna. What a setup. She has probably never met a conniving feminazi activist in her life before. Real feminazis hate marriage and men. They really could care less about getting “married”, they just want to make a mockery of it is all.

Come on - it’s obvious Ellen intentionally put Jenna on the spot....and being the gracious woman she was raised to be by her parents, she did the only thing she could and replied yes.....it would have made the libs day if she’d been anything but gracious - imagine the headlines....obviously, Jenna’s a whole lot smarter than Ellen...(hell, she’d just put McCain on the spot last week - this is not the sign of a courteous hostess - IMHO) Ellen is caught up in “gotcha” interviews I guess....looking for headlines....at least tho, she’s not a mean b&*tch like Rosie O....

Oh puhleaze. She went to UT at Austin. The "Berkeley on the Colorado." I think she's met plenty of those. A southern lady does not cause a scene, especially when provoked on the spot.

Degenerate asked Jenna that question to put her on the spot. Of course she would have to say yes, or be tarred as an intolerant homophobe in front of an audience of homo-sympathetic lemmings.

Ellen loves to put people on the spot. But, asking to use the ranch is very telling. Guess she doesn’t have any other friends willing to give her a special place for her gay “marriage” ceremony. And, she asked McCain to “walk her down the aisle,” so apparently she has no relative or friend to do that either. She must be desperate. Sad state of affairs - Ellen is obviously low on friends to help her out. Did she ever think of how revealing her questions are considering she has to ask people not even connected to her for her so-called “wedding.” Pitifully revealing. LOL

I seriously doubt that Ellen can’t find anyone to walk her down the aisle, and that she doesn’t have friends willing to let her get married at their homes or properties. Do you really think she wants John McCain to walk her down the aisle at the Bush ranch? She was joking.

Marriage still means a lot to some of us. These people just don't care who they offend.
