Obama’s daughters are adolescents and need to be left out of politics altogether. OTOH, Bush’s daughters were in college, and while they should have been left out of the news, at least one of them regularly behaved like a fool in public.

I completely understand about Obama's daughters and agree. But how much of the Bush twins was because of stupidity, and how much was because of the spotlight on them. Case in point ... getting caught trying to by drinks at Chuy's. What college kid doesn't try to buy liquor even when under age? And for the manager to call 911 over that is an abuse of the emergency call system.

My point was and still is ... there is a double-standard on Dem/GOP offspring. Dems are off limits and rarely, if ever, discussed. GOP offspring are fair game.

You are right. Journalists should be ashamed of their dishonesty and double standards.

I agree that there is a double standard.
