I'm 27, male, in love with the twins, think they are ditzes, yet they are funny.
I bet they've scored major points with the 18-30 crowd judging by the horror/consternation of all the old fuddy-duddies on FR and on the networks.
They were a hit-- big time.
I thought they were a little silly, but I loved the hamster story--"We had a hamster too...Let's just say he didn't make it." LOL!
It's a line from an Outkast song. Don't feel bad -- most delegates had no idea what that meant, either.
I agree. To older generations (including some from the cusp of "Gen X"), they may not have worked well. But this convention is reaching to as many segments of Republican/Republican-leaning voters as possible. They appeal to the current crop of university kids. Also, they are mucho cute.
Shake it like a polaroid picture....back in the old days people would shake their polaroid pictures vigorosly to help them develop.
I'm 33, but I've never had a Polaroid camera. :) I assume you have to shake the pic?
Most people did, but it wasn't good for the film. Now Polaroid prints a warning to NOT shake the pictures while they are developing. :D
The Sex in the City comment was NOT charming. It embarrassed their grandparents. It wasn't cool it was crude.
I'll remember that when your kids do somthing in public. yea, it was not great, but again, they look bettere than you.
They sucked. They actred like dopey little girls and showed little respect for their role as President's daughters.
Sorry, but when I was 22 I knew how to act appropriately.
Fred Barnes was right, families have no place at these conventions. First Ladies maybe but kids?
No dice
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dang, everyone's acting like stuffy old Republicans here. The twins are babes. Enjoy!
**... their age group isn't watching***
I don't necessarily agree with this statement. I happen to fall into their age group and got all of the pop culture references. They weren't talking to older voters, so I don't think people should be so hard on them. I don't know many 22 year-olds that could do what they just did.
Speaking as an old fuddy-duddy, I think that's an excellent point. :o)
Wasn't planning on doing much talking, really...
Yeah, they're the President's daughters. I'll shut up now. Plus my girlfriend is tapping my shoulder and doesn't think my comment was that funny...
I knew you were going to say that! :-)
