This story is just too funny: http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/...assy_asks.html

Despite being asked by the US Embassy to leave Argentina, the Bush twins decided to ignore the request of the new US ambassador to Argentina (appointed by Georgie-boy himself) and stay in Buenos Aires making a complete spectacle of themselves. They could become a threat to national security by getting their bony drunk butts kidnapped.

p.s.: What hotel are they staying at? I'd love to get a snapshot of Barbara running naked through the hallways. It'd be worth millions -- that is until Daddy Bush decides to use the Patriot Act against me and have me declared an enemy combatant.

Wow!!! Watching a soccer game from the owner's box-----checking one's e-mail on a computer in the lobby---having your purse stolen while dining at a restaurant!!! IMAGINE. That's really WILD stuff there, Beagle. NOT one thing about partying or drunk behavior or ANYTHING else that you charge. But then, what else is new.

Must be a slow news day for Beagle.

I think it was probably a bit more than checking e-mail, watching a soccer game or getting your purse stolen that made the US AMBASSADOR ask the Bush Twins Gone Wild to get the heck out of the country.

But nice try at deflecting from the real point of the story JP5. Of course, if it had been Chelsea while Clinton was in office, I'm sure you'd get the point then.

"Thursday night, an ABC News producer was able to walk into their hotel unchecked and engage Barbara Bush in conversation while she checked her e-mail on a computer in the lobby. Jenna sat talking with friends on a sofa nearby. No Secret Service agents were anywhere to be seen in the lobby, according to ABC News' Joe Goldman. "

don't you think this is serious?

I think the quality of their security is in serious question.

I think Rush Limbaugh is a piece of manure for his attack on Chelsea Clinton (among many other things), but Beagle, you put yourself right on the same level with this tabloid nonsense about Bush's daughters. I write as someone who, as far as my religion (Christianity) will permit me to hate, is a "Bush-hater". However, his daughters didn't ask to be born, so leave them alone!

That a US Ambassador of a country asks the daughters of the President to leave the country and those daughters refuse and continue to put themselves (and by association, the nation's security) at risk.

This isn't anything like when the twins were underaged and got drunk at a bar.

Thus, it is a story (with funny undertones). It further reflects badly on the President's ability to fight the war on terrorism when he can't even control his own daughters when they're both embarrasing him and the US and jeopardizing themselves.

I put the two most relevant words in bold text. They were asked (as in compliance being voluntary), not ordered to leave, and they are adults who are free to take whatever risks they choose. What I find outlandish is that you're actually claiming that this put our national security at risk. Please elaborate- it will probably resemble neocon paranoia.

If his daughters got kidnapped by terrorists and slowly tortured to death. I'm sure that our soldiers and our national security apparatus would simply say, "well they are adults."

Yeah right.

Since when was Argentina crawling with terrorists? What did I miss?

Did you even read your article? The country didn't ask them to leave. The U.S. Ambassador wanted them to leave because of the incidents......like the purse getting sold and the tabloid printing lies. It wanted things to be easier for himself. But last time I looked, it's a free world and these young women are free to travel wherever they'd like. And speaking of Chelsea----she traveled overseas in her 20's and was even photographed falling down drunk. Did you make a big deal out of that?????

BTW, your article doesn't list ONE THING......not ONE THING that these women did that was wrong. Other than being the daughter of George W. Bush and per you that's a big "No-No."
