Jenna Bush Dishes On Her Engagement: "He Said, 'Are You Excited?' I Was Like, 'I Don't Know!'"

DC Examiner :

Curious to know how exactly Henry Hager proposed to First Daughter Jenna Bush? The latest People magazine, which hits newsstands this Friday, has the details.

"It was 4 a.m. and Jenna Bush just wanted to sleep. She and her boyfriend, Henry Hager, were camping out in Maine's Acadia National Park, Aug. 15, and Hager had woken her up in the dark. His plan? To hike to the top of Cadillac Moutain, the highest peak on the East Coast. Jenna got up grogily, and the nature-lovers set off, wearing head lamps to light the way. As they neared the summit, Hager, 29, suggested stopping for an energy bar. Then as the sun began to rise, he proposed. 'I was in shock,' says Jenna, her custom-made platinum-set round diamond-and-sapphire ring now sparkling on her left hand. 'I acted the complete opposite of how I thought I would: I was quiet. He said, 'Are you exited?' I was like, 'I don't know!'"

Political offspring should be off limits to this type of blog flog. They should be scrutinized only if they choose to become public figures by engaging in the political discourse--and then, only when they become adults.

Blake, it is not sporting attacking the accident of one's birth. It has to do with something called "manners", an apparently alien concept to you.

She should not be allowed to breed.

What a beautiful proposal from atop Mount Crumpet where they could look down on all the little Whos in WhoVille as they always have and always will. The End.

"Are you exited?" (sic)...is that really what Jenna said or a Huffpo typo...?

One cannot be too sure...like totally sure...when quoting Jenna...she seems to have Daddy's gift for language, that's for certain...

TOTALLY!

since they and their families are such patriots and they are all making so much money off the war in iraq, why isn't ole henry in the military?

I guess the "DUMB GENE" runs in the family: without 5x7inch cheat cards there is NOT a thought in their heads. In my family we called "empty head."

Yup....it's W-A-A-A-A-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y too hard to know if you're happy or not, Jenna.

Well, it must be a sloooow news day. This ranks right up there with Chelsea Clinton's picture story.

Both kids seem perfectly normal to me.

classy group of people you are. Lord knows what you lunatics are going to fixate your hysterics and paranoia when bush leaves office. I heard one of the dingbats on Air America predict that Bush won't leave office! He'll declare marshall law and throw a military coup, the crazy broad said with a straight face.

The children of presidents should be off-limits to public display and comments until the kids either enter politics or start to act politically.

Typical shallow mean spirited articles we have come to expect from HuffPO. With the attendant drivel from the Huffers.
