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!'"

The Headline reads: Are you "Exited". Was that intentionial? Did they mean, "Excited?"

Or, upon reflection, maybe exited is correct, LOL.

The story implies that Jenna and Henry were sleeping together. That simply cannot be true. Being a Bush, she leads a purly moral life and would never engage in anything that might tempt her into premarital sex. On the other hand, she didn't know if the was excited. She was probably too drunk.

I missed the story where Jenna came out and preached to the country about not having pre-marital sex. Could you post that for me?

Oh wait you're just talking out of your ass again aren't you?

You silly little huffstar.

And I was like WTF

Why aren't these spoiled brats in Iraq watching the sunrise and protecting us from the evil doers.

Is it some kind of Do as I say not as I do thingee?

I sure all the soldiers on their 3rd 4th of 5th tour are really happy and would jump up and down with joy, it they wouldn't get shot at by doing so.

When did Jenna tell the soldiers to go to Iraq? Just curious.

So I suppose the lesson here is that if you are the son or daughter of a disaster for a president you are to blame for his mistakes. So much so that you should go and fight in the wars that he starts.

Great logic, just freaking brilliant.

Wow. Ordinarily it would be tempting to make fun of Jena. But it isn't her fault. Look at the DNA building blocks she had to work with. I am surprised she got past the drool cup stage, her dad hasn't and as for her mother....well if Laura really did teach school than there were more than a few children left behind.

"stuff" like this is posted here on Arianna Huffington's website in order to keep the liberals in a rage. And to keep the same liberals from fleeing to a different liberal website.

God bless the troops.

Eh? Isn't the fact that we were lied into an endless war by the most secretive and dishonest administration in the history of this country enough to keep us in a rage?

How about the fact that the admin is asking for another 190 billion or so for the two wars we're currently fighting, while it balks at a 20 billion dollar request for maintenance of the infrastructure?

And then this: The administration and it's (stupid and/or sociopathic and/or insanely greedy) followers go around chanting "God bless the troops" while the administration cuts veterans' benefits.

Yes. God Bless the Troops and protect them from their "supporters".

This is all more than enough to keep me in a rage without having to read about the Jenna Bush's f-ing book.

HuffPo is ignoring extremely dire news like the news that Senator Lieberman has introduced legislation to attack Iran.

I'm nearly done with HuffPo.

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 12:33 PM on 09/26/2007

Olivia, the latest Lieberman/Kyl legislation is merely a non-binding resolution.

However, on July 11, 2007, an amendment to a bill was passed by the vote of 97-0. That amendment, sponsored by Joseph Lieberman and others, was not a non-binding resolution, and stated in part that Iran is attacking the United States of America by attacking our soldiers in Iraq and the United States will stand united in response to these attacks. The Lieberman amendment passed unanimously on July 11th was an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.
http://lieberman.senate.gov/newsroom/release.cfm?id=278727

Many have claimed this Lieberman amendment is "irrelevant", but I've been claiming since its passage that it is, indeed, the first step toward war with Iran.

I've been attacked by liberals here on Arianna Huffington's website for pointing out this amendment's passage, that's okay. At least you're understanding what your democratic majority in the Senate are deciding to vote on.

God bless the troops.

She like her dad... bloodlines and connections had put him into Andover, Yale and Harvard Business School, and even finally provided him with a fortune after years of business disappointments. Intelligence, hard work and the other qualities associated with the concept of merit had almost nothing to do with Bush's life and success up to that point.

I wanna see their pre-nup. The groom probably has to sign some kind of extensive non-disclosure agreement barring him from ever writing any type of tell-all book about the Bushes. Henry, run now, while you still can!!

The groom to be, Henry Hager, once worked for Karl Rove.

Be sure to watch Diane Sawyer's interview with this twit on Friday, on 20/20. Think I will be too busy to listen to her polishing her image. The entire family is so self important, it is disgusting. American royalty? I think not.

Camping? Surely Jenna is living by the "abstinence" edict that is costing taxpayers millions in contributions to the religious right?? The Bush family is so straight-laced (not) that having sex before marriage would be out of line with their deeply religious beliefs, wouldn't it? Oh, and wouldn't being naked, drunk and high, screaming in a hotel lobby be a no-no, also? Requested to leave Argentina to avoid an international incident, maybe Henry's family should try to talk some sense into this guy.

linda -- When the 25-year-old "child" writes a book and gives several interviews to promote said book, she's totally not off limits. She may be "resolutely private," but she's the one giving interviews and sharing details about her life. (A simple "I'd rather not share the details of the proposal" would be understandable.)

God Bless America (and no one else). ;)
