As much as I dislike Bush, if I had my own talk show and had the opportunity to get him on the phone, I'd sure as hell run with it just to say I had. This felt incredibly awkward, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was staged to make Bush seem more human. What I want to know is what Jenna Bush was doing on Ellen to begin with.

Did anybody else notice that Bush said "I DO want to tell your audience Merry Christmas," the same way he does when he gives a speech? He'll say he's there to tell them something, instead of just saying what he wants to say. I thought it was a technique someone uses when they write his speeches, now I think he just talks like that. Either that, or this whole exchange was scripted.

Ever notice that members of the hate filled right wing, like fishsandwi­chesrgood, refer to the majority of Americans who don't want to see our country destroyed by a mad man as "fringe." The majority of Americans don't like Bush starting a war on lies that continues to slaughter our troops and innocent women and children. He lied that it had soemthing to do with 911, he lied about WMD and this week his lies about Iran have been revealed. The majority of great Americans who love this country are not fringe although the hate filled right wing likes to pretend they are.

Wow, this thread sure got scrubbed eh?

Who the hell cares if she can call her Daddy?

[kfdan]

Love the line, "just sitting here with dad." I guess, Bush does a lot of just sitting next to mom watching the tv and zoning away!

On this topic like so many others here on HuffPo straight liberals prove they're just as good at demeaning gay people as conservatives whenever it suits their needs. At least conservatives don't make a pretense of having our interests in mind.

Ellen has really done it this time, I for one--won't watch her show anymore--she is really wrapped up in herself anyhow--but having any shrub on her show and then pandering to the idiot--is too much for me--I am not a hypocrite like the repukes are--and apparently--Ellen is. Her show isn't that good anyhow--always the same.

Something is afoot.

NEVER in 7 years have they tried to paint a family picture...

Laura just happened to be there?
Duhbya just happened to be having tea?

I dont buy it.
They are pandering!
For what?
Are they losing ground?
Do they feel this will bring them love?

WTF?

[GeorgeUSA]

Oh how cute, the person who has slaughtered thousands of innocent lives in Iraq, has a family. How adorable, the man that lied about WMDs and started a war in order to kill thousands of innocents woman and children, has a kid himself. Wow. What's next - Hitler's adorable grandchildren and their water colors?

Jenna, and every other Bush apologist, should get their asses over to Iraq.

even though i despise her father with every cell in my body, i would still have sex with jenna in a heartbeat...

Love Ellen but she has a LOUSY show.

Can't stand those screams and claps every

seconds. Who wants to hear such silly noise?

Her audience have no "black peeps!"(maybe one

or two!)

I think is shame of her to accept those

sick stuff from her Producers.

But she's a lovely person.

[tablogloid]

Do not blame Ellen for all this. She just can't resist a bush.

[zundra]

I used to think Ellen was a good person but now I have my doubts given the company she keeps.
