The Bush Twins Audition for Broadway

I have always had mixed feelings about the Bush twins, even now during their rumored extradition from Argentina. (The Peronists would never have even thought of asking Bushes to leave.) They didn't ask to be the daughters of a president. Then again they should behave like adults. They're about to turn 25, which means they're older than Monica Lewinsky was when she was delivering pizza to the Oval Office. They're grownups now.

I met the Bush twins during Inauguration Week in January 2005 and my mixed feelings only got more mixed. Hard-partying Jenna (of New York Post "Jenna and Tonic" fame) seemed intoxicatingly fun. She was friendly and had an easy laugh. Barbara, the supposedly demure art student from Yale, was darker, though, almost mean. She stood alone. I walked over to her, extended my hand - and she just looked at it. I wasn't offended. How many times had she been hurt before?

Then it occurred to me: Jenna and Barbara would be perfect co-starring in a production of the Broadway musical Wicked. Blond Jenna as the daffy "good witch" Glinda. Brooding brunette Barbara as the "wicked witch" Elphaba, who of course is not all bad. (If the Bush twins can't actually sing, all the better. The songs are kind of overwrought. It would be a relief to hear someone talk through them Robert Preston-style.)

It's actually a fun distraction from the horrors of war in Iraq to cast Broadway musicals with Bush family members and cabinet members. What would you like to see? Vote now!
