COME ON, PEOPLE
Sign Up!

From Salon (“Jenna? Barbara? Your War is Waiting”):

Scott McClellan was asked at a White House press briefing whether any members of the Bush family are currently serving in the Armed Forces.

McClellan didn’t know the answer [!], but unless the White House can drag up some previously unknown second cousin twice removed -- and stranger things have happened -- we’re betting that we do. First daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush seem to have plenty of time on their hands, but they haven’t seen fit to enlist just yet. Jeb Bush’s handsome young son, George P., would like fine in desert camouflage, but he hasn’t signed on. As for Jeb’s daughter, Noelle Bush? She might have a hard time getting through even the pretty lax standards enforced by some Army recruiters today.

I think the Virgin Ben’s phone is ringing.
