OK.You spoiled this girl's vacation

They are women not girls they should be paying for their own vacations. Did Jenna meet a hunk or is she still negotiating the 92,000 acre "land trust" in Paraguay? Who holds this "land trust"? American Government or Bu$h Inc.? Would the American Embassy tell these young women to leave because they are having too much fun? Why was Jeb Bu$h and Katherine Harris secretly in Argentina a few years ago? Why did Jeb Bush eradicate most of the citrus trees in Floriduh in the phony citrus canker scam?

THE STORY-THE PICTURES OF THESE TWO PARTYING GIRLS DURING A TIME WHEN SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE LOSING LEGS, ARMS, SPINES AND BEING BLOWN UP MAKES ONE PHYSICALLY ILL. MA BUSH'S BOYS AND THEIR CHILDREN EVERY DAY REVEAL THE UTTER TRAGEDY OF LIVING IN A TIME WHEN THE WORST POSSIBLE MAN SITS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. THERE ARE JUST NO WORDS FOR THE HORROR AND AS I LOOK AT THE FACES OF THOSE GIRLS THAT'S WHAT I THINK "THE HORROR, THE HORROR."

People in Latin AMerica hate Bush, so of course this little girls are vulnerable. Why are they on vacation anyway? many young people are putting their lives on the line in Iraq!

Stop wasting your energy trying to find some way to bring down these girls. You should be ashamed of posting those three, now confirmed, erroneous "reports" from that Argentinian tabloid. Your readers believe there is an extreme case of jealousy on your part.

Alot of people commenting on the blotter yesterday ("US Embassy asks Bush Twins to Leave Country") seem to just be commenting on "our tax dollars" being "wasted" to provide security....and calling the twins "spoiled brats" and such. I would like to point out that the twins MUST be provided security-- who among you would like to see our President being black-mailed into something in order to get his daughters back alive after being kidnapped by terrorists? I voted for Bush, I am disappointed and disillusioned by his decisions, but he is still our President. His children need protection- all the President's immediate family get Secret Service protection- that's the way it has been for many many years. So GET OVER IT, people! Chelsea got protection.....Amy Carter got protection.....just the way it should be.

Jenna is now in Puerto Madryn and plans to travel Patagonia, a local newspaper reports

Looks like your report was wrong yesterday about the twins being asked to leave. I wonder if the part about the ABC producer approaching the twins was made up too?

I do have to agree with those who point out the inappropriate-ness of frolicing fem fatals in South America while otherwise loyal and brave service men and women are eating meals-ready-to-eat overseas. It is, after all, their birthday celebration, but I do agree with Mari that it does may seem inappropriate to many.

As for "hating" Bush, that is a matter of personal opinion. I am a proud voting Republican. And like Dan and Mary, I find it impossible to embrace all that has taken place from that Oval Office since 9-11. But, what is, is.

And, finally, as for ABC News, using a critical thinking approach to collecting data and information from reliable sources, is hard enough without getting it wrong. But, please make every effort to get it right the first time. It's really really hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube!

I think it is horrific that they are traveling and celebrating at all!!! As we are all aware, it was "Daddy" whom has put all the other American parents thru hell with this war and he dares to allow press on how his precious daughters are celebrating a birthday. Only tends to add another nail in his what would be by now a million yard box!!!!

They should both be fighting in Iraq

Who really cares? Maybe we should get Nancy Grace on the case.

The Bush twins party while our son's and daughter's are enduring hardships in Iraq! The Bush twins could be helping their country's and our soldiers' moral and their father's popularity by visiting our wounded soldiers in Army hospitals and V.A. hospitals.
But if the Bush twins served in the military they might have to get dirty. If they visited military hospitals they might have to look at disfigured men.

I think it is very sad that so many of you think that just because these girls are the daughters of the President of the United States that they should not be able to "Vacation" or have their own lives. I am a George Bush fan and supporter, and frankly you people have nothing better to do than bash these girls who are out celebrating their 25th Birthday. Is this any different than these celebrties out showing their privates around (Brittney Spears / Paris Hilton) and whomever else to try to get your attention. Why is it okay for these celebrities (whom your young son our daughter may really admire)to act inappropriate but the President's daughters cannot go on a vacation just because our country is "at war"? Ask yourself that! All of our young people now days who are on television or singing on your radio are having a good time why not the Bush twins? Because their father chose to run for Presidency and win so they should be sheltered and not go away? They should sit at home because we are at war? Do you sit home and not go away or do anything because we are at war? The rest of us have to go on with our lives here in the states, but our job is to be supportive of our troops and President and country!!

Are the Bush daughters vulnerable? Well I'd venture to guess if they weren't before, they are now after the purse-snatching. Who knows what contacts are in that cell phone? Let's not blame the Secret Service. The Bush daughters are young and probably by request the Secret Service tries to remain invisible when they're out eating. Which is probably how the purse was stolen in the first place. Also, let us not hate the twins for enjoying their 25th birthday while our young men are fighting a war... have you stopped living because others are losing their lives? Think about it.

The fruit does'nt fall far from the tree....daddy and mommy don't care...why should baby's...Party on..."the revolution will not be televised" (old school)

Just to clarify some information. 1) Argentina has been a haven for most of our Presidents and families for many generations. 2) Whether we agree with their father's position or not (I never have) a family member of any of our presidents has always been deemed of utmost important for security reasons. Our service people deserve all our prayers and attention and if you ask them, as individuals or as a whole, they would also risk their lives for the twins. 3) Let's not forget that the 25 year old twins are working woman (whether you agree with it or not) and are entitled to vacation. And 4) ABC's reporter needs to answer to security for his handling of this story. By the way, Argentina's press (which I read often) handled the story with less sensationalism than how our media has handled.

While I am not a Bush fan and I did not vote for Bush I have to laugh at some of the comments made here. How many of you criticizing these girls have got kids in the military or ever served yourself? Have any of you celebrated any events with friends or family since the Iraq war started?? Did you enjoy yourselves? How dare you!

You can't blame the twins for the actions of their father. If your father raped/murdered someone does that make you responsible? Should you pay the price for his mistakes?

By the way, I did serve in the military and I have lost friends in the defense of our country. I don't blame these young girls and I don't think that they should stop living their lives to please people who hate them no matter what they do.

Alright, first off, we volunteered to enter the service, these ladies did not, so the fact that they are taking a vacation is their right, even those of us in the military get leave, so I do not understand why everyone is getting upset... it confounds me.

i love those girls i love girls im a girl

This is news? Two vacuous bimbos? Should I be annoyed that they have a good time in Argentina? Should I care? What concerns me is that the media here (and not just ABC) make such a big deal out of absolutely nothing.

Why should we care what these girls are doing? My son is in Iraq, he chose to join the Marines and I am proud of him, but I dare anyone to criticize what he is doing. Not all young people are cut out for combat.
We should all stop being so judgmental, I'm sure that Barbara and Jenna will get down to something constructive very soon. I can't see that there parents would have it any other way.

When y'all going to leave the children of the president alone? I don't care WHOSE prez, wheather it be a Democratic Clinton or a Republican Bush...can you please leave the children alone and let them have some peace? They don't need to pay for the faux pas of their parents. THANK YOU.

I'm just thankful Bush's daughters aren't standing by their father's side or donning fatigues for a photo op, all in an attempt to put a pretty face on his BS. The twins aren't cooperating, and whether it's because they just really like to party or because they hate their dad's politics, either way, they're not being "good" first daughters and I'm glad.
It certainly would be good politics for the twins to be in Iraq -- doing some sort of feel-good "hearts and minds" stuff... oh, you know, like giving out Jolly Ranchers to Iraqi children whose houses were just bombed. Of course, if the family as a whole really had their public-persona act together, then sure, the twins should be serving in the military. Reality is, they're a security issue, etc. so I wouldn't blame them for being put in some low-risk position. But at least it would show an effort toward non-hypocrisy on W's part -- the idea that he's willing to send his own children to war. Remember, though, that the twins are 25. Their dad can't force them to enlist.
I admire them for not functioning as tools of their father's agenda. If W was my dad, I too would probably be out drinking & partying to get away from it all. Well, in addition to that I'd probably grab as much of my inheritance as I could and use it to run for office as a Green or a Democrat in Texas or Uncle Jeb's Florida.

these two are poor examples of young privliged rich punks. born on 3rd base, think they hit a home run when they touch home plate. they have right to party with their inherited wealth, but do the taxpayers have to subsidise it?

I agree that the US Government has to protect Mr. Bush's daughters. but they shouldnt be permitted to leave the United States unless they are on official U.S. business or serving in the military, OR paying for their own security. There are perfectly lovely places to vacation here in the States, and even Hawaii is much less expensive, much less of a logistical nightmare, and much more secure than Argentina.

I would like to know who is paying for the girls vacations? If they pay their way, who cares were they go. If taxpayers pay for secruity, then they should not compromise their safety and the safety of our country because they want to vacation outside of the U.S. On the subject of being a role model for other young people. They aren't doing a very good job of it. Not all President child do what they are suppose to do to keep out of the media's eyes. Reagan children for one. So, live and let live.

Dear uneducated,

There are too many of you to list.

It's a voluntary military! Get over your whinny, why didn't they joint mantra.

The anti-bush haters are alive and well it seems. Apparantly in their little minds, ALL Bush Administration officials and their families (kids included) should be 1)in the military, at the front lines 2) be NOT having ANY fun while someone else's kids are overseas fighting in Iraq . I notice that Chelsea Clinton, Amy Carter never went in the military? Chelsea goes to Stanford at govt expense, then right out of college gets a six figure income in an investment firm in NY. The amount of "family overseas tours" by Hilliary and Chelsea (neither elected officials at the time) were more than double or triple the ones taken by family members during the previous 3 administrations. Kerry and Algore, THEIR families didnt go into the military. Kerry's daughter didnt even bother to join the USO tours. Kennedy of course has NO family near the military and never will. So lets get it on level playing field here ok?

The reason why it seems that there are many Bush-haters on the forum is the fact that only 28% of the country still supports his dry-drunk presidency. For it is Bush himself who has disrespected the office of Presidency by FAILING in his duty as Commander in Chief.

It is simply a natural statistical probability that this occurs on such forums.

The story is the twins vacationing in South America. Their father is claiming that we are in a "world-wide war against terror that will require the sacrifice of every American"

I thought the Bush twins were US citizens but I could be mistaken.

As more and more families get that knock on the door with that man in uniform notifying them of their son or daughter or mother or fathers death,(and 15 more did in the last two days) the GOP
Neo-"Con" loyalists will only isolate themselves to obscurity.

To be sure, the military is voluntary. That means there is nothing stopping all the Neo-"Con" apologists from signing up and fighting the "enemy" whoever, that is.
One question begs to be asked.
"How many US soldiers and Marines have been killed or maimed by sectarian violance as opposed to being killed or maimed by Al-Qaeda ?

The fact is, the Bush twins don't deserve to be blamed for the bad judgement exercised by their father.
As for Chelsea, and Amy, their fathers did not start a war and ask every American to join a world-wide war against terror. Then, constantly fear-monger the American populace. Nor did they promote hatred of the United States by displaying an arrogance not seen since (insert the name of any dictator here)

The people of the United States have spoken. Who's whining now!!
