ABC Highlights Embarrassing Moment for Bush Daughter
For the last eight years the American press honored one iron clad if
unwritten rule: Hands off
Chelsea Clinton.
In fact, the self-censorship was so strict that in 1993, when Saturday
Night Live made fun of
the-then thirteen year-old's looks, the show followed up with an
immediate apology.
But it didn't take long for the media to make it clear that the Bush
daughters won't be afforded the
same consideration.
In fact, just hours after their father had taken the oath of office,
network television cameras
captured Jenna Bush in an embarrassing dance step with her dad where
she nearly spilled out of her
strapless gown.
As the president lifted his arm to twirl the 19-year-old, his cuff-link
accidentally caught the corner
of her top.
She quickly interrupted the move before anything untoward was revealed
-- but the moment was too
juicy for ABC's "This Week" to ignore.
The next day host Sam Donaldson led his inauguration report with the
awkward clip.
"The president says he's not a very good dancer," Donaldson intoned,
"and he went about proving it
last night."
Though Jenna looked none the worse for wear afterwards, ABC's focus on
the incident suggests that
a new media standard will be applied to the Bush girls.
Gone are the days of discretion when it comes to publishing
embarrassing pictures of first family
females (which not only protected Chelsea -- but covered a revealing
picture of Hillary snapped by an
Argentine photog during a 1996 South American sojourn).
Bush daughters beware -- the media's long lenses are trained on you
during your every public moment.

1) Monday night ABC, CBS and NBC characterized Bush's abortion
order as a "controversial" decision in which he "did something to
quickly please the right flank." But eight years ago to the day
Clinton's executive orders on abortion reflected how he had
"delivered on his campaign promise" by taking non-ideological
action which demonstrated how he "keeps his word."
2) A reporter lectured Ari Fleischer: "You're not really saying
that you believe that the way to build the spirt of bi-
partisanship is by wading into the issue of abortion on day one
are you?"
3) "Pretty well clued in" is how ABC's Charles Gibson assessed 3rd
and 4th graders who he wished to could vote after they urged Bush
to do liberal things, such as: "Get rid of guns," tell companies
to "stop cutting down the trees," give the homeless the "chance to
go to college" and "just be nice to the Democrats."
4) Even George Stephanopoulos was outraged by Clinton's pardon for
fugitive Marc Rich, prompting ABC to first highlight the story on
Sunday night. NBC caught up on Monday night.
5) The national media "ought to be ashamed" of how they portrayed
John Ashcroft "as some sort of right wing radical," Brit Hume
scolded on Fox News Sunday.
6) During the Golden Globe Awards ceremony broadcast on NBC Sunday
night, actor Martin Sheen praised Jesse Jackson: "You're still our
hero, and we need you now more than ever." Actor George Clooney
used his air time to take a shot John Ashcroft.
