THE WORLD Bush twins quit the boozing to help dad May 24, 2004 NEW YORK: George W. Bush's daughters, 22-year-old twins Barbara and Jenna, are better known for their underage drinking busts than their love of politics. Asked once whether she was a Republican, Barbara is said to have made a face, rolled her eyes and replied: "I really wouldn't label myself that." On a visit to Paris, Jenna let slip that she was against the bombing of Afghanistan. It is a measure of student hostility to the Bush administration that the US President and his wife Laura decided not to attend the twins' graduation ceremonies. Jenna received her English degree in Texas on Saturday and Barbara will collect hers in humanities at Yale today. Yet the daughters will be loyally joining Bush's re-election campaign. "While they are not very political people, they want to do something to help their dad out," a spokesman for Mrs Bush said yesterday. "Their exact roles have not yet been determined. But first they'll be taking a little time off, as most graduates like to do." Pretty and ebullient, they might prove useful counterpoints to John Kerry's daughters Vanessa, a 27-year-old medical student, and Alexandra, 30, a filmmaker who paraded bra-less at the Cannes festival in a see-through dress. Barbara is to be an intern at a children's AIDS program in Houston while Jenna is moving to Manhattan to dabble in public relations. Ann Gerhart, author of The Perfect Wife, a new biography of Mrs Bush, said Republicans would be keen to have the twins on board. "The Sex and the City vote is really unrepresented," she said. "Single young women are the least likely group to vote for their father. They'd really like to have a pair of attractive hip twins to speak up for him." The Sunday Times, AFP theaustralian.news.com.au
