Jenna Bush, the daughter of President George W. Bush and his wife Laura, is getting married soon.

Her parents are probably feeling alternately weepy and elated.

The First Twins were  the punchlines of many late night TV talk show jokes because they were photographed in the tabloids smokin' and drainkin' and carryin' on in Texas shortly after their father was elected President. 

Since then, both young women have become models of propriety, one a teacher (Jenna) in the poorest of D.C.'s schools, and the other (Barbara) becoming an advocate for AIDS research while living in Africa.

Chelsea Clinton, who is on leave to campaign for her mother, is a Hedge Fund manager for the country's wealthiest millionaires and billionaires.

The life Chelsea has chosen stands in stark contrast to the rhetoric from the former first Family (we have to help the little people!) and the current occupants of the White House (serving the rich at the expense of the poor!)

It didn't exactly turn out that way, did it?

Congratulations to Jenna Bush in her upcoming nuptials to Henry Hager.

I hear that Barbara Bush has a serious boyfriend. Maybe there will be double the happiness for Mr. and Mrs. Bush in the days ahead.
