Flashback: Jenna Bush Wedding Draws Minimal Coverage, Complaint From Couric

In 2008, when President George W. Bush's daughter Jenna was wed, her decision to have the ceremony in Crawford, TX drew a gentle complaint from CBS News Anchor Katie Couric. Hardly the fawning coverage surrounding former-President Bill Clinton's daughter Chelsea's wedding today.

petty and shameless.

AmericanParch   August 1st, 2010 - 12:28 am

My wife and I were discussing Chelsea's wedding and it's expenses and this is what we came up with:

1) Overpriced cake…lasts one night and bride and groom will never remember.
2) Overpriced ceremony… lasts one night and bride and groom will never remember
3) Overpriced reception… lasts one night and bride and groom will never remember
4) Overpriced food… lasts one night and bride and groom will never remember
5) Cost for the whole party ,,, $5M (source: http://www.americanparchment.com )

Comes out to the equivalent to an overpriced whore (one night stand).

India helped FBI trace ISI-terrorist links
While the Pakistani Inter Services Public Relations claimed that former ISI director-general Lt-Gen Mahmud Ahmad sought retirement after being superseded on Monday, the truth is more shocking. Top sources confirmed here on Tuesday, that the general lost his job because of the ‘evidence’ India produced to show his links to one of the suicide bombers that wrecked the World Trade Centre. The US authorities sought his removal after confirming the fact that $100,000 were wired to WTC hijacker Mohammed Atta from Pakistan by Ahmad Umar Sheikh at the instance of Gen Mahumd.

I don't care how much money they spent on crap–that's capitalism in action,.

What I do care about is the bride (who works at a hedge fund) campaigned on behalf of her mother, who routinely denounces "greedy" "rich Republicans."

And Democrat voters lap it all up. They're too stupid to realize they're being played.

rednewyork   August 1st, 2010 - 12:43 am

Katie, please, just shut up.

Brer_Rabid   August 1st, 2010 - 12:52 am

This idiot still has a job? I didn't know that! I haven't watched TV in over 9 years! I swear!

Let's try to think logically for a minute Katie (knowing full well you have no abilities to do so) After eight years of you mind-numbed libtard robots attacking her entire family, you want Jenna to have her wedding in the middle of that festering swamp (which Piglosi said she'd drain)? Just to please you pukes in the media? I think not.

She went down to Crawford where there wasn't access to 600 deadbeat libtards to stand outside the gate screaming and burning your family in effigy. Really Katie, your stupidity defies description. And I am *good* at describing libtards!

cecil91   August 1st, 2010 - 1:03 am

Another over hyped and disengenuous Breitbart TV headline. Jenna Bush wanted a private low-key wedding. On the other hand, Chelsea's wedding has all the pomp and hype of a world-class pageant. With three million dollars the reported price tag and rumored guests to include Oprah et al., what do you expect? Reno on a visa card? Gimme a break. Bush was very unpopular so there would be protests and stuff. With Chelsea it is different. Her father embarassed the hell out of her and made her into a sympathy figure. Besides, she is homely as a mud fence. Now put all that together and you have a recipe for outpourings of compassion, hand-wringing, and sob stories up the ying-yang, all of which is manna from heaven to toughy-feely Leftist loons and the Leftist MSM paparazzi. The comparison is not even close, Breitbart.

HerculePoirot54   August 1st, 2010 - 1:04 am

Katie Couric is a joke as an anchor.
.
Jenna Bush has more class than Chelsea Clinton will ever have.
.
Let these Repressive Liberal morons have their fun, because their era is near the end.

gwar5   August 1st, 2010 - 1:06 am

Couric hates Bush and his kids and just wanted Jenna's wedding at the White House so she could have a liberal public hate fest.

gwar5   August 1st, 2010 - 1:08 am

Agree, besides isn't Chelsea a greedy hedge fund sell out, along with her investment bankster husband? Doesn't that make them liberal traitors? Shouldn't they be in the peace corp or something?

The only thing Chelsea did good was to get David Shuster of MSNBC suspended for us…… be being the target of his vitriol

iconoclastKM   August 1st, 2010 - 1:10 am

Wow…

The 'Perky One' got fat.
Must be from eating too much Obama pie.

Chameberlain   August 1st, 2010 - 1:18 am

Couric is just another leftist, a Liberal who lives her life hating people, but wants people to like her. Her ratings fall short of that..

What_what_what   August 1st, 2010 - 1:23 am

This is BS. The coverage of Jenna Bush's wedding was just as fawning as Chelsea Clinton's. Find something else to whine about rethugs.

Shiori   August 1st, 2010 - 1:26 am

Jenna – Hot

Chelsea – Not

'nuff said.

kay   July 31st, 2010 - 6:27 pm

Jenna’s wedding was reasonable. Chelsea’s wedding is extravagant…..like her parents. Flamboyant… “fit for royalty”…..the wedding Hillery never had. My My….what does Bill and Hilldog make these days?? Must be pretty lucrative if they can afford 3 million for a wedding. Hmmmm wonder what deals she made for that?

I’ve seen some pretty spectacular wedding cakes in my time…..for a eleven thousand! but holy cow!

cecil91   August 1st, 2010 - 1:54 am

For all you surface diggers, here is the difference between Jenna's and Chelsea's wedding:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/06/jenna-bu...

"Doug Wead, a former aide to President George H.W. Bush and author of a book on presidents' kin, calls Jenna's ceremony "the anti-Alice Roosevelt wedding." Former President Theodore Roosevelt's daughter was married in 1906.

That wedding took place during a time of prosperity and peace; this one at a time of economic struggle and war," Wead said. "The Roosevelt family was outgoing, flamboyant; this is a private family. That was one of the most popular presidencies in American history."

"Officially, the wedding is a private, family affair. The White House has issued no press releases"

See the difference. NO COMPARISON. Breitbart TV did a apples and oranges hype job and you dolts can't even figure it out.

PaulLThompson   July 31st, 2010 - 7:02 pm

I was not a total "Bush" fan, and never an "Obama" one, but the liberal press was relentless…..hate Bush, Hate Bush, Hate Bush…how many times, thousands….millions….billions…trillions…I lost count!

The press is liberal leaning and supports this regime and was totally against George Bush.

Maybe enough people will figure that out to send this lawless, moronic administration packing in '10 and '12.

MsDollie   August 1st, 2010 - 2:03 am

I would not begrudge either Chelsea or Jenna bliss on their wedding day …. however either defines bliss or whatever my own opinion of their wedding arrangements are.

Couric's comments are evidence she should have been named catty, not Katie.

FRW55   August 1st, 2010 - 2:06 am

In some ways I have to agree with Katie. I was disappointed that neither of the beautiful Bush girls had a White House wedding while their Dad was in office. I adore weddings and I would have enjoyed watching it on TV. I was a young teen when Tricia Nixon Cox had her lovely wedding at the White House but I still remember some of it. I can certainly understand why Jenna decided to keep her wedding very private. She and her family would have been subjected to relentless attacks from the MSM, including from Ms. Couric, I imagine. In the end, Jenna did the right thing by protecting her loved ones and keeping her big day away from the public.

Suvrec   August 1st, 2010 - 2:11 am

SickofBO   August 1st, 2010 - 2:24 am

Who cares that Chelsea got married? The question is, "Will she stay married?"

buford12345   August 1st, 2010 - 2:26 am

The reason the wedding wasnt live is because it is fake as Bill and Hillary. Bill and his entire clan need to be arrested as they come to the wedding. Obama wasnt going because he said he wasnt invited. I imagine Obama didnt go because he knows he will be arrested along with the Clintons. Hopefully he will be arrested but these serpents have special laws that all of the rest of the country doesnt. Can you imagine someone in public stealing trillions while destroying the country.

buford12345   August 1st, 2010 - 2:29 am

So your saying Huffington is a real news outlet and Breitbart isnt. We see. Your a joke.

HeReturnsSoon   August 1st, 2010 - 2:29 am

Ahhhh… 00:01:06 of Kitty Couric, MY EYES, MY EYES.

buford12345   August 1st, 2010 - 2:30 am

You are so correct. Nothing special about Chelsea. She is a snake just like her parents. Jenna is most likely a snake also because of her family but we dont know. We do know about Chelsea.

Reaganite2_0   August 1st, 2010 - 2:30 am

The irony of claiming to know the truth while posting a link from the huffingtonpost as your source is apparently too subtle. Just saying.

aliceinks   August 1st, 2010 - 2:31 am

Seriously, she is a hateful person.

buford12345   August 1st, 2010 - 2:32 am

she should be locked up for life just like her parents. Bush also. This goes for Obama and his family also. Will Obamas girls turn out to be Acorn leaders where they steal from everyone else just to keep the race war going. which daughter will get the first abortion. Has one already had an abortion since there is nothing wrong with sex or killing your baby. Their father thinks the unborn is nothing but cells.

Rick   July 31st, 2010 - 7:35 pm

Yo NYCCAN, This is a story about a wedding, NOT 9/11. Let it go, son. All your conspiracy theories have been debunked. It is time to move on in life.

She's just amazed that she got more coverage with Her LIVE rectal scope exam on The Today Show, back in the early '90s.

netstarman   July 31st, 2010 - 8:16 pm

Lets put it this way after her old man died she wanted a wedding at the white house ( AKA: Couric ). She jumps on Jenna’s wedding because it wasn’t on her reporting level. Couric is a hypocrite ,foul mouthed, Fred Munster look alike.

SuperCat   August 1st, 2010 - 3:18 am

the bush wedding wasnt hosted by the daughter of soros and the first family of leftism

true dat………

fvfdgm1   July 31st, 2010 - 9:42 pm

Hey people! Neither Jenna nor Chelsea were politicians. They supported their parents. I wish both young women nothing but the best in their marriages. Marriage is hard enough when you are not in a spotlight. It will be really hard due to their famous parents. It will always be easy to find something to criticize but not their weddings! Congratulations to both women & their families.

goldenco5   August 1st, 2010 - 4:58 am

Really, no one cares what Katie Courac thinks, as evidenced by her ratings. The Bushes have so much more class than the Clintons, and Jenna is a heck of a lot better looking than that homely Chelsea. And again, Katie, we really could care less about what you think. Do something useful with your life, like volunteering in Haiti.

HeReturnsSoon   August 1st, 2010 - 5:17 am

Jenna, Barbara and Barbara Bush are all hotter than Chelseawhatever. Kitty its time for another Colonoscopy.

tomtom200   August 1st, 2010 - 5:44 am

Maybe you need a little more make up and some lipo on your fat ugly ass.

RadarHawk   August 1st, 2010 - 5:44 am

The wedding was not about Chelsea. It was about Bill and Hillary taking center stage in the (all-to-willing) media.

YeaBrightBart   August 1st, 2010 - 5:54 am

Nothing that Jenna Bush could have done would have pleased Queen Couric. It was Jenna's special day and the liberal media politicized it because they hate her dad. Jenna looked beautiful and so does Chelsea…too bad the liberal media is so biased and didn't celebrate both weddings fairly.

HeReturnsSoon   July 31st, 2010 - 10:55 pm

George Soros "the pupet master", Aaghhh DARN i said his name.

AmericanParch   August 1st, 2010 - 6:31 am

It is funny how you automatically think we are calling either of them a whore. Actually I am happy for them. I just think that that is money that could be spent in better ways. The 'whore' comment is to the effect that you spend all this money on an event you, as the bride or groom, will barely remember. It is fun and all but is it worth all that money. I don't even know why I would need to explain it to you.

Funny my wife and I were talking about the wedding and looking at their pictures and where excited for them. At the same time we were worried about the standard this makes and the waste. True though, it is capitalism in the works and we know how much Clinton was/is a Capitalist.

Then we talked about who actually paid for the wedding, was it the Clintons or was it campaigners under another form of 'donation.' And then what that would mean if Hillary became President someday. Example: Her husband and all the Chinese money he received and the favors he did for them.

That assumption that you made of us made you the symbol you put as your icon. ASS-U-ME

Well the reason is simple. Jenna's marriage was normal, a man and a woman. This Clinton marriage I believe is the first time a Pig and a Jew every got married , so there the reason for the fracas.

Cant wait to see how they will Cover Hillary when she decides to run against BARACK.. WILL THEY TOUT her as being a COOKIE CUTTER image of him..with the SAME Agenda as barack has..???? NOPE..they will act like she is a lady MESSIAH…But will fail to mention her goals are GOVT RUN PROGRAMS for every single one of us.. BIG BROTHER takeover..

Ok, Katie, let us suppose Jenna choose a White House Wedding, how long would have taken you and the rest of the liberal media, to bash her for having the nerve to get married at the White House during a recession. This was a wedding, not some political event. Just like Chelsea, it was their day and I respect both for doing as they saw fit.
