Baltimore married person and discriminating alcohol palate “Jenna Bush Hager,” not content to simply write another fake children’s book or pretend to teach children how to read for the rest of her life — she’s a Bush, con sarn it! — has procured herself another fake job, in a fake television show, about death. This income should be taxed at 97%: “NEW YORK – NBC’s “Today” show has hired someone with White House experience as a new correspondent — former first daughter Jenna Hager.” She worked hard to win such gainful employment, however!

Has anyone ever craved and struggled for a job so badly?

The daughter of former President George W. Bush will contribute stories about once a month on issues like education to television’s top-rated morning news show, said Jim Bell, its executive producer.

Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in Baltimore, said she has always wanted to be a teacher and a writer, and has already authored two books. But she was intrigued by the idea of getting into television when Bell contacted her.

“It wasn’t something I’d always dreamed to do,” she said. “But I think one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change.”

Whatever, liberal media leech. “I had to be open-minded about accepting an insane opportunity (that some network whore was begging me to take!) to do features every now and then, about fake things that I will simply delegate to my slaves, for a national audience.”

And so, the ranks of our popular meritocracy continue to swell. (Glenn: you forgot America’s sand-topped devil, Peter Doocy!)

I guess Jenna discovered that the spiritual rewards of teaching kids outweigh the material rewards of being a twit in the self licking ice cream cone that is the MSM. She is definitely a Bush.

“The daughter of former President George W. Bush will contribute stories about once a month on issues like which mouthwash hides puke breath best, comparisons of top hair dye brands, and how to keep your Ugz clean while torturing poor Muslins…”

fixed.

Well, at least she’s getting laid on a regular basis, unlike Barefoot Meg McCain. So she isn’t likely to start a blog and whine about how she ain’t gettin’ noah ssexx.

WadISay August 31, 2009 at 10:43 am

Jenna and Meg McCain should co-host a show “Morning, Idiots.” Topics could include how affirmative action corrupts our society.

Mild Midwesterner August 31, 2009 at 10:44 am

Gimme a break. She’s one of us now. She’s teaches public school in Baltimore for chrissakes. Before that she worked at a shelter for Mexican poors in Panama.

Excuse me, but “White House Experience”??

I think Barney actually lived at the White House longer than Jenna.

Mr Blifil August 31, 2009 at 10:53 am

I hope her first story will be about the scourge of scat porn, and that she will go Full Stossel.

CorkPopper August 31, 2009 at 10:55 am

You see, this is why a progressive tax code is, like, so totally unfair. Do you think that being open minded about having a well-compensated job handed to you is, like, as easy as cleaning offices or driving buses and stuff? FOR REALZ.

Doglessliberal August 31, 2009 at 10:55 am

(hey, Jim, it is “palate” unless you are talking about her artistic abilities, which maybe you are, what do I know?)

Affirmative Action only applies if you’re a white well connected person. Screw everyone else.

Actually, Lewis Lapham did a documentary on the “American Ruling Class” and his thesis was that the reason US America thrives it is because the ruling class takes in new members and kicks out useless ones. Well, so much for that.

[re=398631]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Right — it’s like the teabaggers’ attitude towards health insurance: “I’ve got mine. Fuck you if you’re dying or bankrupt. It’s not my problem. Haven’t got time to talk anymore, because I have to head over to the VA for dialysis.”

Thus endeth the idea of “society.”

Ah, I can’t wait for your first hard-hitting special report “Inside the Saud-Bush Family Cabal,” detailing the intimate workings of how a medieval middle-east clan dictated US military policy in their world region just about step-for-step between 1988-992 and 2000-2008 in exchange for big, BIG checks deposited straight into Swiss accounts long ago opened by Great-Grandpappy and noted Nazi sympathizer Prescott. Do that Jen-Jen (after all, didn’t Grandpappy H.W. licker you and your sister up more than once and parade you around in front of this or that Saud cousin-prince at Thanksgiving at Kennebunkport?) and produce some documents, and blow the illusion off your family’s position as America’s greatest war profiteer family, and I’ll put you right up there with Murrow. Please, Jen. Do it for us.

“…at least she’s getting laid on a regular basis, unlike Barefoot Meg McCain.”

Commander McHale has all his daughter’s suiters splayed and neutered, then sent to a Vietnamese re-education camp just like Hagar.

Sarah Palin is just such an example. Her name used to be, Dan Quayle. [snicker]

NBC, eh? J’accuse! Obviously a barefaced attempt by socialist state-run MSM to co-opt what were sure to have been the possibly prophetic future pronouncements of this scioness of a leading family of The Real America. Bleeah.

The Today Show must love people with famous last names. They hired Diana Spencer’s brother when she was marrying Prince Charles and that didn’t work out too well for anybody.

[re=398602]gjdodger[/re]: If you’d seen a picture of her husband, you wouldn’t be so sure about that. In fact, I’d guess the new job means he’s boring her already and she’s banking on Matt Lauer being available.
