Is Jenna Bush really fair game for Trudeau to mock?

I thought the media has a tacit agreement to lay off the children of
the President as long as they stay out of the limelight.


You mean, like when Rush Limbaugh, in his short-lived TV show, referred to
Chelsea Clinton as "The White House dog"?
(I don't really think you mean that, I'm just providing a reality-check.)



The Jenna &
Barbara Bush drinking non-story happened years ago and as far as a
recall, both ladies have stayed below the radar since then.


True that they've stayed below the radar, and that the non-story status is
questionable not in its own right, but only because of the hypocrisy of her
father and his buddies' self-proclaimed status as emissaries of God.

Tommy Chong has to go to prison for selling novelty glassware, but it's OK
that our president is a cokehead and a drunkard (because now he says he
loves Jesus), OK that his VP is a twice-convicted drunk driver, and OK that
his own daughters illegally consumed a controlled liquid. It's not about the
kids -- it's about the phony adults and their hypocritical pandering.

But that's all beside the point. In this context, I think the joke was based
only on Jenna being King George's daughter, not on any insult to her
personally.


Seems like a cheap shot by Trudeau just to make a poor punchline.


[shrug] Eh....it wasn't very funny, nor very offensive.
