worst convention speech ever?

Okay, that may be taking it a bit far, but still. Here are some choice quotes from Jenna and Barbara's speech last night:
Except maybe our Grandmother, Barbara. And, if she didn't like it, we would definitely hear about it. We already know she doesn't like some of our clothes, or music, or most of the TV shows we watch. Ganny, we love you dearly, but you're just not very hip. She thinks "Sex in the City" is something married people do, but never talk about. . .

. . .since we've graduated from college, we're looking around for something to do for the next few years ... kind of like Dad.
. . . .

But, contrary to what you might read in the papers... our parents are actually pretty cool. They do know the difference between mono... and Bono. When we tell them we're going to see Outkast, they know it's a band... and not a bunch of misfits. And, if we really beg them, they will even 'Shake it Like a Polaroid Picture'.

Barbara and Jenna's speech

Compare this one to Alexandra Kerry's or Vanessa Kerry's speeches. Or course, the Kerrys do have the advantage of age and maturity.

I don't care much for the Bush girls period, unrelated to their father's administration. But I think if you are going to make these girls get up in front of a televised convention, watched and critiqued by many, then you should by all means help them write their speech! Good night, I don't know who approved that speech, but it was definitely not written for prime-time. You know it's bad when FoxNews agrees.
