LOOKS LIKE KAMI AND KARLI HAVE SOME COMPETITION: Sadly, I was stuck at the office last night and did not get to watch either C-SPAN or the Race at its regular time. But judging from the transcript, perhaps Jenna and Barbara Bush's speech last night should have been accompanied by the Official Bumbling Twins Theme Music (tm Adam). Among the bon mots offered by the first daughters on national television?

"She [former first lady Barbara Bush] thinks Sex and the City is something married people do, but never talk about."

"Besides, since we've graduated from college, we're looking around for something to do for the next few years. Kind of like dad."

"I know it's hard to believe, but our parents' favorite term of endearment for each other is actually Bushy. And we had a hamster, too. Let's just say ours didn't make it."

"Our parents are actually kind of 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'll even shake it like a Polaroid picture."

But perhaps this wasn't sanctioned, for as Jenna said:

"You know all those times when you're growing up and your parents embarrass you? Well, this is payback time on live TV."

Between this, the "economic girlie men" remark, and the revelation of Jessica Cutler that she's a registered Republican, perhaps not the best day. At least Vanessa Kerry only inadvertently wore that see-through dress.
