Jenna Bush, Author?

In a move sure to aggravate unagented (and poorly agented) authors, Jenna Bush has scored a high-powered literary agent — Robert Barnett.  So, what’s the subject of Jenna’s masterpiece?  Barnett has been shopping her “young-adult book based on the former grade school teacher’s experiences with charity causes in Latin America” to New York publishers.  Oh, goody!  (Via PoliticalWire)

Jenna Bush, Author?
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A Bush twin (not Barb, but the other)
Is shopping a kid’s book. Oh, brother!
Can Jenna Bush write?
Do her verbal skills bite?
Let us hope she takes after her mother.

    Jeez, Mad, that’s awful. No, of course, not your limerick… that’s perfect, and right on target, as usual. I mean Jenna’s pretense of being an author; that’s what’s awful. Good grief.

    OT, have you run across watertiger’s post and photo titled “Sittin’ in the Dock at the Hague”? A few dozen posts down the comment thread, darkblack fleshes it out with a very respectable parody of the obvious Otis Redding song.

    Thanks, Steve. And no, I’ll have to check out that post.

    I thought she never got a teaching job because she didn’t meet daddies No Child Left Behind qualifications?

  4. madkane Says:

    Tim, I too recall reading some time ago that Jenna graduated with an education degree, but was working at a teacher’s aide level because of a qualificaitons shortfall. So either she subsequently became a full-fledged teacher, or USNews.com got it wrong.

    The Carnival of Satire (#63)…

    Welcome to The Carnival of Satire at The Skwib. We have a fine selection of satire this week, ranging from social etiquette, to politics, to nose-picking. (Though some may argue those last two are the same thing.) We hope you enjoy all the gold-lass…

    Sounds like sour grapes to me. What about all of the book deals for the Clintons, the Carters - and all of that. With celebrity (in any sort) comes opportunity. Book publishers know that the “buzz” alone will sell enough books to make them money - regardless of what the book is about. Too bad you liberals never see your own hypocrisy.
