Who’s Your Daddy?
OK, we’ve been having some fun with Jenna’s possible pregnancy. And now we’re going to have MORE fun.
Like the folks at Wonkette, it was my understanding that Jenna and Henry Hager broke up in 2005. Wonkette places November 2005 as near the end for the two lovebirds.
I remember having quite a chuckle over Jenna’s new guy, Ramiro González Palazzo the unemployed Argentine who was impressed with her credit cards in December 2006: I recall that while the twins were asked to leave Argentina, Jenna stuck around through Christmas. This seems to be missing from the current narrative
As they graduated from college, however, the twins shed their cloak of secrecy and took on more prominent roles in their father’s political life, appearing with him frequently at campaign events. And with greater maturity, the stories of their hard-driving social lives began to diminish.
“It’s been a while since the twins truly cut loose in public,” the Washington Post gossip column, “The Reliable Source,” lamented in June 2006. Jenna Bush’s “more recent outings, though slavishly chronicled in this column, have been far more subdued — weekend dinners at nice restaurants, shopping trips, and a Richmond 10K with ‘Sister.’ “
Emphasis mine: December’s drama, in which the twins were asked to leave Argentina, no small thing, is clearly missing. In my 37 years, I’ve barely been asked to leave a bar, never mind a town or a city. You’d think getting 86-ed from an entire country would be kind of a big deal, wouldn’t you?
So let’s get trace our steps. She broke up with Henry in 2005. She had a well-publicized relationship (I am using the term loosely, though “fling” is probably a better word) in Argentina in December 2006: no one knows when she and Ramiro split up. We’re approaching September 2007, 9 months or so after Jenna’s Argentine Adventure, and the young woman’s not only swelling up like Violet Beauregarde, she’s marrying the guy she supposedly broke up with in 2005? Yet, in describing this “longtime boyfriend” who is “often seen at Jenna Bush’s side at family Bush functions and formal events”, the only example provided is from 2005 (the samae event is described in the LA Times article I cite). You’d think there’d be something more recent than that.
Does that sound right to you?
Occam’s Razor.

gawd, i hope you’re right – and it’s always irresponsible not to speculate.
poor henry seems like enough of a koolaid drinker to take one for the team like that – perhaps he’ll be getting a plum private sector job with his old mentor karl as payment.
