Some of you have been following our daughter Daena’s fledgling career move to DC earlier this summer. She just called and is in an AP photo bidding farewell to Karl Rove about an hour ago. She’s in the lower right hand corner, above the two little American flags:

Well, since my earlier days, that’s a long time ago, and, my God, people barely talked about it. I mean, enlightened people might, I won’t even lay that on them.
I would say the people who were more conscious or more aware might discuss it or make that choice or whatever, but, most people, it was a secret… and the subject was taboo.
I’m talking about back in the 60s and 70s, in general society, although, that’s not really the absolute thrust of this movie. It’s more about our relationships.
So, yes, I think it’s much more open, as everything is.

She’s gorgeous. She looks just like you.
She’s very pretty! You must be very proud. [Not going to talk about my loathing for Rove. No politics!]
I see her!
I second PIP’s post, she is very pretty, and I won’t let my dislike for Karl Rove overshadow that!
:-)
Good grief – Karl Rove….
But your daughter is indeed very pretty.

My, my, I’m proud of you, PIP and JK. Thanks for letting me share and enjoy my daughter’s fun moment in political peace… :)
And thanks for your kind words, all.
No problem, Jill
I have occasionally been seen on national television at college basketball games and my mom will call me and say “Hey I saw you on TV!”
wow, that’s neat Jill.
I like Karl Rove too, a great advisor to the president. He will be missed. The MSM was never fair to him.
A very lovely young woman. I bet you miss her!
leave it to Jasper to pollute an otherwise fine thread.
Jill, I’m glad your daughter is getting the chance to see inside Washington. It’s a wonderful experience. During the Clinton administration, my daughters and I had the wonderful opportunity to have a private tour of the West Wing (not by the President unfortunately) and I still treasure a photo I took of my oldest at the podium in the Press Rooom pretending to brief the press.
So, when can we expect Ms. Stanek to run for office?
Aw, Andrew. We have yet to see whether that’s something that interests her. Right now she’s looking at continuing her education, but she’s not sure in what area.
Go Daena!!
I’m reminded of Belinda Carlyle, of the Go-Go’s.
Doug
On second though, more like Belinda Carlisle, of the Go-Go’s.
I had even looked it up before the previous post… sigh.
