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:

She's gorgeous. She looks just like you.

Posted by: prettyinpink at August 31, 2007 5:16 PMI see her!
I second PIP's post, she is very pretty, and I won't let my dislike for Karl Rove overshadow that!
:-)
Posted by: JKeller at August 31, 2007 5:22 PMGood grief - Karl Rove....
But your daughter is indeed very pretty.

Posted by: Doug at August 31, 2007 5:25 PMMy, 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.

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!"
Posted by: JKeller at August 31, 2007 5:39 PMwow, 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.
Posted by: jasper at August 31, 2007 5:56 PMA very lovely young woman. I bet you miss her!
Posted by: Sally at August 31, 2007 6:04 PMleave 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?
Posted by: Andrew at August 31, 2007 9:35 PMAw, 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.
Posted by: Jill Stanek at September 1, 2007 4:10 AMGo Daena!!
Posted by: Heather at September 1, 2007 12:02 PMI'm reminded of Belinda Carlyle, of the Go-Go's.

Posted by: Doug at September 3, 2007 2:44 PMOn second though, more like Belinda Carlisle, of the Go-Go's.
I had even looked it up before the previous post... sigh.
