Drudge has a brief write-up of what just happened...

MTV, ROLLING STONE and the rock and roll establishment -- past and present -- have cast their vote, and their man is John Kerry.

So on Sunday night when John Kerry's daughters were announced to speak at the annual MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS, the MTV youth were expected to welcome his daughter's as pop culture princesses.

Instead, in an era of the unexpected, the daughters of the Democratic candidate were met with a resounding wall of boos at the filming in Miami.

From the moment Alexandra and Vanessa started speaking, the boos outweighed anything close to cheers, and the reaction turned worse when the daughters asked the VIACOM youth to vote for their father. So shocked by the reaction, the taller of the two daughters tried to 'shhhhhh' her peers to no avail.

[LoganCharles]

That's awesome. I especially like the part that the boos got louder when they said vote for my father. So what has John Kerry done for Miami? Pretty damn cynical that MTV thinks they can pull this crap and how much smarter their audience really is. They might as well had Janet Jackson expose her tw*t and make some crude "Bush" joke.

[greenamp]

HA!

[greenamp]

I just read on fox news, who simply called their appearance "awkward" and mentioned nothing about jeers, that the Bush daughters also appeared via satelite. Im curious what the crowds reaction was to them?

At least the one is wearing some clothes this time. Otherwise they look pretty well groomed. If I didn't know that John Kerry was their father I'd probably imagine the two doing porn together....

Anyway it does appear that the one girl is doing the "ssshhh" thing with her finger so I assume there was some jeering.

Dude, with noses like that, it's impossible for them NOT to be his daughters.

[Spliffdaddy]

Edwards has a daughter, Cate (with a 'c', lol). She's the one on the right. That's John's wife (Cate's mom) on the left.

ack.

[LoganCharles]

At least the Bush twins have that girl next door quality about them, not hot but pretty enough.

I saw Heinz-Kerry on C-SPAN the other night. She was doing some sort of domestic abuse special. She actually looked like an victim herself with her shaded Tootsie glasses and figity demeanor. She has zero on camera appeal. Thankfully her and John won't ever have kids together.

What's up with democrates and their crappy tastes in women. I don't really mean to diss Heinz-Kerry nor Edwards wife because I don't really know the two. I guess Edward's wife seems nice enough. We'll never find out though....

What about the one in the middle? She's got John Boy's smug grin.

So this is "political" discussion among right-wingers when they're alone in the sandbox?

Explains a lot, I guess.

[Randman]

Regardless of one's political inclination, I think it's a positive mood by younger people showing that they're not going to take such overtly manipultive actions no matter who it's from.

[greenamp]

I guess MTV will think twice before they have their political music awards show in the south again, lol.

I wish they would just stick to music.

Hi pot, I'm kettle.

[voodoo]

Well I am glad the Miami youth has the integrity and confidence to boo at presidential candidate John Kerry's daughters when they ask their peers to vote for their father. At least they have an opinion - no matter how odd it is.

Well, yeah, in all fairness, there is that "Bush or Chimp" thing for the left...

oh...so basically MTV's audience(teenage girls and idol wannabes) booes the Kerry girls ?...was it like the 400,00 people booing Bush in NYC ?.... just wondering

[typoon]

After I read that write up on Drudge I thought to myself that there is still hope for America's Youth. They haven't been totally corrupted by the liberals on the left.

oh, thx. but not half as classy as jenna herself.

[soul searching]

What? I watched this last night and there was no booing. WTF? There was just a lot of cheering/yelling. The girl is definitely shhh'ing them, but that's because the other girl could not get started due to all the noise. By the time the Bush sisters came on it was pretty quiet.

And don't blame MTV as they did a good thing, in my opinion. I mean, it's not like they picked a side. Sure both set of sisters promoted their dad, respectively, but the most important message that they gave was, basically, don't just sit on your ass, go vote!

EDIT: I'm watching the local news right now and they're saying that both set of sisters were boo'ed because the crowd wanted more music and less politics. Maybe I'm going deaf

[zigzag]

Drudge is such a reliable source. Turns out that the jeering occurred as soon as both the Bush twins and the Kerrys were introduced - for all we know, it was directed at the Bushes. Sounds to me like it was an honest effort to get both sides in front of the audience and encourage them to support the candidate of their choice.

"It was unclear exactly whom the cheers and the boos were meant for or why. They began immediately after radio and MTV personality Carson Daly introduced "from New York, Barbara and Jenna Bush and here in Miami, Vanessa and Alexandra Kerry."

I was thinking the same thing. Pretty impressive, isn't it?

[greenamp]

MTV clearly leans to the left. If the boos were clearly for the Bush girls, and clearly NOT for the Kerry girls, the booing would not have been dubbed out (there was a 2-3 second tape delay on the live feed), that you can rest assured.

I honestly hope though, that the boos were for the politics in general. That way maybe MTV and others like it will realize that politics and entertainment don't mix.

I seek out entertainment to escape and relax from the seriousness of life, not be reminded of it.

Yeah this convo is just soo political isn't it

After reading this thread, it occurs to me that this forum is populated by a plethora of 14 year olds.

Then it occurs to me that it should have occured to me long ago.

That's very mature of you to say.

FYI, you won't last very long around here with that kind of attitude.

Kerry, Bush daughters booed on MTV

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Reaching out to young Americans at MTV's Video Music Awards Sunday night, the daughters of President Bush and his Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry were met by loud cheers and jeers.

It was unclear exactly whom the cheers and the boos were meant for or why. They began immediately after radio and MTV personality Carson Daly introduced "from New York, Barbara and Jenna Bush and here in Miami, Vanessa and Alexandra Kerry."

The Kerry daughters were at the event in Miami; the Bush daughters appeared in a pre-recorded video.

"My sister and I are thrilled to be here tonight with you all in Florida," said Vanessa Kerry, "and to get this chance to suggest that you get involved in this election and vote -- and hopefully that you vote for our father."

MTV cameras showed some audience members apparently giving the women a standing ovation, but the mixture of boos and cheers continued.

Alexandra Kerry added that millions of young Americans can help determine the November election, "but we appreciate that in our democracy people are free to feel differently about who they vote for."

The Kerry daughters then turned around to watch, along with the MTV audience, the video of the Bush daughters.

"Hey Alexandra and Vanessa, and hey to everyone at the VMAs," said Barbara Bush.

"Jenna and I really wish we could be there, but we're in New York this week to support our dad and, as you might have guessed, we want to suggest that you vote for him in November." (Special report: America Votes 2004, the Republican convention)

Jenna Bush said, "We can all agree on the importance of voting."

MTV's broadcast turned down sounds of the audience during the playing of the video, but the vocal audience could still be heard.

The Bush twins are 22 years old. Vanessa Kerry is 27; Alexandra turns 31 on Sunday.

The boos seemed to die down and cheers took their place toward the end of the segment, when the Kerry daughters took back the floor and encouraged people to support victims of Hurricane Charley, which devastated portions of Florida earlier this month.

Vanessa Kerry said, "Despite our differences, we all agree this election and this process are important. And we all agree that all of us are part of a greater American family."

Speaking to CNN afterward, Vanessa Kerry said the booing had "scared" her, but added, "We're fighting for something so strongly, I will go up there and hear the whole arena boo if it means connecting with one person."

She also said it was "surreal" to appear at the VMAs, known for having one of the most energetic and responsive crowds of any awards show.

Yeah, it only took CNN 15 hours to come up with this version of events. It only seems more plausible because that is the version you want to be true.

Here's another report that I'm sure you won't like...

A follow-up to Sunday night's article on John Kerry's Daughters recieving boos from the MTV Video Music Award crowd.

After seeing the show broadcast live, then watching the re-broadcast of the show, many are cryin gfoul as it seems that MTV has dubbed over, or edited out many of the boos the daughters recieved.

Not only that, but now CNN is trying to report that the boos were meant for both the Kerry AND Bush daughters._ While the Bush daughters may have recieved boos, viewers could not hear them due to the fact that their appearance was made via satelite.

CNN said that some audience members gave a "standing ovation"... which is odd considering the fact that most of the individuals were standing throughout the entire program... they had to... they were standing room only seats...

Many are trying to use this event to claim that individuals at the event thought that when the Kerry daughters were announced, the Bush daughters were going to come out. If so, the audience is not only dumb and deaf, but blind as well.

juiceenewsdaily.com? That bastion of reputable reporting, bringing to the public attention tidbits like this and this. Stick to drudge. It's more credible

Well, the pit is standing room only since they're the ones that give the "concert-look" when artists are performing. The stars, however, all have seats as do some the regular joes on the balcony. I do remember the camera taking a shot of the crowd cheering/screaming/and apparently boo'ing when the ladies came on stage, and while these folks were standing, I don't know what members of of the crowd they were or where they were seating/standing.
