Meghan McCain, First Daughter in Hoping, is trying to emulate incumbent First Daughter Jenna Bush by publishing a children's book of her own. Savvy blogger and Columbia-trained journalist Meghan has written an illustrated biography of her father. Simon & Schuster will release the book in September. Congratulations, Meghan!
This time they're in Maui, and what's eerie is how much she looks like her Mom in this beach photo.
... and the First Daughter wasn't talking about Japanese horror movies and X-men. Back from her European honeymoon, she described her father getting choked up and her mother's reaction to a storm that hit the ranch the day before the Wedding:
"It was a slight disaster," Jenna said of a storm that caused part of the wedding tent to blow away a day before the reception, getting everything wet and toppling the band's set-up for the next day.
"We named my mom, although she's not this...she may kill me afterwards, 'Mommy-Zilla,'" said Jenna, explaining how her mother helped repair the preparations that had been compromised. "Well, just cause I didn't really care. And thank goodness she was 'Mommy-Zilla' because she did everything. Is that mean?"
Laura laughed and jokingly said, "Yeah. I'm insulted."
Blogger Andrew Romano of Newsweek guesses that Jenna might be interested in learning about one candidate in particular -- Senator Barack Obama, joining a bunch of other First Daughter alums like Susan Eisenhower and Julie Nixon.
Only 200 guests are coming.
Only one bridesmaid will attend the bride -- her twin sister.
The mother of the bride didn't hire a wedding coordinator.
The First Daughter is keeping things simple for her May 10th wedding, and the Austin-American Statesman reports that she and Henry are settling in Baltimore, Maryland where they've bought a 128-year old house for less than $500,000.
Jenna's definitely doing things her way, and Sparrow wishes her all the happiness in the world.
The First Daughter is speaking today about Ana's Story here in Dallas for the HUGE Texas Library Association's Annual Convention. Hey, Jenna -- stop by the Penguin booth this afternoon from 2 to 3 and get your own signed copies of the First Daughter novels.
