I'm going to add to my earlier remarks the same thing I think about the whole Jenna Bush drinking situation.
If you're the close relative of a public figure, you yourself are a public figure. As such, you need to recognize that everybody is going to be watching you. If you screw up, you're going to have it rubbed in your face.
The media was kind enough to leave Chelsea Clinton alone for most of her tenure as "First Daughter." This is because she was underage. Once she turned 18, People did that huge spread on her. To quote James Carville, "Minor children of politicians are to be left alone. Adult children of politicians are fair game." Jenna and Noelle are both adults. They are public figures. Perhaps they do not want to be public figures. They had no say in it. But they are public figures nonetheless.
As for Noelle, she's had her chances for rehab, and she's blown them.
