To my mind (and I'm a registered Republican), there is a world of difference between Jenna Bush's situation and that of Noelle.
Sometimes when looking at legal violations it has to be viewed through a non-polarized filter of what the "average person" has happen.
Jenna Bush: college freshman, drinks, has (really bad) fake ID . . .
none of this is shocking, or even abnormal. Illegal? Sure - but if I got caught with my fake ID drinking in a bar, they'd NEVER call the cops, but they did to her. She got out of it - I would have too, so would everyone else.
Noelle Bush: cocaine. Lots of it.
Crack cocaine. While in rehab.
This is NOT normal behavior for someone her age - there comes a time when you have to step out of your familial life and realize that the law is the law, and most likely she'll end up in jail.
Sucks - but that's life Jeb.
PS - no reason to idict his parenting skills, there's a lot more involved than just parenting when your child is a 'public figure' (as was put earlier) - we don't know much of the circumstances surrounding their family etc. It seems like petty partisan bickering to call him a bad father. Let's just leave it at bad politician, if that's how you feel.
He's not exactly Huey P. Long over here.
