Does anyone see some kind of ironic parallel here between this situation and the movie Traffic? Remember, the guy was the head of the DEA and his daughter was a total crack fiend? Now, the President of the US, who should be all about following our nation's laws and protecting citizens (among his many other duties) has a daughter that cannot seem to follow the law (although I admit, it's not like she's been caught freebasing). but, then again, the daughter in Traffic was somehow smart (or lucky) enough not to be caught by the authorities, like Jenna has 2 times in 5 weeks!!
BTW, thanks for the answer AlphaXiGirl. The reason it is news, IMO, is that she is the President's daughter (the irony I pointed out above). Just like why it's news when any celebrity does anything...like when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston got married, or when Matthew Perry ran into someone's Hollywood home (and wasn't under the influence). But, what Jenna did was not only something people want to hear about, it's a purposeful disobediance of the law (and I'll say ti again...2 times in 5 weeks!!). And like I heard a journalist say last night on CNBC, if a police report is filed, it's news, it's their job to report it. End of story. As long as it's something people want to know about, too, it will be reported. If Jenna doesn't like it, she should consider becoming an activist against it, or maybe...uh...just follow the law???
