    I don't care what any of you say. My heart will always belong to Trish and I'll scream that out to the entire world.

    Either Marvin or Neil Bush -- not sure which one is younger

    Wrong!
    Neil Bush — born 1/22/1955
    Marvin Bush — born 10/22/1956
    Ron Reagan — born 5/20/1958

    I figured this would throw some people off.

    This sounds good in theory, but each of the last three presidents had relatively young kids when they took office, and by all accounts, they've turned out well, with no hint of scandal.

    The average child actor, or teen model has had more problems than Chelsea Clinton, the Bush twins, or Obama's daughters.

    And, while under tremendous pressure, the President also basically works from home. I'd bet the last three presidents shared more family dinners with his kids than the average sportswriter shares with their kids.

    So, do you have respect for the guy who has young kids, and worlds works an MLB beat?

    Chelsea Clinton may be the single most indulged child of politics since Louis, Dauphin of France was born in 1729

    It's pretty rich when journalists complain about politicians neglecting their family.

    I wouldn't want to work an MLB beat and raise kids either. There’s a long list of journalists who have avoided jobs that would have been detrimental to their families, which is a good thing.

    I'm glad all the recent First Daughters seem to have turned out OK. I still can't imagine thinking you are doing what's best for young kids by putting them in that situation.

    Who didn't turn out ok?

    I think Amy Carter may have had the toughest time, but she appears to be fine. JFK's kids turned out ok too, right?

    If you have this theory that it's terrible for the kids, you must have some evidence to back it up.

    Is the worst of it that the Secret Service has to tag along on dates and other social activities?

    Sarah Palin's kids were going to turn out to be trailer trash no matter where they were raised
