NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Bush strategist Karl Rove reportedly has said he's ready to put whoever approved the Bush twins' New York convention speech "on a slow boat to China."
The New York Daily News, citing unnamed sources, reported Rove, who is widely acknowledged as the political brain of the Bush machine, was among those who were turned off by the twins's appearance -- though the blame belongs to the staff rather than to the girls.
In their remarks introducing their mother to the Republican National Convention delegates, the twins talked of the difficulties of being part of the youngest generation of one of the nation's most prominent political families and of the generation gaps that sometimes occur.
"Whoever approved this," Rove is quoted as saying, "I'm going to put on a slow boat to China."
The oldest generation, however, saw nothing amiss.
"I thought they were wonderful," former President George H.W. Bush told reporters. "They gave a great speech. Somebody's sniping at 'em today, but I don't know why.
"Those girls have never really kinda liked all the politics, but because of their love for their dad, they're out campaigning," the elder Bush said. "I think they did a superb job."
