Jenna was stupid thinking in Texas bartenders wouldnt know who she was or what her real age was. But it doesnt mean their family is somehow disfunctional. Young people do things all the time without thinking, this just ranks up there.
And by the way, I did read a number of things about Chelsea being an alcoholic when in college, just no one paid attention to it instead concentrating on Bill like they should be.

Political families carry a certain image (rightfully or wrongfully) and are expected to not bring bad press, especially a political family that preaches supposed family values.
Jeb's daughter obviously needed help, and with his connections could have gotten her help. I think someone in Jeb's camp could have done something to help her before she got busted. The Dubya's daughters know the world is watching them, it is foolish for them to try to drink underage in public. Or threaten bartenders and cause public disturbances. If they were adults that would be different because you embarass yourself moreso than the family.
Granted when I was a teen, I drank underage, BUT I am not a politician's son. NOR would I ever have brought disgrace to my family by doing something in public that would embarass them.
Sorry just the way I was raised, obviously the Bush daughters (both Jeb and Dubya's) weren't raised with that noble characteristic.
Chelsea since Clinton has been out of office and is grown, yes has had some bad press, so did Amy Carter (admitted she was gay and said she smoked pot) and Patty Nixon, however ALL were adults and all had their fathers out of the WH.
