Host,
Is it possible that the Bush families don't receive the kind of media attention that the Clinton family has, at least in part, due to the fascination that the American public displayed towards the Clintons? Indeed, I remember numerous comments in the media of the Clintons being the new Kennedy family. "Camelot" was a term thrown around occasionally.
The media is nothing if not savvy enough to pick up on what its consumers want to find in their media. If pictures of the Clintons sell, it will be in the paper. If stories on Bill Clinton's childhood tug on the heartstrings, it'll be in print. If Chelsea's journey from awkward girl to somewhat attractive young woman is inspiring, you'll see or hear about it.
How interesting is the Bush family, really? The Bushes have no hard luck stories, do they? The twins have probably never really suffered from comments like "Ugly Duckling". Occasionally I still read a short piece on Sharon Bush and her ongoing issues.
The Bush Air Guard years have been done to death. Otherwise, the Bush family to me is something of a yawner when compared to the Clintons.
