Lauren Bush Lauren and husband David Lauren |
Lauren Bush Lauren Is Making a Name for Herself
By BEE-SHYUAN CHANG
For Lauren Bush Lauren, the strikingly attractive niece of one president and the granddaughter of another, as well as the daughter-in-law of a legendary figure in the world of American fashion, it’s not easy to go unnoticed.
At Ralph Lauren’s fall 2013 show during the most recent New York Fashion Week, the paparazzi snapped her photo as she sat in the front row with her husband, David Lauren; her mother-in-law, Ricky Lauren; and media heavyweights such as Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair and David Remnick of The New Yorker.
At a recent lunch at the Standard hotel, as she dined on a chopped salad (with a side of pickles), a few patrons glanced over quizzically, as if they knew they should know her from somewhere — a model? an actress? A Real Housewife? — while the waiters hovered solicitously.
And in early April, at the Hale House gala honoring her mother, Sharon Bush, for her philanthropic work, a hush seemed to come over the crowd as Ms. Bush Lauren, her husband and her younger siblings, Pierce and Ashley, made their way around the room. They formed such a regal vignette that the evening’s host, the actress Patricia Clarkson, later joked onstage: “It’s a shame they’re so attractive.”
Ms. Bush Lauren seems to take such attention in stride. But it wasn’t always thus.
Raised mostly in Texas and educated at Princeton, she moved to New York in 2006, having already worked here as a model, one whose last name guaranteed a certain level of ready fame.

What about Pee Wee Bush?
Well, it's unlikely the GOP will still exist by 2032-36.
One good thing about Obama winning the presidency is that it interrupted the pattern of Bush-Clinton, Bush-Clinton. If Hilary had been elected the only thing to do would be to arrange a marriage between Chelsea and Jorge Bush to found the American Dynasty.
"So Lauren Bush's husband is a Jew. John Kerry's daughter married a Jew. Bill Clinton's daughter married a Jew. Al Gore's daughter married a Jew. JFK's daughter married a Jew."
Jews once used to dream of marrying into the blue bloods.
Now, wasps dream of marrying into the Jew-bloods.
I'm not anti-Jew; it's just interesting to notice things no one else talks about. I can't fault Jewish people for being successful at whatever endeavor. When they marry the goyim they tend to aim high.
This is probably how the Ashkenazim came into being centuries ago.
By the way, the cheaper line of Ralph Lauren apparel goes by the handle, "Lauren Ralph Lauren."

well, amy chua's daughter's mother did it too. what's more, her husband was a yellow fever virgin at the time.
"Jews once used to dream of marrying into the blue bloods.

In these cases I think both partners think they're marrying up -- the men see they're getting a fair complected, well connected non-Jew woman and the women feel as if they're joining the club of high-achievers and getting the "cool" factor of not marrying a generic "white guy."
It's the thing to marry a Jew or a European if you're an upper-echelon white woman these days.
"This is probably how the Ashkenazim came into being centuries ago."
I've read that despite the matri-lineal tradition of Judaism, amongst the Ashkenazim it's the mother's genetic line that seems to invariably end up being European rooted, not the father's. Apparently the men went into Europe seeking a new life and a new fortune and chose well. Wealth begets quality women begets wealth etc...

I'm not anti-jewish either, but it is a pretty remarkable pattern.
Donald Trump's daughter married a jewish person. Didn't Joe Biden's daughter do so as well?
Josef Stalin's wife was also jewish was she not?
"I've read that despite the matri-lineal tradition of Judaism, amongst the Ashkenazim it's the mother's genetic line that seems to invariably end up being European rooted, not the father's."
Do you have a citation?

May explain their high average IQ.
It's that European genius.
"Donald Trump's daughter married a jewish person. Didn't Joe Biden's daughter do so as well?"
Yep, completely forgot about that one. Kerry, Gore, Clinton, Biden, Kennedy. And the "posh" Bush for what it's worth.
It's quite an optimistic statement, Mr. Sailer, when one is aware of the vicious anti-Semitism David Lauren had to endure.
Of course, that doesn't compare with the persecution suffered by his father Ralph, who could hardly afford a decent automobile.
Of course, Kerry is already half Jewish by descent.
I've read that lots of British and German aristocrats have partial Jewish ancestry.
What are the odds that Obama's daughters will marry into jewish families?
Lauren and Xochitl in 2032! ¡Mas rubio que Rubio, y mas hispano que nadie!
So Lauren Bush's husband is a Jew. John Kerry's daughter married a Jew. Bill Clinton's daughter married a Jew. Al Gore's daughter married a Jew. JFK's daughter married a Jew.
There is also a Russian Muslim billionaire that is married to a jewish woman, he is the richest man living in Britain...They know which side bread is buttered

if we talk about it, steve blocks our comments.
i'm not ready for a president named lauren lauren. the republican party will not exist after 2020 though, so i don't have to worry about that.
Al Gore's daughter married a Jew
Gore's daughter's ex-husband was one-fourth Jewish by ancestry and was raised Episcopalian. You Jew-haters can't get your facts straight.
Anonymous 4/25/13, 5:12 PM,
Neither of Josef Stalin's wives was not Jewish. His daughter Svetlana's first husband, Grigory Morozov, was Jewish, but Stalin never deigned to meet him.
Well, most of these well-connected daughters are also pretty good looking. If Chelsea's father was a family doctor she probably would have ended up with someone like Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Jewish or not a successful man like Marc Mezvinsky must have vast political ambitions to marry a double bagger like her.
PICTURED: THE JAMAICAN-BORN FIANCE OF JOHN BOEHNER’S DAUGHTER – WHO HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR POSSESSING MARIJUANA
At the upper levels of society, I would imagine that there are very few suitable matches to be had, so it shouldn't be surprising that WASP/Jewish nuptials have risen a generation or two after the post war rise of the elite Ashkenazim. Most of the Jews that marry into established WASP families are not only extremely wealthy, they've been rich for long enough to have connections and know how to behave properly.
It isn't as though old-school, unlettered, cigar chomping rogues are poaching statuesque blonds from the debutante circuit.
I would liken it more to the blending of industrial dynasties with the titled nobility of England or the old China trade families of New England.

Whoah, a picture really is worth 1000 words. Both the pic of the fiance and of Boehner's daughter. I guess Damian Marley was taken.

Ahh, I knew there'd be a thought policeman somewhere on the beat tonight.
I like Jews and Jewish culture in general. Last fall I spent some time as a tourist in Israel and I loved it there and am looking forward to going back. Get your facts straight. People who notice things that make you uncomfortable mostly aren't nefarious hate-filled meanies.
So swap out 3/4 of what's-his-name and put in Biden's son-in-law. Happy, Officer?

A more parsimonious explanation: they felt as if they were marrying dude's whose father's were worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

What is a "double bagger"?
There is also a Russian Muslim billionaire that is married to a jewish woman, he is the richest man living in Britain
What is his name?
I've read that lots of British and German aristocrats have partial Jewish ancestry.
Blair, Cameron, the Millibands, Jack Straw...

My dear coreligionists who are raised Catholics are certainly of great help.
Blair, Cameron, the Millibands, Jack Straw...
None of them are aristocrats. Cameron comes closest but he isn't really an aristocrat. Blair isn't even Jewish.

So true. Calm, rational, well meaning people are perfectly capable of pattern recognition.
It's a shame that often only the angry and the maladjusted have the guts to point out the obvious.
The thought police won't be with us forever though, so stay cheerful and keep noticing things.

Aw geez, nobody's gonna comment on Ralph Lauren's actual surname? You lot are so devoted to your Pocket-Protector Asgard ideo-style and fulminating about Hebrews In The News that you completely miss the obvious punchline.
Well I"ll reserve judgement on these mixed marriages until we know in what tradition the children are raised
Jews and Gentiles alike are rather given to that old parlour game "spot the Jew " . Ethnic Jewish but (cultural) Christian is acceptable to me (as an example I even came to rather appreciate the film "Chariots of Fire " when I found out that Harold Abrahams converted to Roman Catholicism )
is that hugh grant?
"Aw geez, nobody's gonna comment on Ralph Lauren's actual surname? You lot are so devoted to your Pocket-Protector Asgard ideo-style and fulminating about Hebrews In The News that you completely miss the obvious punchline."
Dude, give it up. Commenting isn't fulminating. Thought-suppression by insult isn't good argumentation either. You have to make it personal, don't you? You've got nothing else.
I don't recall his real last name anyway. I'm sure it's something dorkily sexual in nature like Jon Stewart's last name. Some of us have outgrown such juvenility.
Sumdood said: You Jew-haters can't get your facts straight.
Hunsdon: You have a mighty low threshold for what constitutes hate, don't you? If we notice, we're haters, if we don't notice, we're cattle. If noticing that our elites are increasingly Jewish (or of Jewish descent), and tend to have a very different conception of what America is, and how America should be, from that which historically predominated, qualifies as hate, then, sir, I ask again: do I get a hat with the hate?
"When they marry the goyim they tend to aim high."
The Book of Esther is basically a blueprint on how to gradually take over an elite.
A bagger is a chick who is so ugly that you have to put a bag over her heard to sleep with her. A double bagger is a girl who's so ugly that you to have a second paper bag around in case the first one breaks.
Discussions like this would work better with a fixed definition of who is and isn't Jewish. We aren't living in Spain under the Inquisition--there isn't any particular reason anyone needs to be secret about being Jewish in the US. (Jews do better than other whites, on average.). So why not adopt a definition like this: If a person identifies as Jewish--whether he is religious or not--then he is. There are a lot of cultural Jews who don't believe in God, but still try to keep up some level of traditions. Those guys are Jews. Someone with a Jewish grandfather, who doesn't self-identify as Jewish and doesn't keep any of the culture going, isn't Jewish, and it's a silly stretch to build theories about the world based on the idea that he is.
No. A "double bagger" is a dame sooo fugly, you have to put a bag over YOUR head as well as hers. You don't want even a glimpse!

It's Lipschitz or some variant thereof.
Blair, Cameron, the Millibands, Jack Straw...
Blair isn't even Jewish.
Blair's maternal grandmother, Sarah Margaret (nee Lipsett) gave birth to his mother Hazel above the family's grocery shop.
The name Lipsett is a common anglicization of Lifschitz, the given name of Ralph Lauren.
Blair's father, meanwhile, was adopted. Blair's biological grandparents were two actors.

Gentiles are really only following Jews's lead on that one.
Al Gore's daughter married a Jew
Gore's daughter's ex-husband was one-fourth Jewish by ancestry and was raised Episcopalian. You Jew-haters can't get your facts straight.
Are you referring to Paul Cusack, who is divorced from Kristin Gore?
Al Gore's second daughter, Karenna Gore, married Andrew Newman Schiff, a direct descendent of the famous industrialist and financier Jacob Schiff. They have three children.
"Al Gore's second daughter, Karenna Gore, married Andrew Newman Schiff, a direct descendent of the famous industrialist and financier Jacob Schiff. They have three children"
I guess I was right and the dingbat who slandered me was either being disingenuous or just ignorant despite his cockiness.
Once you've known enough Jewish people, "spotting the Jew" is pretty instantaneous. First names, last names, and facial features clue you in pretty fast. I don't care about it any more than I care if someone is Scottish or Italian; it's just that it's a little bizarre that a man from 2% of the population has married the daughter of almost every single major Democratic politician. Pick another ethnic group who makes up 2% of the population and imagine it being one of that group -- Portuguese or Norwegian, say -- and you'll see how unusual it might seem at first blush.
I know it's not a conspiracy, it's just an interesting phenomenon. There's a reason for it somewhere; it's a statistical impossibility that there isn't.
By the way, I actually think it's the daughters who are drawn to the Jewish guys moreso than the other way around. In addition to being disproportionately successful, Jews have a "cool" factor for being "diverse." If you're a generic white guy, you better have something better going for you than just being rich if you want to marry a chick from a powerful family.
Jacob Schiff's grandson John married Edith Baker, a non-Jew who was granddaughter of commercial banking titan George Fisher Baker. Their son David also married a non-Jew. David and his non-Jewish wife are Andrew Newman Schiff's parents. So the Schiff to whom Karenna Gore was married was one-fourth Jewish by ancestry and raised as a Christian.
Here is a link to the NYT wedding announcement for one of Andrew Schiff's brothers. He married an Italian-American Catholic. The ceremony took place at an Episcopal church and was officiated by an Episcopal minister and a Roman Catholic priest who was a former president of Georgetown University. So the "dingbat" was right that Andrew Schiff is one-fourth Jewish and was raised Christian. I regret ascribing hatred of Jews to the original poster, but he did not have his facts lined up.

Well, most of these well-connected daughters are also pretty good looking
Certainly better looking than most Jewish women.
Isn't it interesting that the elite gentile families most likely to intermarry with the Jews are also the ones that tend to be most supportive of Third World immigration?
So the "dingbat" was right that Andrew Schiff is one-fourth Jewish and was raised Christian.
No. That article says nothing about the ethnicity of any of Schiff's ancestors. And a full-blooded Jew (like a convert a Christianity) could have Christian clergy officiating at his wedding, and surely you know this. Yet you make a preoposterous claim that is at odds with what you must know.
How are we wrong? Even you admit that he has Jewish ancestry.
If you go back to the first comment, the claim was made that "Al Gore's daughter married a Jew." Dilute Jewish ancestry and raised in another faith ≠ Jewish.
Ben Tillman,
We know that Andrew Schiff's father was the son of John M. Schiff (Jewish) and Edith Brevoort Fisher (non-Jewish granddaughter of George Fisher Baker). The death notice below shows that David Schiff's wife Lisa is daughter of T. Newman Lawler and Eloise Reynolds, both likely non-Jews.

Who said she has to run as a Republican? That's kind of the whole point of Sailer's Bush dynasty theme--the party serves the hereditary line, not vice versa.

So he is Jewish.
Obama is seen as black or African, even though he isn't "full blooded" (your words).
Jacob Schiff's grandson John married Edith Baker, a non-Jew who was granddaughter of commercial banking titan George Fisher Baker.
Thanks for providing more evidence of of this remarkable phenomenon.
Andrew Schiff doesn't consider himself Jewish, doesn't practice the religion, and has ancestry that is less Jewish than non-Jewish. Observant Jews wouldn't consider either his father or him to be Jewish.
It seems that some commenters in this thread would like to establish a Jewish one-drop rule.
I guess I'm a little baffled by why it makes sense to classify someone with one Jewish grandparent, who was raised Christian and is a more-or-less practicing Christian today, as Jewish.
What I suspect is going on here is this: We had a big wave of immigration of Eastern European Jews about a century ago. As a group, they did very well here, particularly in school, and in the fields of medicine, science, law, and finance. Early on, there was some substantial discrimination against Jews--limiting how many could go to various top colleges, refusing them entry into country clubs, etc. But over time, that more-or-less went away, and most people don't really have any dislike of Jews, so there wasn't much pressure to prevent assimilation.
So, we have this class of people at the top of our society, which is a mix of meritocracy and aristocracy--you get more successful partly via the good genes from your successful parents, partly from the good preparation they gave you, and partly from the connections they gave you. Maybe 50 years ago, the general class of people at the top started getting a big infusion of assimilated Jews. First, that was mostly Jewish couples, but their kids assimilated into their social class, and married their upper-class peers. And the stickiness of that class means that there are still a fair number of members in the next generation who have a Jewish grandparent somewhere in there. And it mostly doesn't come up, right?
Eventually, most of the upper class will have an ancestor or two who is Jewish. And yet, almost none of them will consider themselves Jewish at all.
The Jewish ethnic roots of Anglican Canon and left-wing media star Giles Fraser
"I was circumcised by the mohel when I was eight days old on my grandmother’s kitchen table in St John’s Wood. It wasn’t done for health reasons. It was a statement of identity. Whatever is meant by the slippery identification ‘being Jewish’ — my father is, my mother is not — it had something to do with this.
"Circumcision marked me out as belonging. Years later, when my wife objected to the circumcision of our new son on the grounds that it was cruel and unnecessary, I reluctantly gave way. Intellectually, I knew that there was little left of ‘being Jewish’ to protect. After all, my wife was not Jewish and I had become a Christian priest. Halachically, it made no sense.
"For all of this, I still find it difficult that my son is not circumcised. The philosopher Emil Fackenheim, himself a survivor of Sachsenhausen concentration camp, famously added to the 613th commandments of the Hebrew scriptures with a new 614th commandment: thou must not grant Hitler posthumous victories. This new mitzvah insisted that to abandon one’s Jewish identity was to do Hitler’s work for him.
"Jews are commanded to survive as Jews by the martyrs of the Holocaust. My own family history – from Miriam Beckerman and Louis Friedeburg becoming Frasers (a name change to escape antisemitism) to their grandson becoming Rev Fraser (long story) to the uncircumcised Felix Fraser — can be read as a betrayal of that 614th commandment."
Rest of article here
I don't think I'd consider Blair, Cameron, the Millibands, or Jack Straw gentry. As to the marriages I do not know that it isn't a conspiracy. The connections of the fathers probably made the daughters much more attractive propositions. One advantage Jews have is the ability to view themselves as better than the shiksas they pursue. Pretty women with rich fathers probably get tired of guys being too nice to them. They also have the ego protection of using racism as an excuse if they get turned down. There's also the Talmudic freedom of ethical restraint when dealing with gentiles.
I had a half Jewish aunt who managed to cheat my mom out of one inheritance and to get another from a childless great uncle. The ruthless pursuit of mammon is not a myth.
