Ringing in the New Year

EASIEST POST OF THE DAY

First Daughter Barbara Bush has been seen sporting some hardware on her left hand, third finger... For those of you counting, that's her ring finger.

Could Barbara be joining the ranks of young non-celebrities who keep making and breaking engagements? Is she any better than Paris, Kimberly Stewart and Talan-that-guy-from-the-crap-MTV-show...? It's hard to say.

The White House denies her engagement.

We at the AntiC are, for once, erring on the side of believing The Administration on this one. You see it's just as likely, if not more so, that Barbara is just using the old trick learned from her Daddy's drinkin' days- wear the ring, and the boys don't hit on you as much when you're plastered, leaving you more time with your beer steins.

[When did we become The Wonkette...?]
