Maybe It's Not the White House, but It's Home for Jenna and Henry

Maybe It's Not the White House, but It's Home for Jenna and Henry

Okay, now we know it's official: Jenna Bush and Henry Hager really are moving to Baltimore -- and they've already bought a house there.

Last week, we reported that the future first son-in-law -- who'll get his MBA from the University of Virginia on May 18, a week after he marries the blond Bush twin -- was eyeing a job at Constellation Energy, Maryland's biggest power company. Now, we've obtained documents that show the young couple bought a house in a historic neighborhood of South Baltimore last month -- two bedrooms, two baths, for $440,000. (Why aren't we all moving there?) The purchase was first reported late Tuesday night by Baltimore's WBAL-TV.

So we have a good idea how Hager will be spending his days. What about his bride? The White House does not comment on the lives of the twins, so we don't know whether she has any interest in lining up another teaching job such as the one she had at a D.C. charter school. She's been keeping busy lately on the lecture circuit for her nonfiction book "Ana's Story." And she'll soon start promoting her second tome -- "Read All About It!," a children's book she wrote with her mom, on shelves later this month.

The Smarty-Pants Awards

What if they gave out awards for the best pundits? And the entire audience was made up of pundits? And the live entertainment was a panel of pundits punditizing about the presidential election?

Well, we visited your nightmare Tuesday, and here's what happens: Total madness! At the Opinion Awards hosted at the Four Seasons by The Week magazine and the Aspen Institute, everyone knew better than everyone else. No one on the dais could let slip a minor misstatement or a bit of debatable logic without being chided by the smarty-pants Greek chorus in the audience.

Panelist Karl Rove was asked how Hillary Clinton won Ohio despite what he deemed a disastrous campaign. "It's more blue-collar, it's less white . . ." he began. From the tables: "More white! More white!"

Pollster Doug Schoen asserted in passing that Clinton "has not run one negative ad." Furious head-shaking around the room: "Yes she has! Yes she has!"

Former NYT executive editor Howell Raines said, "It was predicted the Clintons would go to the race issue, and they have." Hisses over the after-dinner coffee: "No they haven't!"

Even moderator Harold Evans was not immune to the heckling. "Everyone in this room says negative advertising is deplorable, that it doesn't work," he began, and well, you can imagine the reaction: Nuh-uh! We never said that!

(Oh, the awards! They went to cartoonist Mike Luckovich, blogger Josh Marshall and The Post's own Ruth Marcus.)

Rove and Raines also snarked at each other about Barack Obama's pastor, pseudo-politely lobbing "with all due respect" at each other. Sighed Evans: "There are too many 'respects' here."

LOVE, ETC.

· Reconciling: Sean Penn and Robin Wright, who called off their divorce Tuesday. The actor- director, 47, and actress, 42, who split in December after 11 years of marriage, requested that their divorce proceedings be dismissed, report "Extra" and TMZ.com. The two were spotted later that night in San Francisco looking cozy at an Eddie Vedder concert.

· Split: Mary-Louise Parker, 43, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, 41, have broken off their engagement, according to People. The "Weeds" co-stars dated on-and-off for two years; guess it's really off this time.

HEY, ISN'T THAT . . . ?
