Bush twins in sexy April Fool's joke


Bush twins in sexy April Fool's joke
Maxim portrays president's daughters in post pillow-fight lingerie

Maxim magazine, known for its risqué photographs of scantily clad women, is now taking on the twin daughters of President Bush in an April Fool's prank. In its April edition, which debuted Tuesday, Jenna and Barbara Bush are shown depicted in lingerie, as if they had just had a massive pillow fight, with feathers streaming down around them. The first paragraph reads: "Born Nov. 25, 1981, this Texas twosome burst into the public eye and our dirtiest dreams – right after Daddy moved into the Oval Office."

According to the Houston Chronicle, the publication was working on a new "girl page." "We thought, 'Who should we prank?'" Maxim executive editor James Heindery told the paper. "How do you make a girl page and make it a prank? We had to watch our p's and q's. We certainly don't want to step on some people's toes, but it seemed like the Bush twins was the first suggestion that everybody threw out. And we thought there was little chance that we would get in too much trouble because I don't think their father would ever want to talk about this."

The image is really a combined illustration of actual photos of the faces of the Bush girls, but 25 models were used with some 75 photos taken to help make a realistic match for the rest of their bodies. "We definitely tried to be realistic and not put stick figures on them," Heindery said. The magazine doesn't pretend the image is real, though, as it labels it "100% fake." Despite some coverage of the twins in connection with underage drinking and making faces at the media, there has not been an abundance of stories about them, especially in the wake of a warning from President Bush.

"We took into consideration," Heindery told the Chronicle. "But first of all, the girls made news themselves with their antics. Also when brought them along the campaign trail and had them speak at the convention, it made them fair game."

The press secretary for first lady Laura Bush offered a "no comment" after seeing the image via e-mail. As WND reported, a doctored image recently made headlines in connection with Newsweek magazine.

bodies that their heads are superimposed on.

8. I bet they both are proud of that picture even if they didn't actually pos
I bet they love the idea of men getting aroused over their pictures. I don't think there will be much of an outcry at all.

Shovel that coal, tote that barge
Aint no task that is too large
We gotta job, aint no doubt
Dont you dare stop & pout

I gotta belief thats pure and true--

If you wanna join my crew---
Saving democracy is what I do--

I mean, I see it's the Bush twins. But I don't get why it's supposed to be funny.
