Bush Twins in Sexy April Fool's Joke

Bush Twins in Sexy April Fool's Joke

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 [the warning] into consideration," Heindery told the Chronicle. "But first of all, the girls made news themselves with their antics. Also when [President Bush] brought them along the campaign trail [in 2004] 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 meida reported, a doctored image recently made news in connection with Newsweek magazine.

For a story about Martha Stewart's new "makeover" as she prepared to leave prison, Newsweek created a cover photo using the homemaking maven's face but someone else's slim body.

The story said that while Stewart and her media empire face many challenges, prison has been good for business and her figure, helping melt worry lines and about 20 pounds.

Regarding the Bush daughters, Heindery told the Chronicle: "We haven't gotten any blow-back [yet]. I think like any good American, they should take [the] joke in stride."

I wonder why no one ever did this with Chelsea?

You probably missed the art utilizing the daughters of democrat presidents.

I didn't want to embed the pic because I thought they might substitute a really vile alternative.

Spy Magazine actually did a shot of Hillary in a leather S&M outfit. They really did her a favor with their choice of models.

Or Amy Carter or Lynda Johnson or Margaret Truman

Of that group and including Chelsea, Lynda Johnson is a little out of place. She was no beauty but was not ugly either.

"Wankers need not apply"? Wankers are the main reason for the existence of the magazine!
