George W. Bush has his sexy groupies doing something even Bill Clinton's harem wouldn't: taking it off in public to raise, um, support for their guy. "We thought it would be fun," says BabesForBush.com calendar girl Karen Henry. "It's also to show our serious support for him." But she says her group's tasteful 2004 calendar--it even includes well-dressed men, ugh--isn't just a rip-off of the movie Calendar Girls by middle-aged Bushies. Henry, the smartly dressed Miss July, and conservative radio talk show host Martha Zoller, Miss February, tell us the idea was really sparked by the nearly pornographic BabesAgainstBush.com calendar, which shows mostly nude women with artfully placed American flags, duct tape, and microphones. "It was tasteless and vulgar," says Henry. "Ours is cute," she adds. "Imitation," says an amused BabesAgainst spokesman David Livingstone, "really is the sincerest form of flattery." Both sides have plans for the profits. BabesFor will give it to the Bush re-election campaign. Livingstone's group is starting a Web page to urge Democrats to vote in the fall.

Babes is right. They look about 12 years old. But then again, about the time I turned 30 they all started looking too young. So what do I know.

Sure it does!
But "Babes FOR" is the central ( might one say "driving"? ) force!

Babes against Bush? Sounds like a personal hygiene preference, doesn't it?
To: ClintonBeGone
This is just a front group for the real power behind this effort - Lesbians Against Bush. I see, so the Democrat strategy this election is to combine extremely small voting blocks into one uber-block. To control a whole...2% or so of the vote?

I haven't given this a great deal of thought. I just wanted to use this article as an opportunity to write "Lesbians Against Bush". :)

The first sentence indicates Bush is having these girls strip to somehow 'lift' his campaign. But it appears they're on their own. What gives?

I don't think Ann was at PSU, by all appearances from the photo, these babes went to a book signing somewhere to meet Ann.
