Those Bush girls sure love to party. A dishy profile in the upcoming edition of New York magazine tells how the President's rambunctious twin daughters have been carousing all over Manhattan in recent months - knocking back tequila shots and closing down clubs with some of the city's richest kids.
The two 22-year-olds are known to their Secret Service agents as Twinkle (Jenna) and Turquoise (Barbara).
And they're seen out on the town most nights, with the agents in tow as a very, very secure car service.
Among the stories the magazine tells:
One night Barbara and a group of her friends were partying at an apartment well into the wee hours.
A Secret Service agent knocked and told the guest who opened the door: "We're checking on Barbara. Do you know if she will be spending the night?"
According to one person who was there, "The guest came back in the living room and asked, 'Is there someone named Barbara here? Your dad's at the door.'"
Another time, at Bungalow 8, the hip West Side club, Jenna approached an actress from "Legally Blonde 2," who didn't recognize her.
"My daddy's the President," Jenna explained to general befuddlement.
Someone at the table wondered whether she meant president of Bungalow 8.
The mag also recalls a story from Rolling Stone that quoted actor Ashton Kutcher as saying they went back to his house after a night of partying, where he "let a friend of his smoke them out on his hookah."
And it talks about parties such as the one at which the twins and other rich pals drank wine that someone had brought from their dad's wine cellar late into the night at a loft on Bond St. The fun continued until 3 a.m. or so.
"[That] made it a kind of an early night for the twins," the mag said.
The pair hang out with people like Johnson & Johnson heir Jamie Johnson, director of the documentary "Born Rich"; Maggie Betts, daughter of Chelsea Piers developer and Dubya pal Roland Betts; and oil heir Powie French, who introduced them to Ecuadoran Fabian Basabe.
Basabe was rumored to be banned from the White House after a photo of him dirty-dancing with Barbara hit the front page of the Daily News in February.
And everywhere Barbara and Jenna go, the Secret Service follows.
A few years ago, there were reports that the girls sometimes thought it was fun to try to lose their government escorts. But people say now they're gracious to their protectors. "You don't just ditch Secret Service," a friend is quoted as saying. The twins have publicly gushed about how fun it is to stump for their dad across the country.
But the article says Barbara and Jenna love New York — and would rather party here than bother with politics.
It paints Barbara, a Yale graduate, as the more sophisticated and outgoing twin. "Barbara is very engaging and open," a friend is quoted as saying. "Jenna couldn't care less if she meets anyone new."
Friends predict that both will live in Manhattan after the election, whether their father wins or loses.
Stunning "news."
They're young, they're single, they're gorgeous--now's the time to party.
Guess the media wants to slam the twins now....such a pity it makes the media look so cheap...oh wait, they are cheap!
Twenty-two year old girls with money partying in Manhattan.
I am shocked!
(But not saddened.)
Well, at least they have grown up enough to realize that there are MANY people out there who hate their dad so much that they would gladly do evil to them.
I guess if you don't where "whore clothes" like kerry's daughter, you need to be ashamed?
"where" is supposed to be WEAR!
danged blasted mouse that clicks on its own!
Not to mention the stupid keyboard that can't spell either.
The Bush twins have worn their share of "whore clothes" as you call them.
The Bush girls wore see-thru gauze? I missed that one - the ones I've seen, they dress fairly provocatively, as normal for their age group. but I have never seen sleeze from them.
The Bush girls are Texas chicks, so their wardrobe choices tend to lean heavily in the "slutty" direction.
Thank God!
This article reeks with exaggeration. You have to question just who (political opponents?) is feeding this crap to the media.
And what were these reporters doing in college and their immediate post-college years? You can bet they were drinking heavily, smoking pot, having sex, staying up all night, throwing up in the toilet, clubbing, etc. But they only try to portray it as decadent, out-of-the-ordinary sleaze when it's the sons/daughters of a conservative or a Republican.
Gee, deja vu all over again. Other young women their age are in the military, fighting a war in Iraq. And they're boozing it up in Manhattan. Daddy taught his children well.
If the girls weren't behaving this way - were being good little teetotaler church girls going to Bible study - THAT would be portrayed in a negative light, too, e.g., "uptight conserative self-righteous prudes." Damned if you do, damned if you don't - if you're a Republican. Just ask Kenneth Starr or John Ashcroft.
Reads like a bunch of half truths, especially the stuff about the Secret Service.
Oh well, if your in the public eye this kind of thing is going to happen, I guess. But I don't put much stock in this article's theme.
What a cheap shot.
What were you doing at age 22, saving the world?
I feel sorry for joey.
