Esquire Magazine's August edition features some revealing photographs of the 2004 Democratic Presidential contenders in what they consdier their natural elements, but the good editors at the magazine were smart enough to know that it would take more sizzle to attract readers.

That may explain why they slapped a picture of actress Jennifer Lopez --clad in a bikini--on the cover.

J-Lo's pinup shot leads readers into the features about the candidates, in which Sen. John Kerry is photographed in his Washington townhouse, talking on the phone while his wife Teresa, sits perched on his wingback chair with a cup of tea in her hand.

The photographer, Michael Edwards, said Kerry stayed on the phone for most of the photo shoot, saying he was chatting with an ambassador.

Edwards said Kerry originally wanted to pose with his wife on a replica of the Navy Patrol Boat he skippered in Vietnam.

The other photos show Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri in his kitchen making chicken, Se. John Edwards of North Carolina horsing around with his children in their bedroom, and the Reverend Al Sharpton in his favorite Harlem Soul Food restaurant.

Despite the free publicity, Kerry has his cohorts should be aware of another item teased on the cover: a story about potential candidate Gen. Weley Clark, the former NATO Supreme Commander.

Its titled 'The Man Who Can Defeat George W. Bush (If He Wants to)'

Any dirt on Carnie Wilson? She was on Howard Stern and Howard was not impressed with her Playboy spread.

That may well be. It's the hot pants and the pumps and the rump that works for me in this shot.

Let's see, what do I remember.......

The famous pix she did....she had a thing on her waist because of all the scarring she's got from the surgery. Plus I don't think she's got a flat tummy.

She's gained back some of the weight, which is usual for people who get the surgery (epinions has some interesting opinions about the surgery).

As far as I know, she's never going to be as thin as her sister, but she's still a lot thinner than she used to be.

But nothing...really bad, no extreme dirt on her that I've heard :)

That's more like her body in it's thinnest state.

I'm a man, thanks, and happily married to a non-heroin chic beautiful woman. Are you a fat assed woman also? If so, I'm sorry if I offended you.

How would like to have this poor sap's job, her official nipple tweaker?

[LanPB01]

Ben's love for her almost makes her forget how much she loves tacos.

[connectthedots]

And the pic doesnt look airbrushed much..

LOL. Her butt is much bigger than that.

[BushCountry]

This is frontpage news?

[Rifleman]

I hope not! Ms Lopez is my last best hope for a popular cultural change back to women who look like women rather than 14 year old boys.

Picture? want a picture?

                    A be-medalled Beatle begging a murderer  .........                    or perhaps discussing how to send Catholic charity money to the IRA

                   or "Why  did you leave Mary Jo in the Car?"

That picture is soooooo computer enhanced--even her face is changed. Guy's C'mon!!!!!! J-Ho is NOT THAT small and girlish. And I am NOT jealous because I AM small and girlish. I just know how much they can improve/change pictures and they sure had a good time with that one.
