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)'

[GraniteStateConservative]

Taco-flavored kisses...

[Coop]

MAJOR AIRBRUSH REWORKING ALERT!

I don't care! :-p

Wide load? What is your sort of woman... Kate Moss? Jennifer Lopez is shapely and not fat. Are you a woman and jealous? Or are you a man who would never attract such a woman as Jennifer Lopez or any good looking woman to begin with?

Why is it people feel such a need to be nasty? Post your picture so we can see how big your ass is.

She has claimed she has lost a lot of weight. (hence these great new pics)

[cyborg]

high protein diet and pilates, and lots of squats and plies she said in a magazine recently... I think she looks great and obviously lots of men think so too.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Doesn't matter if she's lost weight.

That's not her body type.

If you look on the net at her thinnest...those aren't her thighs or body at all.

In case you don't know they do this all the time to actors and actresses.

Even to Jennifer Anniston who is skinnier than J-Ho.

[homeschool mama]

I didn't know. :o/

[ewing]

And I heard she is offering her ex-Manager 25 million to get out of the contracts that he signed on her merchandising, could be a nasty fight!

[Ganymede]

She has claimed she has lost a lot of weight. (hence these great new pics)

being in love will do that . . .

[ewing]

Her ex-manager Benny Medina is the one responsible for all of the diva stories, I hope all that stuff is left behind her now that he is gone..

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Just look at the *color* of the body as opposed to the face! It doesn't even match!

Among other things....

[Ganymede]

what's your problem?

[ewing]

Look at her tiny stomach now!

[wardaddy]

good for her....I think my wife told me she had her butt sides/thighs trimmed surgically.

my wife follows all the fashion mags and page 6 FWIW.

;>)

[Cobra64]

Yup. Too bad she isn't wearing one of our Bullet Bras. www.BulletBras.net. That's us!

[ewing]

Affleck could use a hair transplant now that she is so skinny! (if they are into 'work' on themselves)

[Delbert]

Put your glasses on Grandpa....she is fine!
