The Bush Twins' (Fake) Public Figures

Is presidential daughter Barbara Bush following through on her previously announced intentions to work with HIV-afflicted children overseas? We hear that she held a going-away party in Washington last week to announce her move to Africa, but details were sparse -- and the White House yesterday declined to comment, citing its policy of not discussing the private lives of Barbara or her twin, Jenna.

During her father's campaign, Barbara expressed interest in working for a pediatric AIDS program at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, helping HIV-positive children at clinics in Africa and elsewhere. Mark Kline, the doctor who directs Baylor's AIDS initiative, told us yesterday: "We'd love to have her join us, but we haven't heard a thing. . . . We made an offer to Barbara about a year ago, but at this point she hasn't confirmed that she is going to work for us."

Meanwhile, we can confirm that the 23-year-old twins have not become pinup models, despite a photo that's circulating on the Internet. In an early April Fool's prank, the saucy magazine Maxim is promoting a doctored shot of the sisters in lingerie in the issue that hit newsstands yesterday......

And then she was going to teach in DC. Haven't heard too much about Operation Family Image Touch-up recently.

I thought you were going to say they're posing in Playboy.
