No – I’m not making it up – it’s headline from a Hartford Courant article by Kim Martineau today that I’ve missed until now. Because the article is registration-restricted, I’ll reprint it here.

NEW HAVEN – Her dad was Skull and Bones. So was her grandfather and great-grandfather. By not joining Yale’s secret society, Barbara Bush broke with that tradition.

But she embraced another - the naked party.

<snip>

Naked parties are not orgies, not even close, despite their name, say those who attend. Stripped of clothing and other status markers, students are rendered equal. There’s more eye contact, less small talk. Everyone’s vulnerable.

“At most clothed parties, it’s more overt that people are hitting on each other - naked parties are actually less sexual,” one student was quoted as saying in a 1999 Yale Daily News story titled, “Nude Haven.”


**************
Good for her? Maybe she will shed some of the (inherited) ruler-of-the-world delusions along with her clothes..

1. so shrub takes after his mother's side, apparantly...

since he's now been exposed as an emperor with no clothes.

[progdonkey]

4. the other Barbara n/t

[baldguy]

2. I didn't think S&B allowed females to join.

[Syrinx]

6. they do now

Kerry was one of the forces that made it coed.

[cjm2222]

13. are you sure?

I know S&B went coed in the 1980s. I hadn't heard that Kerry had anything to do with the change in membership. Interesting, if true.

[Wapsie B]

3. Hmmmmmmmm

Now what if this were Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter? Funny how that double standard works.

5. The Harrad Experiment redux (nt)

7. A rape occurred at Yale following the party that Barbara attended

There may be more eye contract and less small talk, but it seems there's also a lot of heavy drinking, and in this case the combination led to the rape of an underclassman by a resident advisor. I really don't care of Barbara Bush attends these or not. I do get a little annoyed thinking about how the "liberal press" would treat Chelsea or one of the Kerry girls if this had been them, though, not to mention Bush's fundamentalist fans. Too bad Dr. Phil didn't address Barbara's extra-curricular activities on his show.

The plea deal is reported in today's Hartford Courant.

NEW HAVEN -- It began with an off-campus "naked party," an annual Yale University tradition with an "A-list" of invited guests including President Bush's daughter.

It ended with one student claiming she was drugged and sexually assaulted in her dorm room, and her assailant - another student who has since graduated - accepting a plea bargain just two days before he was to stand trial on rape charges.

The Pundits, one of Yale's senior societies, throw naked parties year round. But their springtime event is the largest and most exclusive: Only those with formal invitations are let in. Barbara Bush, a sophomore at the time, was among 50 or so guests.

23. The "liberal press" was all over Alex Kerry's dress at Cannes.

Remember that?

But a semi-transparent dress is worse than nudity, apparently.

8. I liked the following paragraph

"In the spring of 2002, Barbara Bush, then a sophomore, arrived at a house on Crown Street for the fun, according to at least two people who saw her there. Not known: the whereabouts of her Secret Service protection."

Where would they hide their weapons ? And I wonder if this wouldnt be above and beyond the call of duty.

9. Acting out the Bush family dysfunction

[salin]

10. Wonder how Dad's Religious Right supporters

would "read" this?

[pfitz59]

12. I'm sure Poppy and Dubya attended naked parties at Yale.....

of course it wasn't COED when they went! :)

[Rose Siding]

11. Kitty Kelley didn't even run with this one

Did she?

[PartyPooper]

14. No, she didn't.

Her bad!

[eridani]

16. Probably some of the 10% she said she held back

--so as to have something to threaten them with if they get cute about suing her for anything in the other 90%.

[AP]

15. Psst. Her father, the emperor, has no clothes on either. Pass the word.

[eridani]

17. I think of it the other way around--

--the new clothes are there, but there's no emperor inside.

[Carolab]

18. Like this?

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. Soon this embarrassing twit will be forgotten.

[MaineDem]

20. Is Barbara the blonde or the brunette?

I haven't worried my pretty little mind to find out.

[Ravenseye]

22. brunette

the blond is the dumb drunk one who went to Texas. the brunette is the smarter drunk one who went to Yale.

[Swamp Rat]

21. ... and Jenna?

[R Hickey]

24. The Supreme Court says Naked Parties releive social tensions.

What do they wear under those long black robes?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

26. Speaking of judges, do you remember this story?....

Judge suspected of masturbating in court

29. This may explain that odd comment

Maybe they were trying to soften the effect of this news ahead of time. Scalia was trying to do his bit for his favorite appellant.

[GOPBasher]

25. Hasn't the Christian Coalition banned these yet?

:shrug:

[prayin4rain]

27. Well, that is cute...who knew a Bush was capable of cute behavior?

[coloradodem2005]

28. So. What is the morality of naked parties?

Dare I ask? Of course, we all know Bush's fundie friends would give him a free pass on it. Only bad if a democrat's kid does it. :eyes:

[TrogL]

30. Nudity - the great leveller

There's no point in wearing a power-suit to a nude party. You have to leave it at the door.

Wonder how much her towel would get on Ebay?

[InhaleToTheChief]

31. Pictures? Who's got my pictures?

;)

I bet that would piss daddy off a few weeks before the election. Naked pictures of his daughter on a "level playing field" with 3 or 4 Yale frat boys.

Seriously, where are all the "I did Barbara, huh huh huh" Yalies?

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

33. They've probably all been paid off.

Or shot, if they're scholarship.

[many a good man]

32. She must have slipped her leash

Its HARD WORK keeping those girls on a leash. Its HARD!

[The Chronicler]

34. Bunch of freaks (nm)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

35. Scalia must be going turgid on reading of this

I'm sure he fantasizes of naked orgies with the Bush twins.
