Bush Twins Arrested After Wild Melee Celebrating Saddam's Execution
Washington -- (Reuters) -- President Bush's twin daughters, Barbara and
Jenna, were arrested and charged with indecent public exposure,
drunkenness, malicious property damage, and disorderly conduct this
morning, a Capital police spokesperson said.
Capital police arrested the twin daughters of the President at 1:30 am
outside the Kit Kat Disco on Lincoln Avenue. Both were reportedly nearly
naked when Jenna, according to eyewitnesses, threw a newspaper vendor
machine through the club's front window, breaking it.
"I heard Jenna scream, 'Thank God Saddam's f--king dead because he tried
to kill grandpa!', and then all hell broke loose," Todd Yuoung, a Kit Kat
bouncer said. "She picked up the vendor machine and hurled it through the
window, and then Barbara kicked out the rest of the window glass."
Patrons said the twins had gotten "very drunk" and began to challenge each
other to strip off their clothing. Witnesses said both women, aged 25,
used obscene language in describing the execution of Saddam as they
stripped.
"They were cursing like crazy, topless, and down to their panties when
they ran out into the street," Yuoung said. "They wrestled and punched
each other and screamed a lot just before police showed up. Both were
singing the National Anthem when they were handcuffed."
Police had trouble subduing the intoxicated twins, forcing one officer to
use a taser stun gun on them, a police spokesperson said. Secret Service
agents protecting the twins said they were unsuccessful in calming them
down, but patrons reported the agents stood by and did nothing to stop
them.
"The Secret Service agents just laughed and said things like, 'We're happy
Saddam's dead and you deserve to celebrate,' " one patron, a young woman,
told Reuters. Witnesses said police had to finally stop the disturbance.
"They were fighting us hard and we decided to put them down with a taser
to prevent any serious injuries," the police spokesperson said. Capital
police refused to comment on reports that Secret Service agents encouraged
the women.
The White House Press Secretary's office said they had no immediate
comment, but would issue a statement later today. They would not confirm
nor deny rumors the President and First Lady Laura Bush told Press
Secretary Jack Snow they wanted to "send the twins to Iraq" for the
trouble they've caused.
No was was seriously injured during the hour-long disturbance, but some
patrons said Jenna had a "black eye" and Barbara was bleeding from her
nose.
