Bush Twins Gone Wild



The Bush twins were spotted running naked through the halls of their hotel in Buenos Aires, according to one press account. But with a dad like Junior, how could that possibly be true? Still, we're keeping an eye out for the video over at Youtube.

U.S. embassy officials asked the Bush twins to leave Buenos Aires due to security concerns that have arisen because the Argentinean press has been having a field day following the antics of the twins, reports ABC Blotter:

Amid a growing barrage of front-page headlines, U.S. embassy officials "strongly suggested" President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, cut short their trip to Buenos Aires because of security issues, U.S. diplomatic and security sources tell ABC News.

Stories of the twins' visit took on wild proportions in the Argentinean press. One tabloid headline had the young women running nude in the hallway of their hotel, a report the hotel staff denied to ABC News.

According to sources, the U.S. embassy encouraged the two girls to cut their stay short because the added attention was making their security very difficult. But to the dismay and anger of some U.S. embassy and security staff, the girls stayed on.

Thursday night, an ABC News producer was able to walk into their hotel unchecked and engage Barbara Bush in conversation while she checked her e-mail on a computer in the lobby. Jenna sat talking with friends on a sofa nearby. No Secret Service agents were anywhere to be seen in the lobby, according to ABC News' Joe Goldman.

Sources tell ABC News the twins plan to stick to their original itinerary and stay in Buenos Aires until Thursday.

Update: "Barbara Bush left Argentina late Sunday. Jenna, however, plans to remain in Argentina until Dec. 6, sources told ABC News."
