Embarrassing Chelsea Photo Hushed-up by Press Friday, June 15, 2001 10:19 a.m. EDT The press had no qualms about publishing an embarrassing photo of first daughter Jenna Bush earlier this year, snapped as she tumbled on top of a friend at a University of Texas party - cigarette and drink in hand. Nor did the TV networks defer to any sense of propriety when Jenna's dress strap became entangled in her father's cufflink as they danced at the inaugural ball. Video of that nearly-mortifying moment is still being re-run in news profiles of the first daughter. But an equally embarrassing photo of Chelsea Clinton has been ruled verboten by the media, even though it's been circulating for years on the campus of the college she attends. "There were pictures of her underwear floating around campus forever," says Chelsea's Stanford University classmate Ben Lipson, who described the former first daughter's over-exposure for Friday's San Jose Mercury News. The incident took place during Ms. Clinton's freshman year at Stanford University, where, after weeks of dance lessons, she attended the school's annual Viennese Ball. "Chelsea entered the swing dance contest and deftly made a cartwheel off her partner's leg," Lipson told the Mercury News. Someone snapped a photo, apparently catching the first daughter in the inadvertently revealing pose. But outside of campus dorms and classrooms, the embarrassing Chelsea pic never saw the light of day. No wonder, given the official campus lockdown on any negative publicity about the first co-ed. "The Stanford Daily, the student newspaper, took the ban the furthest, promising no news on Chelsea unless she made news," the Mercury News reported. "A student columnist was fired from the paper after he wrote a column about the non-coverage." With rare exeption, mainstream news editors across the country adopted the Stanford Daily's guidelines - an accommodation they've clearly decided not to extend to the Bush daughters. In fact, rather than covering up embarrassing photos of Jenna Bush, Clinton media ally Larry Flynt has offered $10 million if she'll pose naked in his "Hustler" magazine.
