SWF seeks home

December 20, 2004

Washington D.C. beware Jenna Bush is in the market for a house. The Bush twins spent their first six months out of college on the campaign trail, and initially rumor had it that the twins wanted to move to New York for their swinging twenties. Jenna was to teach at a magnet school in Harlem, plans have changed and now she is sticking close to her parents. But the White House can’t really accommodate the needs of this single gal. Jenna and three of her friends are looking for a home to call their own. And they came close to renting a 4,500 sq foot in Cleveland Park. The snag in Jenna's plans...the owners, New York Times Paris Bureau Chief Elaine Sciolino (so far all reports of this story have mispelled Sciolino's name) and her husband, refused. It’s apparently not political (unlike the rumored refusal to let the twins into Freeman’s Ally). Instead Jenna’s reputation as a party girl may have hurt her chances or renting this stylish house. What is a first daughter to do?
