Web site takes down photo of Bush daughter at frat party

Associated Press

FORT WORTH - A picture of President Bush's daughter Jenna at a fraternity party has been removed from the Web site of the company hired to take photos at the weekend event.
   The picture of the 19-year-old, flanked by five Texas Christian University students, was posted for several days with hundreds of other photos taken at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon bash near campus Saturday night.
   Flash Photography always posts pictures after events so students can order them easily, but owner Rick Strong declined to comment why the Bush picture was suddenly missing Friday.
   "I really can't say, but our main goal is providing a service to the students and protecting them," he said.
   Melissa Blanton and other TCU students said they saw Bush escorted by Secret Service agents at the party. TCU freshman William Ashe Bridges, who later was arrested for public intoxication after police raided the bash, is in the picture with Bush, several students confirmed.
   White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said the president's administration had nothing to do with the picture's removal.
   Bridges, 18, claimed he was Bush's boyfriend and allegedly called her from jail early Sunday morning, said Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson.
   Bridges was released under standard procedure four hours later and picked up by a man that jail personnel believe was a Secret Service agent.
