White House insists President is not out to screw most Americans by cutting taxes even more for the rich.

They reiterate that all Americans will get what they deserve.

Looking for nude Romanian gymnast photos?

I am starting to get many google hits looking for them. The photos of Claudia Presecan, Lavinia Milosovici, and Corina Ungureanu can be found here. No not "here" but here.  (Used to be here, but the account was supended.) Not that I would post their names and phrases like "naked gymnasts" or "nude balance beam" in an attempt to get more google hits. I guess I can show two of the less revealing pics.

From left, Claudia Presecan, Lavinia Milosovici, and Corina Ungureanu at a press conference.

They each received about $40,000 for appearing in the Japanese DVD, which in Romania is probably a hell of a lot of money. The scenes filmed are not pornographic. The girls, or now women, were filmed performing on standard gymnastic apparatuses. While there have been many other stars who have posed nude, this may be the first time any have done so while performing underfull athletic sweat. The ban, which is not actually for posing nude but for using the emblems of the Romanian national team, should have little effect on the three gymnasts as they no longer compete internationally, and they can still coach in other countries. Ungureanu has appeared nude before, in a 1999 Romanian edition of playboy.

By the way, these are not the svelte young girls you saw perfoming in the Olympics. They are older, and no longer have their competitive physique.
