Playgirl Woos Michele Bachmann's Son; He Says 'No'

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 19th 2011 09:34AM

EXCLUSIVE: You can't make this stuff up, kids. Following their successful partnership with Levi Johnston, Playgirl magazine informs me they've set their sights on another young man with a Republican media star in his life: Lucas Bachmann, son of possible presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann.

"I'm reaching out to Lucas because when I researched him I was struck by how absolutely adorable he is," Playgirl spokesman Daniel Nardicio tells me. "Plus, I think his political ties make him even sexier. We've made initial contact, so let's see how it goes from there."

But the skin mag will have to move on to another politician's son (Mitt Romney has five to choose from!) because Bachmann, 28, has officially quashed the idea.

Reached for comment (over Facebook), Lucas confirmed to PopEater that Playgirl reached out and that he wasn't the least bit interested. For starters, the politician's son is currently a resident in psychiatry at the University of Connecticut.

"As you can certainly understand," Lucas wrote back to Daniel. "One must have a certain degree of anonymity when treating patients in the mental health community."

The Playgirl rep knew the odds were long. He told me that his staff scoffed when he mentioned the largely unknown Lucas as a potential cover boy, arguing that he would be impossible to get. Then he reminded them that he got Levi Johnston, Palin's almost-son-in-law.

"Lucas is principled, which is also really compelling for our readers," Daniel said.

I agree, and seeing that his mom is expected to announce her presidential plans in a couple months, posing in the buff for Playgirl may not be the best move for the young doctor.

Ahhhhh, some people are just pissed cause their poor choice of candidate in 08' has finally been exposed for the utter sham which is he.

Bachman, Trump, a sock-puppet....any of them would be better than what's fouling up the White House currently.

"IH8Tbggers".....better to be a Teabagger than a douchebagger, although your mom probably prefers the afore mentioned?

"Afore mentioned" eh? I bet you felt really smart writing that, considering that aforementioned is one word, and the word you were looking for was 'former.'

With a crackpot mother like that, I hope he undergoes a thorough analysis himself before treating patients.

Hes Probally waiting till he can pose with His mom... this family is just as freaky as the PALINS

Yeah Doc, and if the very best you can do is revert to some feeble attempt at insulting my intelligence via a spelling mishap then it's you who is the fool. But alas that would be expected from anyone who takes issue with Bachmann's approach to government rather then the typical tax & spend liberal.

Yawn. The Playgirl guy already knew this was a non-story, and you enabled him. A token phone call to a potential poser is not "wooing." Where are the "Playgirl is wooing Johnny Depp, Justin Bieber and Charlie Sheen" faux stories? Levi Johnston is as irrelevant as Playgirl; he's merely a tool with a tool.
