On the Jenna Bush Wedding Snub of Jew David Lauren

We have doubts as to whether this is true, but it's awkward if it is: According to the Daily News, the shadowy WASP elders who preside over the Bush clan didn't invite David Lauren, son of Ralph Lauren and boyfriend of George Bush's niece Lauren Bush, to Jenna Bush's upcoming wedding because they think the Polo heir is not only too old for Lauren, but also too Jew-y.

David, 36, has been dating Lauren, 22, for three years, and still hasn't popped the question, much to the dismay of Lauren's conservative grandparents. And then there's this:

"'There are religious difference,' one [source] points out. 'Would he expect her to convert to Judaism?' Lauren's mother, Sharon, is a devout Christian."

David's actual surname is Lipshitz; his father famously changed it to Lauren when he realized that "Ralph Lipshitz" didn't quite fit the profile of a company whose logo features an an aristocrat playing an aristocratic game on a horse.

Of course, there's also a more reasonable explanation for David's snub: only 200 people have been invited to the Crawford, Texas, nuptials, a number that precluded former president George Bush from inviting his own siblings. Whatever the cause of David's non-invite, though, Prescott is no doubt smiling from heaven. Or hell.
