From a thread last Friday:

Here are a few paragraphs from the 2000 Enquirer story:
But with less than a year to go to the 2000 election, the first big sexual broadside has been fired at the Bush bandwagon by 35-year-old Tammy Phillips, a partner in a gym in Carrollton, Tex.
As an ENQUIRER team looked into her bombshell claims, we learned that Tammy is a former stripper, who began dancing in clubs when she was only 14. She claims she was introduced to Gov. Bush by her uncle, a prominent Republican, in early December 1997 during a political function at a hotel in Midland, Tex.
"I was wearing a tiny miniskirt -- and it was instant combustion," she told The ENQUIRER.
Tammy alleges that she and Gov. Bush made passionate love that very day before leaving the hotel.
