The cover of the Aug. 7 issue of Rolling Stone (soon to get smaller) features those fantabulous Jonas Brothers and the headline: “God! Girls! Guitars!”
And now governors!
Ex-governors, that is. Seems that former Idaho Gov. Dirk Kempthorne is upping his cool quotient with the tweener crowd by hanging with Mickey Mouse’s favorite boy band. Kempthorne and the Jonas Brothers shot a public service announcement together today at the White House, according to a blog at Washingtonpost.com.

"Hi, I'm Nick."
"I'm Joe."
"I'm Kevin."
"And I'm Dirk, and we're the Jonas Brothers."
"No we're the Jonas Brothers. You're the Secretary of the Interior."

Ha-ha! Actually, that may or may not have been the script, the Post admits, but apparently Kempthorne was “having the time of his life” with the squeaky-clean Jonas boys. Oooh, oooh, I hope Dirk gets some Jonas goodness in his iPod. There's that one awesome song about going out on a date with a girl and her bringing all her crazy friends along. But with the country's energy crisis and all, I think he'd be better off with "Year 3000," which could save the world. It's about traveling to the future — and the future is totally underwater! Gosh, maybe John McCain will pick them as his vice president running mates if Paris Hilton hasn't already beaten him to the punch.
