Back in May 2006 Jenna Bush was spinning away on - what else? - a spin machine when the instructor of her DC Sports Club class took a few cheap shots about her dad’s “stupidity” and handed out DVDs highlighting a few of the more goofy Bushisms.

The wily instructor Glenn Makl soon claimed not to know that Jenna was in his class and that he was “horrified” to find out what he had done (he’s a lawyer, too, kids).

That was after Jenna’s now-fiance Henry Hager called Makl up and gave him a verbal shake-down. (Remember, Hager once worked for Karl Rove, so he’s probably pretty good at all sorts of shake-downing).

When we talked to Makl recently he said he’d always remember Hager’s call: “The kid was steaming mad,” he told Big Head DC. “He wanted to protect her.”

Ah, how sweet. But the tongue-lashing couldn’t have been too too severe. After all, the controversial spin class instructor returned as a substitute spinner at the club earlier this year.

And Jenna, apparently, hasn’t worked out since.
