JESSICA SIMPSON NIXES W.

March 16, 2006 -- LOS ANGELES - Concerned about politicizing her favorite charity, actress Jessica Simpson yesterday turned down an invitation to meet with President Bush - a snub that left Republicans dismayed.

The blond "Dukes of Hazzard" star still plans to visit Washington today to lobby Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a nonprofit venture offering free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children with facial deformities.

But she declined a request to appear that same evening at the gala fund-raiser of the National Republican Congressional Committee - even after she was offered some private face time with the president.
