I love a good wind up

If this is true it is so funny. I nearly pissed myself when I read it. Apparently the staff of President Clinton in the Whitehouse, on leaving, removed all the 'W' keys from the keyboards so no one could type George's full name

Damn, that is such an English thing to do.

WHITE HOUSE OFFICES LEFT 'TRASHED': PORN BOMBS, LEWD MESSAGES; LEGAL PROBE CONSIDERED

**Exclusive Details**

The Bush Administration has quietly launched an investigation into apparent acts of vandalism and destruction of federal property -- after incoming Bush staffers discover widespread sabotage of White House office equipment and lewd messages left behind by previous tenants!

Harriet Miers, 55, Assistant to President Bush and staff secretary will be investigating possible legal ramifications of the White House trashing and possible theft, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"Miers is just beginning her investigation," a well-place source said late Wednesday from Washington. "The level of the trashing is very troubling, this is not just 'W' keys missing from keyboards."

The damage left by departing Clintonites goes "way beyond pranks, to vandalism", said a close Bush adviser.

White House employees aren't waiting to be interviewed by Miers. They are providing names of the worst malefactors, previous occupants of specific offices.

Photographic and audio evidence is being collected -- as the full scope of the damage becomes clear.

Bush's staff has been cautioned not to go public with the extent of the damage and the worst is being closely held among very top staffers for fear of leaks. But, according to sources, so far Bush officials have found:

*Phone lines were cut, rendering them inoperable.

*Voice mail messages were changed to obscene, scatological greetings. One Bush staffer had his grandmother call from the Midwest. She was horrified by what she heard on the other end of the line.

*Many phone lines misdirected to other government offices.

*Desks found turned completely upside down and trash deliberately left everywhere.

*Computer printers that were filled with blank paper but interspersed with pornographic pictures and obscene slogans that would be revealed only as items were run off the computer.

*'W' keys weren't just pried off more than 40 keyboards, some were glued on with Superglue; some were turned upside down and glued on.

*Filing cabinets glued shut.

*VP Office space in the Old Executive Office Building found in complete shambles. Mrs. Gore had to phone Mrs. Cheney to apologize, first reported by Rich Galen's Mullings.

*Lewd MagicMarker graffiti found on one office hallway.

Separately, the WASHINGTON TIMES reported that Air Force One was "stripped bare" during the former president's "official" farewell flight to New York on Inaugural Day.

All the plane's porcelain china, silverware, salt and pepper shakers, blankets and pillow cases — most of it bearing the presidential seal -- were taken by Clinton staff, a military steward told the paper.

G, if any of those things are true, then yes they cross the line. Although I am gonna be honest. I would hardly call the Drudge Report a reliable source of information. Its a satirical site and fabricates as much as its truths. Much like it UK paper equivalent Private Eye which I have shown you in the past.

That's odd sp00ky, I just went back to the site and checked: I can't find one piece of satirical writing. Can you?

G, I don't really want to argue with you about this one. The original post I made was not meant to start an argument. The fact is is that if the outgoing staff did just this, it is funny, regardless of my politcs, its funny.

As for the Drudge Report, I am not going to trawl through the whole site to answer your rather amusing challenge of 'read my lips' (I take it that was satire? or was it freudian?). The fact is that the Drudge Report is unreliable, and in my opinoin, would be considered a satirical publication, at least in the UK because it deals in flimsy facts and make lights of them.

Lets not argue. Lets hug. After all you are the Jedi Master.

FoxNews just reported the vandalism, not quoting Drudge, but insider information given to their reporter. Also the Washington Times reported the theft of the items from Air Force One.

I don't think they are known for their "satirical" writing.

Typical performance from the Clinton White House.
