White House Vandalized In Transition, G.A.O. Finds

WASHINGTON, June 11— The General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, said today that ''damage, theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House complex'' in the presidential transition from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush. The agency put the cost at $13,000 to $14,000, including $4,850 to replace computer keyboards, many with damaged or missing W keys.

Some of the damage, it said, was clearly intentional. Glue was smeared on desk drawers. Messages disparaging President Bush were left on signs and in telephone voice mail. A few of the messages used profane or obscene language.

''A Secret Service report documented the theft of a presidential seal that was 12 inches in diameter from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building,'' next to the White House, on Jan. 19, 2001, the accounting office said.

Six White House employees told investigators that they had seen graffiti derogatory to Mr. Bush on the wall of a stall in a men's room. Other White House employees saw a sticker in a filing cabinet that said, ''Jail to the thief,'' implying that Mr. Bush had stolen the 2000 election. The report said all these employees were members of the current White House, but did not make clear whether any had also worked in the Clinton White House.

A pointer to those newbies who do not remember what a "class act" the Clinton crowd was while they were in power, and why MRs. Bill Clinton should not even be considered as a presidential ('we are the president') contender.

They left out the caricature drawings of Chimpy McBush, the stolen silverware and furniture, and Clintonfriends (markie post, actress?) sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom with pillowfights and jumping-on-the-bed pictures posted on the internet of the occasion(s).

But the Liberals and Democrats later denied it all ever occurred and called the rest of us who remembered it "Liars".

I wonder what will happen when Imam Obama leaves the Executive Mansion?

The demcRATic party....Classy all the way.

[Bullish]

Democrats always keep it classy don’t they?

[Bogie]

Seems to take a long time to do the study.

The clouds will part and sunshine will remove the darkness this country has been in for the last 8 years.

Markie Post?

[Popman]

Wow... I thought this was a current finding unti I saw the dateline....

I would have not been surprised if it took the government 16 years to figure out what happened....

[bubbacluck]

The Lincoln bedroom looks different from what I remember....

[norwaypinesavage]

Well, Gore got more votes than Bush. I wonder what would happen if.........

[DIRTYSECRET]

Bush said it didn’t happen. Case closed.

I've probably posted about this before but I have a friend that worked in the WH, started in 90, retired in 2002. Went into it as a die-hard liberal, came out of it as a die-hard conservative. He said the vast majority of damage was done by Gore's staff (he referred to them as the Hitler Youth)and that the majority of the staffs for Bill, Hillary and Gore were some of the nastiest people he ever worked with. He did like Clinton, said he was very personable. Did his best to avoid anything with Gore or Hillary who were impossible to deal with.

I would not be so quick to hope for any warm feelings returned your way by Little Markie Lesbo.

Here is the relevant point: “...entered the room to find Hillary in bed with Night Court actor Markie Post.”

Well, one or two of them...

[Little Pig]

Here's the actual incident.

Saw her on an old episode of Night Court the other day. Was she really that slim? On TV she appears shorter and well rounded (in a nice way).

The study was published in 2002.

You're dreaming!

The damage done to the nation by Zer0's administration with the acquiescence of the GOP will take decades to repair...if ever!

[lacrew]

Don’t forget Hillary’s brother raffling off pardons in the final hours.

And to add to the ‘class act’ theme...let’s remember the motorcade to Bush’s inauguration:

Rush says one sentence “I hope he fails”, and its abhorrent...but apparently its ok to ‘protest’ Bush’s inauguration.

[I want the USA back]

I knew that. Why didn’t the Times admit they knew it?
