We're getting reports that all of Laura Bush's lovely Christmas decorations may have bumped some of the White House's usual art out of the building. Like the official portrait of Bill Clinton. A Wonkette operative writes:
A friend of mine just got the chance to get a White House tour, and she really wanted to see President Clinton's portrait close up. She couldn't find it, and an usher quietly told her that it had been taken down to make room for Christmas decorations. But there was Bush 41 and Reagan still on the wall.
We understand keeping Reagan up there -- you can't take his painting down, he's dead. And we're sure there's a reasonable explanation for why Clinton would get the hook. We just don't know what it is.
Anyone with more information on this pressing matter of great national significance -- or guesses on exactly where they put Bill in the interim -- please feel free to give us the scoop at tips AT wonkette DOT com.

It had to be taken down. It stained itself....
Wonkette... Not again. Total Airhead.
It's at the Blue Dress Dry Cleaners on Massachusetts Ave.
Makes perfect since to me. Bwahahahahahahahaha. Parley
It's probably hanging in the little kitchen in the oval office.
Sent to the cleaners to remove some *stains*? I know that sink was replaced.
Many portraits were taken down and put in safe storage till after the Christmas Holidays
Tell your friend to watch the show HGTV had about decorating the White House during the holidays ... they explained why they are put in storage
Maybe they're filling the holes made by darts.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Not only is Reagan's picture not down, I can state confidently it wasn't left up because "he's dead" as Cox so charmingly states, but because he is revered, and most likely even loved, by the Bush administration.
In fact, I just watched the latest Christmas Barneycam and President Reagan's portrait is very prominently featured during part of it.
And we're sure there's a reasonable explanation for why Clinton would get the hook. We just don't know what it is.
Is this bimbo for real?
LOL
Check the silverware, too.
Maybe Hillary had it taken out to have it air brushed......again. That botox paint doesn't last forever.
Either Barney put it in the red wagon, or it is properly eclipsed by a Christmas tree.
Gee, I sure hope they find it after Christmas. ..Yep, I sure do...
Dear Wonkette,
Perhaps you noticed that Jimmy Carter's portrait isn't up either? There is a good reason for that, Jimmy and Bill's
portraits are now hanging in a place of honor, a place they
belong, in the Barney Room.
The painting of Clinton is in the ashheap of history.
