Thick black smoke billowed from a fire Wednesday in Vice President Dick Cheney's suite of offices in the historic Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House.
Cheney's office was damaged by smoke and water from fire hoses, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said. The vice president was not in the building at the time; he was in the West Wing of the White House with President Bush.
More than 1,000 people who work in the building were evacuated. The fire broke out on the second floor of the building around about 9:15 a.m. and was under control within a half hour, District of Columbia fire department spokesman Alan Etter said.

That socks!
Best response from the DUmmies (that was actually quite funny)
Something about Cheney forgetting to close the Gates of Hell after his morning commute...
White House Compound? first time I ever heard that phrase used. How about White House fortress? or WH secret hideout?
Causes one to wonder if those documents are still there.
Comment on huff:”CNN reported they saw staffers carrying boxes into the building all morning before the fire. And now they aren’t saying a thing about it. “
Like a game of Clue.. here come the moonbats..
It was Halliburton, in the office, with a paper shredder and a blowtorch.
Fellow Freepers: check out how quickly the Bush/Cheney hating moonbats jumped off the cliff to chime in their hate.

I agree. The administration is in, the administration is there, suck it up and get over it. How does any negative commentary actually make change?
If you want change get off your butts and do something instead of mouthing off. Or, would you rather play the role of Monday morning quarterback, pretending that your plan is better rather than proving it?
Leftists loonies, be afraid, very afraid of the new and improved Darth Cheney. ;)

-THE LONGEST DAY.
Cheney was in the West Wing with the President — this is PROOF that he arranged for it to be done so he could destroy secret files and make it look like an “accident”! /sarc
Cheney should send them a picture of him lighting a cigar with a big match. Autographed.
