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.

Couldnt have been Hillary or anyone on her team. They wouldnt have waited for Cheney to leave the building.

So any bets on how long before the Dem’s accuse Dick Cheney of starting the fire to hide documents?

So, the White House is now part of a
compound? I'd think that the White House and Eisenhower Executive Office Building would more properly described as a
complex.
Of course, the term compound does have a much more sinister connotation to it so I'm sure it was inadvertent that they chose to use it. </sarcasm>

Yep, the Moonbats are in full cry. It's an orgy of vicious gloating and illiterate paranoia, as documented at
Little Green Footballs.
Besides the usual bloodthirsty wishes for harm to come to Cheney, comparisons to the Reichstag fire seem to dominate comments from the lefty faithful. Obviously, Dubya is going to blame this on the Bolsheviks, we sheeple will believe it and go along with the totalitarian measures that result, and thousands of peaceful hippies will disappear into the Rocky Mountain Gulag (duly prepared by Hallibushwater and other evil minions, of course). Sheesh.
