ROB LOWE: PRESIDENT CLINTON ONCE LET MY KIDS HANDLE NUKE SECRETS

WEST WING star Robe Lowe claims President Clinton once let Lowe's two children play with the special briefcase that holds the coordinates for the nation's nuke bombs!

Lowe says that during one White House visit -- the president did nothing as his kids toyed with the case across the South Lawn.

"My kids were carrying the football -- the briefcase with the nuclear coordinates with all of our launch codes," Lowe tells the magazine in fresh editions. "My 7-year-old and 4-year-old had the nuclear launch codes of the United States."

The episode occurred after Lowe and his family watched Clinton give a radio talk in the Oval Office, the actor reveals.

All joking aside, it was safer with them than that Guy Who Hillary Hired away from O'Malley's Grill and Tap Room.

[BunnySlippers]

Yikes. Bizarre!

[dts32041]

I am sur[rised that is the only thing the boob let them play with.

Must have been adults around.

[TLBSHOW]

Clinton is a..... oh never mind!

[america76]

Irresponsible, add that to the ever growing list of Clinton charcter flaws. Is there no end to his shame!

[Charles Henrickson]

Lowe security.

[Charles Henrickson]

The nuclear family.

[Grut]

The 'football' is mostly hype. Any realistic nuclear war scenario calls for days of advanced notice as the situation develops and by the time the codes are needed the President is off somewhere in a shelter or airborn on NMCCC, where the football is definitely redundant.

So, let the kiddies have fun with it. It might as well serve some useful purpose.

I thought they all decided Vince Foster (or insert any other dead guy here) must have hired him.

[Republican Wildcat]

Irresponsible fool.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

BTTT. I see you still keep an eye on Drudge. Congrats on getting another exclusive!

[Ol' Sox]

Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. The "football" is in the care of either a Lt. Colonel, naval Commander or Marine Major from the White House Military Office. Somehow I don't see a Marine Major letting the kids play with it.

[Texaggie79]

Let's see. How would a democrat view this incident?

Well first let's take logic and reason out of the equation.

So let's see: "Aww comm'on they're just little kids. I just shows how much Clinton cares for kids. How sweet to let them play with the briefcase."

[Texaggie79]

Ya Drudge is pretty good. He ain't no though.

[Erasmus]

The old saying comes to mind:

Be the first kid on your block to blow up the world!

[bmwcyle]

And Clinton had the officer walk the streets of DC with the nuke football. Then the liberals thought Ron R. was a mad man with nukes.

[gfactor]

is lowe this desperate for attention?

[carmody]

Wasn't it about one year ago when "quidam" said that the "football" had been taken away from bill?

[Astronaut]

Not surprised. Scumbag Clinton was never fit to be in the Oval Office and guard our nuclear secrets. He treated everything else like a joke and his personal toy; why not the nuclear football?

[Tacis]

This is not accurate. These kids did not play with the nuclear codes. They simply played with the brief case. By this time, Willie had already sold the contents to the Chinese.
