[My Favorite Headache]

Suspicious package found at the gates of the White House..press corps being rushed out of the area by SS

[kimmie7]

hmmm

[craig_eddy]

One has to think that President Bush’s final State of the Union address would be a nice target for any terrorist wanting to prove his/her point.

[Constitution Day]

[My Favorite Headache]

Individual being questioned by SS...package found by the west wing

[AppyPappy]

Dennis Kuchinich dropped his leftover campaign materials at the WH

[dfwgator]

Hillary going ‘Scorched Earth’?

[evets]

[Liberty Valance]

With all the cameras around there it shouldn’t be hard to find the owner of the “suspicious package’.

[My Favorite Headache]

West Wing evacuated...

[Rick.Donaldson]

You’d be real surprised at the number of cameras in strange places, too. LOL

[stevie_d_64]

Did someone get caught tapping their toes again???

Geesh...

[G8 Diplomat]

Bush’s fault.

Ok seriously....the SOTU is coming up, which is always a major target for terrorists since all of Congress, most of the Cabinet, and the Prez and VP are there. I’m betting on terrorism here.

[My Favorite Headache]

Man threatened the President and tossed package at the White House....he is under arrest.

[Conservababe]

What time is it on Cental time?

[tobyhill]

Arrest made for threatening the President. Another liberal wacko, probably from Code Pink.

[SlowBoat407]

Was it the “really good package” the aliens promised us?

[Ancesthntr]

One has to think that President Bush’s final State of the Union address would be a nice target for any terrorist wanting to prove his/her point.

Tom Clancy thought of that one a long time ago.

[xjcsa]

Definitely true and always a cause for concern, but the package is at the White House; the State of the Union address happens down the street at the Capitol.

[G8 Diplomat]

I’m not sure when the SOTU is on, sorry. I’d guess 8 or 9 eastern, which would be 7 or 8 central. Don’t quote me on it though.

[Ancesthntr]

...press corps being rushed out of the area by SS

They should use the WH press corps like the bomb squads use robots or dogs.

[tsmith130]

9 pm. EST...so 8 pm Central

[Mr. Brightside]

press corps being rushed out of the area by SS

Rushing pres corps OUT of the area?

Why not put up a table with free coffee and doughnuts for reporters right next to the suspicious package?

[michigander]

[MaryFromMichigan]

That’s not mysterious.

It’s a sock.

:)

[bella1]

Bill Clinton’s testicles?

[weegee]

What’s the pool on DUh posting a thread complaining that the “timing is suspicious” and claiming this is another publicity stunt for saging poll numbers.

[tcrlaf]

“They should use the WH press corps like the bomb squads use robots or dogs.”

Cheaper, and much easier to replace....
But doesn’t that violate the GSA’s “Made-in-America” rules???

[abb]

Why not put up a table with free coffee and doughnuts for reporters right next to the suspicious package?

Prolly some kind of DC Law about baiting I imagine. Like shooting ducks or doves in baited fields - wouldn't be sporting.

[weegee]

You let the wind out of his sales. Funny how he and his wife formerly used the power of the Senate to rail “against” such entertainment media portrayals of celebrities.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

“...press corps being rushed out of the area by SS

They should use the WH press corps like the bomb squads
use robots or dogs.”

They would dampen an explosion also.:)

[Nick Thimmesch]

“Man threatened the President and tossed package at the White House...”

Maybe he was delivering a copy of the Demonrat’s response to the SOTU.

[I'm ALL Right!]

G.O.P.’s ashes?

[Snardius]

I think Helen should take one for the team...

[KosmicKitty]

At first glance I thought it read “Press Corp rushed TO area”

Hee-hee, Hey, Helen Thomas, here’s a package for you.

[stinkerpot65]

Hillary's presidential girdle.

[illiac]

Web Hubbel (sp) must be returning those documents......

[SMARTY]

Like canaries in the coal mine

[i_dont_chat]

Rolling Stone Magazine cover:

Are you suggesting this is a suspicious package?

[quark]

Probably some rolled up carbon credits.

[mad_as_he$$]

This never would of happened had the virtual fence been installed around the WH. I just do not understand why this superior technology has not been implement around our critical buildings. The person would have immediately tracked and “neutralized” by the fence with this inconvenient evacuation./s

[RSmithOpt]

The Bi-Partisan bailout package from Congress??

[ravingnutter]

Uh-oh...what about the San Antonio Spurs vs. Utah Jazz game? It comes on at the same time, Bush may lose viewers. Although, it’s no problem at our house, we have four TVs with three of them being in one cabinet...one for Fox News or movies, one for sports (kept on mute mostly) and one for Nintendo, LOL!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

This is Hillary hoping to deflect attention from Kennedy's endorsement of Obama.

The Clintons cheat.

[tsmith130]

Tivo? And don’t ask me which one to TIVO!

[gunservative]

The US postal service finally delivered the package containing Monica Lewinsky’s thong.

[COBOL2Java]

Suspicious package found at the gates of the White House

Al Gore was near the White House gates?

[F15Eagle]

unfair!!! — making me giggle on such a serious thread!!!

[b4its2late]

That picture of Algore always grosses me out.

[b4its2late]

Good one!
