White Powder found in envelope in Senator Saxby Chambliss Office. Cobb County Georgia. HAZMAT is on scene. Per AM640 in Atlanta.

Did it come via mail or another means?

[thoughtomator]

It used to be white powder in a government office was assumed to be cocaine. Oh, I pine for those days of innocence.

FYI

[John H K]

Well, the ratio is still about 5,000 to 1 hoax to actual anthrax.

I still submit that "white powder envelopes" simply do not count as breaking news.

[FreeTheHostages]

Is this confirmed? Can you give me any other details?

[TLBSHOW]

clintons coke went to the wrong address?

[JIM O]

It is sad,everything is upside down.

A guy with white powder is not a drug addict

The top rap star is white

The top golfer is white

and the Germans did't want to start a war

go figure

[AngryAmerican]

Anthrax is typically light brown in color.

Nothing to see here except flour or baking powder.

Move along.

[FreeTheHostages]

Can you tell me what you recall being said? I'm here in Washington and know people who know people who like Sen. Chambliss. So we're alarmed by this report. We see nothing yet on the Atlanta Constitutional website. Have any details for us?

[hobbes1]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

[VRWC_minion]

I assumed it was freepmail.

[Petronski]

Your submission os rejected. White powder in a Senator's office with HAZMAT on the scene is breaking news, whether it turns out to be Anthrax or not.

[FreeTheHostages]

I think I have to agree. If it goes to a Senator, that's totally breaking news.

From one month ago... Today's incident is in Marietta office. The news report I heard in Atlanta a few minutes ago said that one person had come in contact with the powder today and was separated from the other workers...

Georgia’s Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss and three other lawmakers received suspicious letters containing a white powder at their Washington offices Friday.

Police tested the powder and said the material was not dangerous.

A spokesperson for Senator Chambliss said the incident appeared to be a hoax.

Letters were also sent to House Majority Leader Tom Delay, Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman and Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander.

If they evacuate the building I would consider it breaking news, even if it ends up being baking powder.

[Kennesaw]

AM640 in Atlanta said the 13th floor of a building has been evacuated which is the location Senator Saxby Chambliss Office in Marietta GA. HAZMAT is on the scene.

[RobFromGa]

My last post is very confusing due to editing after hearing new info on te radio. Sorry for the confusion.

First, there was a hoax a month ago with powder sent to Chambliss DC office. The report I posted was from a month ago.

There is another incident today at Chambliss local Marietta, GA office. One employee exposed to white powder and quarantined. No word if hoax or not.

Sounds like Bill Clinton needs closer supervision.
