The General Accounting Office has found that departing Clinton aides vandalized the White House and Old Executive Office Building, stealing two historic doorknobs, scrawling obscene graffiti on walls and inflicting $14,000 worth of damage.
Those who have seen the GAO report, a preliminary document, say as many as 75 computer keyboards had to be replaced — at a cost of more than $5,000 — because Clinton staffers had broken off the W keys, a jab at George W. Bush, the winner of the bitterly contested 2000 presidential election, who was often referred to during the campaign as W.

expensive, encrypted, spy-proof 1990 Tandy keyboards
Jokes, jokes and more jokes. I have so many one liners for that one but taste is something I'm trying to aquire so I will let your imagination do the work for me.
Damn it actually physically hurts to fight your natural insticts.
...stealing two historic doorknobs
Julian Epstein will be taken out of moth balls and The Democrap Lying Machine will go into action.
It will be "us against them" on the network and cable news shows.
They will scream louder and the press will take their side.
The Bush people will be painted as cry-babies who can't get over trashing Bill Clinton.
GW will be portrayed as petty and vengeful.
The public will yawn and agree it's time to move on.
The End
Shoot the offenders. In public.
The Clinton official said less than $1,000 of the $14,000 in damages can be attributed to outgoing staffers, blaming the rest of the cost on simple wear and tear.
Wow! I guess all those x42 people typed so many Ws that they just wore out those keys and not any of the others in their normal course of business. Sure, I believe that! .... NOT!
This x42 official must have studied the new math. When I was in school 5,000 was considered a larger number than 1,000.
I also have trouble seeing how missing doorknobs are a matter of routine wear and tear.
IOW ..... the Dim response is all hogwash!!!
This statement was made by Clinton when Ari was alternating between they did and they really didn't.
How appropriate.
;^o
I'm tired of demorat waffles. They're stale!
Did this man ever pay a fine he was assessed with his own $$$?
The GAO should take their time with this. If they put out the final report by, oh, say, late October, that would be just fine.
Lest Americans ever forget why the clintons, and all their enablers need to be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:
The Holiday *Best* of Bill Clinton & his Friends!

but not near as much as being hit in the arse by historic doorknobs on the way out the door hurt two of the Rotten-KKKli'toons' consigliere!
What upsets me about the Clinton Administration is that it was the handiwork of a corrupt ... yes, that is the right word, corrupt .... journalistic profession prostituting itself for the lizards who helped the Clintons into the White House. James Madison and Thomas Jefferson have been spinning in their graves since 1992.
Now excuse me while I find a barf bag.
WHY NOT ???
Who is supplying these keyboards? I can get a fairly decent one at the local computer store for $10. For $30, I can get a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. If you spend $5,000 for 75 keyboards, that comes to $66 each. Somebody in Contracting is screwing up.
obscene manipulation of the law like you wouldn't believe. outright perjury left and right and the biggest legal guns they could hire. all against lowly low-income single-parent (the people they help, right?) me.
p.s., i didn't stand a chance as i had to hire my own attorney out of my own pocket.
The difference IS the COST of the contracting process--think how much overhead is involved in submitting the requisitions, getting bids, reviewing bids, issuing purchase orders, etc. The gov't can't just have an aid run down to Fry's and buy 75 keyboards the next time they have a special deal.
Add the furnature shipped to New York and Arkansas, the valuable art pieces, the silverware and gifts and it adds up to much, much more.
Never leave a Democrat without supervision.
"the Clinton spin team is still doing what it does best. They consistently refuse to take any responsibility for their actions and instead, seek to shift the blame and obscure the truth."
Sure. They trashed and stold, raped and plundered, but their "victimhood" made them do it.
Or get that huge mucus plug out of the drain. I'd hate to have been the plumer responsible for getting that job done.
One thing the critics don't care to mention is that the people that did this investigation already worked for the GAO, and their salaries would have been paid regardless of what they worked on. The same $200,000 would have been spent if they played computer games, surfed the web, did "home jobs", or slept at their desks.
Soon to be appearing in a Monica work out video?
it's about time for maxine waters to come spitting at the camera. wasn't it 40 million dollars last time?
nothing changed.
Truth is still a vital necessity to the continuence of our republic, regardless of the distastefulness of any truth. That was so about the Nixon administration, and its true of the Clinton administrations.
Reminds me of junior high boys. Oh wait, the last administration was full of arrested development types....
And since both sides don't want to air what really happened this will just go away, like everything else.

First, when this story broke, I seem to remember some company - Office Depot or Office Max - that said that they were donating replacement keyboards. So maybe the $66 was just to go pick them up.
Second, I think you would be very surprised to find out what the government - at all levels - pays for things, from computers to paper clips.
Several years ago I obtained an inventory list, with prices, that teachers used in our local school district. Every item on the list showed a cost of from 50% to 100% higher than you could buy them for at the local Staples. Obviously there are quite a few middlemen.
The same is probably true of books that libraries and schools buy. Do they get prices like you can get at Amazon.com. I doubt it very much.
