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

We already knew the boss was a pig. Now we find out that his underlings were oinkers, too. No surprises here.

The final report will come out.

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

Interesting that the people that came up with the line about "dragging a $100 bill through a trailer park" turned out to be the biggest trailer trash of all.

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

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!!!

Not To Worry. Bill Clinton promised to pay for any damage his guys were responsible for, the only requirement was he needed a list!

This statement was made by Clinton when Ari was alternating between they did and they really didn't.

That picture is the true legacy of Bill Clinton. It says it all.

The report reinforces the notion that Clinton himself was unfit to serve.
One of the most important character traits a President must have is the ability to surround himself with the best people possible. In Clinton's case, he obviously surrounded himself with juvenile scumbags just like him.

This doesn't even mention all the stuff that was stolen from Air Force One. I saw loads of that stuff on Ebay being auctioned off for personal profit.

The dems asked for the paper work to be revealed (put up or shut up). GAO has a report. Now they whine that it is excessive and yet not expensive enough to warrant the excercise.

I'm tired of demorat waffles. They're stale!

He'll put together a donations fund for his pals in no time, I'm sure. < /sarcasm >.

Did this man ever pay a fine he was assessed with his own $$$?

Both sides will offer alterations to the report before the GAO completes its formal draft, expected in June.

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.
