Clinton staff accused of vandalising White House
President George Bush is reported to have ordered an investigation into possible systematic vandalism of the White House and its offices by outgoing members of Bill Clinton's staff last weekend.
The allegations are said to include a range of much more serious damage to government property than the previously reported "prank" involving the removal of the "W" keys from dozens of White House computer keyboards. Among the new damage being examined are cut phone lines, filing cabinets that have been glued shut and pornographic pictures left in office printers.
The damage was particularly bad in the offices previously occupied by staff working for former Vice-president Al Gore, whom Mr Bush defeated in November's controversial election. Mr Gore's wife, Tipper, was reported to have telephoned Lynne Cheney, wife of the new vice-president, to apologise for the mess.
One report said graffiti had been painted on a door frame saying "Office of Strategery", a reference to a Saturday Night Live spoof on Mr Bush's occasional difficulty with multisyllabic words.
The evidence is said to include obscene messages on answering machines and misconnection of phones, and some printers were found to have pornographic pictures interspersed among blank paper loads. Filing cabinet drawers had been glued shut, the report claimed.
The reports coincide with claims that Mr Clinton's last ride in Air Force One, from Washington to New York on Saturday afternoon, was the occasion for an orgy of pilfering. The presidential plane was reported to have been "stripped bare" by souvenir-hunting members of the outgoing administration's staff. Among items missing were china, silverware, and salt and pepper shakers, most of which bear the presidential seal, according to a diary item in the Washington Times yesterday.

Clinton Transition Left $15,000 Damage, GAO Says
A yearlong investigation into whether Clinton administration aides left the White House in fraternity-party disarray as they vacated the presidential premises has turned up about $15,000 in damage, according to a government report released Tuesday.
Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.) asked the General Accounting Office last June to look into allegations that Clinton staffers had ripped phone cords from walls, left obscene voicemail messages, defaced bathrooms and vandalized computer keyboards by removing the “W” keys when they left the White House. A number of items, including a 12-inch presidential seal and several antique doorknobs, were assumed stolen.
“The Clinton administration treated the White House worse than college freshmen checking out of their dorm rooms,” Barr said Tuesday. “They disgraced not just themselves but the institution and the office of the presidency as well.”
The GAO concluded that “damage, theft, vandalism, and pranks did occur in the White House during the 2001 presidential transition.” The report stated that some incidents, such as removing keyboard keys, placing glue on desk drawers and leaving obscene voicemail messages “clearly were intentional,” and intentional damage would constitute a criminal act under federal law. No prosecutions are planned, though.
Clinton supporters countered that the amount of trash was typical of any presidential turnover and that there was little money to replace chair backs, desk locks, mirrors and other items broken before the transition due to ordinary use. Items that Bush administration officials replaced, including two cameras and 26 cellular phones, were left in the presidential offices, Clinton staffers told investigators.

That was child's play compared to what these bitter woketards are going to do over the next few months.

Instead of the long-held tradition of the outgoing President leaving a letter in the resolute desk, Jill might deposit one of Joe's poop-filled diapers in the top drawer. Or all of them.
