Go to page 47 for the discussion on keyboards and missing "w" keys. As is usually the case, the "truth" lies somewhere in the middle.

Schmoking gun. Ty, there is a still a chance to redeem yourself with an apology to the Board, Hank and me.

Aside from the amusement factor of your inability to take a joke, who really gives a fuck?

From the report:
  • According to a limited number of OP, GSA, and former Clinton administration staff we interviewed who worked in the White House complex during previous transitions, as well as a press account that we reviewed, some of the same types of observations that were made concerning the condition of the White House complex during the 2001 transition were also made during the 1993 transition. These observations included missing office signs and doorknobs, messages written inside desks, prank signs and messages, piles of furniture and equipment, and excessive trash left in offices. We also observed writing in a desk in the EEOB that was dated 1993. In addition, words and initials were reported observed carved into desks during the 1993 transition, which were not reported observed during the 2001 transition. On the other hand, no one said they observed keyboards with missing and damaged keys during previous transitions, as numerous people said they observed in the White House complex during the 2001 transition.

I think that last thing is because taking off the "C," "L," "I," "N," "T," and "O" keys from a keyboard would have been a little too subtle.

Unlike you, I read the thing, and I still think it suggests the story was bogus. I have no doubt that some "W" keys were removed from keyboards, and that outgoing staffers left "Office of Strategery" signs on some doors, but I also don't see what that has to do with anything.

I don't care that they stole (or didn't) the w from a few dozen typewriters. Dumb joke is all. How Ty can read something that says "We didn't look at those reports" as proving the reports were wrong is what is troubling people here.

PS read pps. 40+ of violin's report not just p. 47

As a taxpayer, I do. These clowns work for us and we should all care. Plus its damn disrespectful, what gutter were these little scumsuckers raised in?

Finally, if one of my firm's fired employees stole firm property, I would fire them. again.

The story does not suggest its bogus, it corroborates it. There were "w"s stolen. Why can't you admit it?

Also, what it has to do with anything is that it evidences the legacy of Clinton. An unhealthy disrespect for our system.

Clinton came into office and showed an unhealthy disrespect for our intelligence community. As a result he undermined our intelligence capabilities which ultimately led to 911.

Clinton lied and made a mockery of our system of laws.

Clinton mocked the impeachment process and shat on our Constitution in the process.

The legacy, his agents defaced government property for partisan affect.

Also, rainbow parties.

It is a pattern of lies and fraudulent manipulation of fact that flows directly from FDR's lies that preceded our entry into WWII.

Alot of what you acuse Clinton of doing above roughly tracks the way you and Paigow have ran your "insurgency." Does Clinton at least get a credit in your manifesto?

Yes, like you, I am nothing if not derivative.

eta: I am not admitting that rainbow parties were employed as an insurgency tactic. Like Spank, I don't kiss and tell. nttawwt

The board already has a penske. There's not really any need for you to stoop so low.

Who would have ever thought that organizing a trip to Crawford, Texas, would result in someone writing me hoping that my wife gets cancer and dies and my sons are killed in a terrible accident? That sentiment was fairly typical of the hundreds of e-mails we've received after our bus trip to Crawford Friday night to show support for President Bush and the soldiers fighting the war on terror.

Sad commentary on the state of liberals today. The Clintons really destroyed any sense of honour, class and dignity in the Democrat Party.
