Fire contained at office building next to White House

[ondeadline]

The Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which houses much of the White House staff is burning. No word about how this fire started.

On cable news, you can see firefighters banging windows out of the building and smoke billowing out.

It's Wednesday. Trash barrels full of soon-to-be-subpoenaed files and videos are getting burned. Standard-issue shredders leave too much in this day of cutting edge forensics.

I thought Friday at 6:59 p.m. was trash day in DC.

The Bill Of Rights has been on a national tour and it was scheduled to visit that building today.

Quality work.
Unless, of course, someone got hurt in this fire, then you're going to hell.

Faux News is saying it's an electrical fire in a closet next to the VP's office.

The firefighters are being denied access by the Secret Service.

No ****ing lie.

Homeland Security says that the fire is contained.

Translation: Mission accomplished.

No ****ing lie.

However, in a related story, one was shot by **** Cheney.

Are we winning the war against the fire in the closet?

Did the closet have weapons of mass destruction?

Will we attack the neighboring closet next?

Nice split screen of the fire next to the "press conference" of the Bush energy bill signing. Haven't heard so much clapping since the Gundy rant.

Edwards got in trouble when he brought up that issue in the 2004 VP debates.

I hope Ainsley Hayes wasn't in there [/"West Wing" fanatic]

Was Ronald Reagn's son still in that closet when it caught fire?

Yes. Pope George W The Decider.

Was this the left wing or the RIGHT wing of the building?
Conspiracy theorists want to know.

With this administration, I wouldn't be surprised if it were some hanky-panky.

I'm thinking they were trying to burn something, like CIA tapes stockpiled in the closet.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read this. I'd like to know exactly who trains them. Before the war I went to a W speech with a friend and they nearly kicked her out of a high school gymnasium (where it was being held) because her kids were making noise.

It all started when the kids, who were terrified of ALL dogs at the time, freaked out over the bomb-sniffing German Shepherd. The officer with the dog was very understanding and pulled the dog off into a small room on the side while the kids went through security, but the secret service guys were on them like hounds for the rest of the day.

Oh yes Mr. Secret Service man. Here in America we use two, three and five-year old children to do our dirty work. Thanks for doing your job.
