Ahhhhhhhhhhh..... Feels better already. JLA Sunday, Jan. 21, 2001 12:50 p.m. EST Bush Clean-up Team Scrubs Clinton Stains From Oval Office As one of his first acts as president of the United States, George W. Bush ordered a top-to-bottom scrubdown of the Oval Office complex where his predecessor carried on a messy affair with a 23-year-old White House intern. Bush had "a SWAT team" of two dozen cleaners scour his future workplace, beginning just four minutes after he took the oath of office, the New York Daily News reported Sunday. From 1995 through 1997 Monica Lewinsky and ex-President Clinton had sex in the hallway and annex just outside the Oval Office door and often left behind towels stained with lipstick and other substances for White House stewards to clean. Clinton sometimes used the Oval Office sink to finish the encounters. During a campaign appearance on "The Late Show" with David Letterman last fall, Bush joked that a post-Clinton office scrubbing would be a top priority - but never gave a hint that he actually meant to do it. Besides the removal of whatever physical stains Clinton left behind, Bush ordered an immediate revamping of his office's decor - including the removal of almost every artifact from the Clinton era. Among the items swept away by the Bush clean-up SWAT Team: Clinton's gold damask Oval Office drapes, his gaudy royal blue floor rug and couches upholstered in glitzy cherry red and cream silk. Bush had movers resurrect the more elegant ivory and beige terra cotta carpeting favored by Ronald Reagan and installed more sedate furniture. The two dozen direct-call phone lines ordered by Clinton during his first week in the White House (a feature that allowed him to call Lewinsky for phone sex without detection by White House operators) have also been replaced. The new president will have instead direct telephone links to his wife, Laura, Vice President Cheney and other senior White House staffers. "By day's end, there was little to suggest Bill Clinton had ever been [in the Oval Office]," reported the News.

<<GWB does not have an energy policy. >> Bitch, bitch, bitch. You'd bitch if they hung you with a brand new rope. So after one day he doesn't have an energy policy in place. Clinton didn't have one after 2,918 days.

Who cares about an energy policy,it`s America, right.Free markets and all,I for one am quite sick of seeing Democrats marching aroud whining about the cost of natural gas etc. if you did not provide for youself who do you think should.I work each day for wages and I budget those monies so I can give 30% to the government and meet my families needs,that 30% is give to abortionists,drug addicts, the dems filled the senior living hi-rises with drug addicts and losers that I work each day to support.I am not happy, I would like to see the whiners do for themselves and return their hands to their own pockets!I don`t owe them anything it`s your life, change it if your not happy,education seems to be a start.Bush says he wants to start the change but I see the resistance already,if in fact learning for many becomes common then who will be left to install the dems in office,because without the various hate groups that carry their water,network news included they would perish.California suck it up, you are led by losers it`s obvious,this is not a surprise.Pay the bill and quit trying to find a scapegoat aside from your selfish selves.You hate industry, you say corporations are evil, now is your chance to run them out of your state,shut off the power and they will leave I assure you.
