XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED JAN 24, 2001 18:51 ET XXXXX WHITE HOUSE OFFICES LEFT 'TRASHED': PORN BOMBS, LEWD MESSAGES; LEGAL PROBE CONSIDERED Exclusive Details The Bush Administration has quietly launched an investigation into apparent acts of vandalism and destruction of federal property -- after incoming Bush staffers discover widespread sabotage of White House office equipment and lewd messages left behind by previous tenants!

'W' keys weren't just pried off more than 40 keyboards, some were glued on with Superglue; some were turned upside down and glued on. Filing cabinets glued shut. VP Office space in the Old Executive Office Building found in complete shambles.
