Emotional intelligence probably doesn't come into the picture with the crew that just left.

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!

Harriet Miers, 55, Assistant to President Bush and staff secretary will be investigating
possible legal ramifications of the White House trashing and possible theft, the DRUDGE REPORT
has learned.

"Miers is just beginning her investigation," a well-place source said late Wednesday from
Washington. "The level of the trashing is very troubling, this is not just 'W' keys missing
from keyboards."

The damage left by departing Clintonites goes "way beyond pranks, to vandalism", said a close
Bush adviser.

White House employees aren't waiting to be interviewed by Miers. They are providing names of
the worst malefactors, previous occupants of specific offices.

Photographic and audio evidence is being collected -- as the full scope of the damage becomes
clear.

Bush's staff has been cautioned not to go public with the extent of the damage and the worst is
being closely held among very top staffers for fear of leaks. But, according to sources, so far
Bush officials have found:

*Phone lines were cut, rendering them inoperable.

*Voice mail messages were changed to obscene, scatological greetings. One Bush staffer had his
grandmother call from the Midwest. She was horrified by what she heard on the other end of the
line.

*Many phone lines misdirected to other government offices.

*Desks found turned completely upside down and trash deliberately left everywhere.

*Computer printers that were filled with blank paper but interspersed with pornographic
pictures and obscene slogans that would be revealed only as items were run off the computer.

*'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. Mrs. Gore had
to phone Mrs. Cheney to apologize, first reported by Rich Galen's Mullings.

*Lewd MagicMarker graffiti found on one office hallway.

Separately, the WASHINGTON TIMES reported that Air Force One was "stripped bare" during the
former president's "official" farewell flight to New York on Inaugural Day.

All the plane's porcelain china, silverware, salt and pepper shakers, blankets and pillow cases
— most of it bearing the presidential seal -- were taken by Clinton staff, a military steward
told the paper.

It's really not much of a statement to state that the entertainers dislike the Republicans. I caught Brokaw on Rosie O'Donnell putting down Bush last week. Just what kind of breaks in taxes or programs are the entertainment industry getting from the Democrats, anyway?

Why not judge Bush's intelligence on the actual deeds he does as president instead of on your pre-conceived notions of how smart he is? I think you will be surprised. On the other hand, I might be disappointed. We'll see.
