CB - Not directly fully accessible, a full size opinion piece by the Globe's so-called ombudsman, actually a partisan editorial, as usual - GLOBE WAS RIGHT: NO WHITE HOUSE VANDALISM Published on 05/28/2001. Article 2 of 27 found. SOURCE: BY JACK THOMAS NOT LONG AFTER GEORGE W. BUSH WAS SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT, MANY WERE AGHAST TO READ IN NEWSPAPERS AND HEAR ON TELEVISION THAT IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION, EMPLOYEES HAD TRASHED THE WHITE HOUSE. DEMOCRATS WERE EMBARRASSED, AND REPUBLICANS, STROKING THEIR WALLETS, GLOATED THATTHE OMBUDSMAN THEY KNEW ALL ALONG THE CLINTONS WERE HILLBILLIES. The story began as a gossip item in The Washington Post that the letter "W," Bush's middle initial, had been removed from keyboards, and within... newsmax.com "Sunday June 3, 2001; 12:37 a.m. EDT Bush White House Documents Clinton Vandalism In response to Democrat demands for an apology over allegedly false charges that Clinton administration staffers had damaged White House property while departing in January, the Bush administration has released a list of the vandalized property. Destruction of government property by Clinton staffers included 75 phones that had been "tampered with," including ten where the lines had been cut, the Bush White House said. Twenty percent of the desks in the Eisenhower Office complex had been overturned by Clinton staffers. Obscene graffiti was discovered by Bush staffers in six offices. A 20-inch-wide presidential seal had been ripped off a wall. 100 computer keyboards had been rendered inoperable by the Clinton vandals. Pornography was left behind in White House photocopiers. Trash was spilled throughout the White House counsel's office, along with other assorted random damage. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer catalogued the destruction for Sunday's Washington Post, but did not affix a dollar value to the damage. "The White House will defend itself and the career employees," Fleischer told the Post. "We tried to be gracious, but the last administration would not take graciousness," he added, saying that claims Bush staffers had lied about the incident forced him to respond. "By getting the information out, we hope to put an end to this, so everyone can go on with the policy and business of the government." In April inspectors for the GAO said they found no unusual damage done by the previous administration, but later admitted their investigation included only damage to office space and not office equipment."
