Thought this was kinda humorous -- <blockquote>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 scrub-down 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. Even one of the president's naval valets, who had been summoned before the Starr grand jury, testified he and other attendants feared picking up tissues found around the Oval Office because of the presidential stains. Other testimony indicated that Clinton sometimes used adjacent offices (Nancy Heinrich's comes to mind) and the Oval Office sink to finish the encounters in a satisfactory manner. 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 intended 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.</blockquote> I don't know how much of this is true, but it is found <a href="http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2001/1/21/114738">here</a>.

I wonder which Democrat will order the cleanup of the cocaine residue and drool stains Dubya will leave during the next four years! ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
Two assumptions: 1) A Democrat will follow GW. 2) The Democrat won't want to take care of the cocaine residue himself. ------------------
Of course a democrat will follow GW. Its a cycle. The Republicans screw up the country with their selfish "agendas". Then, a democratic pres is elected to repair the damage. They fix the country up, and nearly everyone is happy. A Republican is then elected again, and the cycle starts all over. After the dumbest person in presidential history is finished, it will be a landslide victory for any Democrat. By the way, a poll recently released found that if Gore was to run against Dubya again, the real president-elect would win by 9 percentage points. Gore in a landslide... ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
If nearly everyone is happy with the Democratic presidency, then why would nearly everyone that is happy not re-elect the Democratic president again?

Where can I find those bumper stickers? I must have some. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
I can only hope so. It all depends on whether he wants to run again. I guarantee that a dem will win, but who? Hillary? Al? Gephart? ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."

If you ever had a half decent English teacher, they would have said that you could make just about any statistic say whatever you want. When they predicted Bush would win the popular and Gore would win the electorial and it turned out the opposite, this should give you clue that you can't listen to the media. Get over it and accept that Bush is the president, stand behind him and support him instead of finding every excuse why he won and what a horrible president he is. ------------------ its all good and fun till someone gets hurt ... then its absolutely hilarious!
For what its worth, cleaning the White House is done after any president leaves office before the next one takes office. So I think people are making way too much of a deal over this. "Get over it and accept that Bush is the president, stand behind him and support him" NEVER!!!! ------------------ 'Deeds, not words, shall speak me.'
