The transition scandal that wasn’t
It was the stuff of sensational news reports and indignant commentary. Departing Clinton staffers, the reports said, had shamefully vandalized the White House, destroying office furniture, leaving obscene greetings on voice-mail machines, and defacing walls with graffiti mocking incoming President George W. Bush. The Clintonites had even trashed Air Force One, wrote the late presidential spokesman Tony Snow, then a columnist, leaving it looking “as if it had been stripped by a skilled band of thieves.” Except that it never happened. After a yearlong, $200,000 investigation, government inspectors said White House offices suffered only ordinary wear and tear. Nothing was taken from Air Force One. And what little intentional damage had been inflicted in the White House was trivial, such as scraping the “W” off computer keyboards. “What often happens in Washington,” Snow later explained, “is that gossip becomes news. That’s not a good thing.”

This will be very traumatizing for them and I actually feel like adults who put their children in this position are selfish.

Thank you for a sane post from a Republican!

I don't think desperate even begins to describe the problem!

Shortly after we moved to the Eastern Shore, in 1999 or 2000, my oldest daughter was on a field trip to Assateague Island State Park with her science class when suddenly the Secret Service descended upon them. Seems President Clinton had decided to visit the park to deliver a speech about a bill he was signing - don't remember what it was exactly but it had something to do with beach replenishment programs I think. He took the time to talk with the students, pose for picture after picture with the students and shook every single students hand. She took a whole roll of film, and then weeks later we received a signed photo of her with President Clinton in the mail. It was totally awesome. I think she told him that she had campaigned for him when she was 5 years old! She still remembered going with me for the weeks leading up to that election!
