24/01/2001 07:52 AM - Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush has lost his middle initial from many computer keyboards at the Old Executive Office Building in the White House complex. In an apparent prank carried out by departing Clinton administration staffers, Bush aides discovered that dozens of computer keyboards were missing the "W" key. Bush aides said on Tuesday that the W is marked out in some cases but often the key has been removed - and sometimes taped on top of doorways - or damaged with the spring broken. Bush made a big deal out of his middle initial during campaign rallies, often holding up the middle three fingers of his hand to form a W. He would joke to crowds that if Vice President Al Gore was so smart, then why does every Internet address start with a W. "And not just one W. Three Ws!" he would exult. Bush aides were working to repair or replace the keys. |

Its not.... Its fucking hilarious. |
*begin dreamlet* bush: is this 911? operater: is this an emergency? bush: they stole my initial!!!! /dreamlet what does the "w" stand for, anyway? |
Who knoWs?? |
and its hilarious....some repubs are actually whining about the cost of replacing some of the Ws. Its like if Dubya can take a joke, like they say he can, he'd reach into his own wallet, pull out a grand and have them go buy 100 $10 keyboards....or if i was clinton, i'd send a check and say lighten up you pricks...it was a good joke. |
