Air Force One Looted on Last Clinton Trip As Aides Trash White House
The super-deluxe 747 that had been Air Force One only hours before the Clintons commandeered it for their flight home to Chappaqua, N.Y., was "stripped bare" by the time it landed, an Air Force steward told the Washington Times Thursday.
At the direction of President Bush, stewards saw to it that the Clintons' last flight would include all the amenities of presidential air travel. But after Bill, Hillary and Chelsea deplaned, reports the Times, porcelain china, silverware, salt and pepper shakers, blankets, pillow cases - anything bearing the presidential seal that wasn't nailed down - were missing.
News of the apparent first family looting of Air Force One comes on the heels of reports that Clinton-Gore aides literally trashed the White House hours before the Bushes moved in.
The damage, reports the New York Post, included "cut cables, phone lines and electric cords - plus a mess of rubbish" left in the Old Executive Office Building.
Obscene messages were left on White House answering machines, computer keyboards were destroyed, filing cabinets were glued shut and anti-Bush graffiti was scribbled in hallways, reported the Drudge Report.
For the time being, the Bushies are keeping their powder dry. "I don't think it was left in as appropriate a fashion as you might like," vice presidential aide Mary Matalin told the Post.
In his Thursday morning press briefing, Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer said the damage is being reviewed but declined to say whether an actual criminal investigation has begun. [/size=2]
