Dick Cheney Tried To Burn The White House Down To Collect The Insurance

Just Kidding - But It Would Have Made A Great Headline

Real Story: White House Office Complex Catches Fire (Admit It, My Headline Was Way Better)

Fire broke out today in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House grounds, as the President and VP were receiving their oil intelligence briefings.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino stated, "It appears to be an electrical room or closet or a telephone bank." Ah, but the real question is, was the telephone bank wiretapped (you know, since everything pretty much is today).  

Cheney's office sustained, "Smoke and water damage." Yea, but were the oil barrels in his office okay. Tell the truth, it's all that oil in Cheney's office that caught on fire. Oil is very flammable.
