Letter 'W' Missing From White House Keyboards
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush (news - web sites) 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 (news - web
sites) 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.

Ex-First Lady Hillary Keeps No-Eye-Contact Rule
She may no longer be first lady. But even as a senator, Hillary
Clinton is apparently determined to keep her royal distance from us
commoners.
A leading conservative columnist has now corroborated earlier
reports of Mrs. Clinton's reluctance to make eye contact with her
associates - and reveals that the behavior is ongoing.
In October NewsMax.com cited a report from WABC Talk Radio's Steve
Malzberg, who said a friend at another New York radio station
claimed that when Hillary dropped by for an interview, strict orders
were issued.
"No one is to make eye contact with the first lady," the source said
station employees were told.
In his book "Unlimited Access," former White House FBI agent Gary
Aldrich reported that a similar edict had been issued to White House
staff.
When one admiring aide who didn't get the word rushed up to meet her
Hillaryness, he was immediately rebuffed with an ice-cold stare that
let him know he was way out of line.
A friend, says Aldrich, explained the new rule to the crestfallen
staffer:
"When 'Queen Hillary' walks down the hall, you're not supposed to
look at her. You're actually supposed to go into an office if there
is one nearby. She doesn't want staff 'seeing' her."
Now, renowned conservative columnist Robert Novak reports that Queen
Hillary's Senate colleagues are getting the same treatment.
"At the first session of the Senate Environment and Public Works
Committee attended by Sen. Hillary Clinton, a senior Republican
senator Wednesday tested the report that it is impossible to make
eye contact with her."
"He said the report turned out to be true," Novak wrote in his
Sunday column.
