THE MISSING LINK
A cover-up at Whitehouse.com?
![]()
Which White House has had 85 million visitors since 1997? Not the one at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Whitehouse.com -- a porn site that has probably made more than one person say "I didn't know you could do that in the Lincoln bedroom" -- is about to put on some clothes and play it straight. The owner, who has become a father since launching the site, says he's through with the blue side of cyberspace and wants to sell his domain name
to a more family-oriented operator. The site has no doubt shocked people who went there looking for the prez's cyberspace place (which is whitehouse.gov).
