UPDATE II: WASHINGTON (Reuters)

A fire broke out near Vice President Dick Cheney’s ceremonial office in a building overlooking the White House on Wednesday, forcing hundreds of government staffers to evacuate.

Cheney was in the White House with President George W. Bush receiving their morning intelligence briefings when the blaze began and people were evacuated from the executive office building safely, White House officials said.

[...]

The fire appeared to have been contained to only a few offices. Smoke was wafting from one window of Cheney’s office. He usually works inside the White House itself.

Fire Department spokesman Alan Etter said firefighters saw smoke coming out of telephone or electrical equipment and there was no indication of terrorism.

As you can imagine, the Moonbats are in full blown tin foil alert. William Teach has braved the swamps.
