Incoming cloud forces Bush into safe bunker
Julian Borger in Washington
Friday April 29, 2005
The Guardian

President George Bush was bundled into an underground bunker, Dick Cheney was evacuated to an "undisclosed location" and heavily armed secret servicemen took up defensive positions when a fast-moving cloud scudded towards the White House, it was reported yesterday.

The cloud that materialised 30 miles south of Washington on Wednesday morning was so dense it triggered radar monitors on the Domestic Events Network, intended to prevent a repeat of the September 11 attacks.

As an anti-aircraft missile battery on the roof of a nearby building was raised to the fire position, a Black Hawk helicopter was scrambled to take a look, but saw nothing except some clouds, one of which turned out to be the suspected aggressor.

The customs and border protection agency did not return calls seeking comment yesterday, but a spokesman, Gary Bracken, told the Washington Post that a cloud was to blame. "It does happen," he said. "We have to deal with weather anomalies showing up on the radar screen."

2. Remember the hailstorm that ruined his earth day address
Maybe mother earth has it in for them. Let's see the secret service investigate that one.

Or maybe it was the papal smoke cloud ready to do some smiting..

3. Did anyone interview the cloud to see if it had malicious intent?
Maybe it's detained at Gitmo.

6. You're right. The SS should've cuffed the cloud
Now other clouds may get the same idea.

9. Don't you find it odd...
that a friggin CLOUD can't get within 30 MILES of the White House without raising all kinds of red flags, yet Guckert/Gannon waltzes into there on days when there's NO press gaggle and doesn't even bother signing in?

But no one at the White House claims to know anything about him, other than he's just another reporter.

:wtf:
