U.S. Capitol Evacuation
Jun 29, 2005 8:10 pm US/Eastern

Washington, DC (AP) District of Columbia police were aware of a brief evacuation of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday evening, unlike the last time the U.S. Capitol was cleared because of a potential emergency.

The Capitol and the White House were briefly evacuated after a small plane ventured into restricted airspace. The all clear was give a few minutes later.

Following a similar alert last month, Mayor Anthony A. Williams complained that city officials were never told until after the fact. City and federal officials promised to increase their cooperation after that.

my :tinfoilhat: may be on too tight... but this has a whiff of manipulation about it...

last month the evacuation came on the heels of news stories about bush*'s numbers tanking. now we have another evacuation on the heels of news stories about how his speech fell short of expectations...(i.e. it tanked)

Since September 11, 2001 - when the bushies were in trouble either because poll numbers were circling the toilet or other stories shed a bad light on bush* - we were treated to various alert colors.

Are planes and evacuation of DC replacing the terra-lerts? It's kind of funny that we haven't had a terra-lert since just prior to November 2004 (s)election, but all of a sudden there are plane alert/evacuation two months in a row.

Meanwhile - did anyone tell bush* about the evacuation this time - or were they afraid to wake him up form his nap?

1. They actually moved him to a "secure location"

with his gameboy I suspect and his blankie and binkie

2. Its worth it. Really

Just watching all the White House hacks running across the lawn and down the steps like little piggies trying to get away from Godzilla makes it all worth while. At least we are getting something for our money.
