From the Big Huge Hoffmania Bag O' Mail

Looks like we have a fan in DC...

Dear Mr. Hoffmania,

     My friends tell me you're a little confused about my statements regarding security leaks by people here at the White House.

     So, I'm taking a moment from my busy day (that darn rubber ball won't hit the wooden paddle by itself) to clarify.

     I will fire any person who has even the appearance of impropriety in leaking security information.  By that I mean, without hesitation, I will definitely fire anyone who leaks information regarding federal agents.  To put it another way, if someone violates the law regarding leaking information about security agents, that person is going to be removed.

     Still not getting it?  Well, far be it from me to call somebody slow.

     Let me type this more slowly so you'll understand.  If any person on my staff, or anywhere here in the White House commits a crime, they are out of here.  Which means any person working here who is convicted by an impartial jury of committing a crime, and then that conviction is upheld on appeal, cannot work here.

     What it all boils down to is this:  If you commit a violent crime, in an unauthorized way, against a person whose security is vital to this country, you can forget your job here.  You're toast. Don't let the door hit you on the backside mister, you are history.

     So, here's the final version, for the record:  If you are coordinate an organized crime cabal in the White House, and personally commit multiple violent crimes, and are videotaped doing so, and are  convicted by an impartial jury, and that conviction is upheld in the highest court in the land,  you better pack up my friend.  Because pretty soon, maybe not this week, maybe not this month, but pretty soon, you are gonna be out of a job.

     I think.

     Hope you're having a great summer!  =)

All the best,

GWB, POTUS

Thanks, Steve...
