The Top 16 Surprises in the White
House Coffee Videotapes
House Coffee Videotapes
- Clinton uses the old “Say that again into my good ear” trick to look down a dress or two.
- To nobody’s surprise, Hillary insists on Equal.
- Bill more interested in China than Nancy was, if you know what I mean.
- President caught sucking the filling out of donuts with a straw right before guests enter.
- Styrofoam cups stamped “WARNING: Coffee is served very hot. Don’t spill it on your checks.”
- Newt Gingrich seen in the background making off with all the Bavarian Cremes.
- Irate Al Gore beating Juan Valdez over the head with a churro, screaming, “Where’s the other 10G’s, coffee boy?”
- A special unannounced appearance by Reno, Warrior Princess.
- Clinton makes good on the misprint in the White House Coffee Brochure: “$50,000 gets you a visit with Hillary in the Oral Orifice.”
- For only $100,000, Bill makes coffee come out of his nose.
- “Okay, Al, repeat after me: ‘Show me the soft money!!'”
- Two cups of coffee and Gore runs around the room screaming, “Bats! Run, everybody!”
- It takes a huge contribution to pry a scone out of Bubba’s greedy hands.
- Prez pulls the old “Oh, no! I spilled coffee in my lap. Better take these pants off!” routine all too frequently.
- “We’ve secretly replaced the enormous bribes normally found here with Folger’s SoftMoney Crystals…”
And the Number 1 Surprise in the White House Coffee Videotapes…
- At $50,000 for a small latte and Danish, still cheaper than Starbucks.
