White House Conference Call # Directs to Sex Line

White House Corrects Conference Call Number After Directing Reporters to Sex Line

Quote:
 
In a press release, the White House accidentally listed a phone sex number for journalists seeking an "on-the-record briefing call with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jim Jones to discuss the NATO summit."

Journalists seeking to talk a little foreign policy with high-profile Obama administration officials live from the G20 meetings in London this week were solicited for phone sex instead after ringing up the toll-free number given by the White House.

In a press release, the White House accidentally listed a sex line number for journalists seeking an "on-the-record briefing call with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jim Jones to discuss the NATO summit."

But after dialing, a soft-voiced female recording that was clearly not Clinton asked for a credit card number if you "feel like getting nasty."

After several efforts to make sure that the phone number was correctly dialed, a call to the White House resulted in a corrected press release. "If you are having trouble dialing into the call, please try this number as an alternative," and listed the international line included for reporters abroad to dial.

By this time, the conference call was already under way.

Asked for comment about this mishap, Deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton responded: "A corrected phone number on a press release is probably one of the stupider things FOX News has covered lately."


"Accidentally" Oh. My. Sides.

The question is, of course, how "accidental" it was. Of all the errors one can come up with, listing 10 digits, what are the odds that one of them would be to a sex line?

Didn't this happened on American Idol, too. Not that I would be watching or voting, but I did hear about one of the numbers to call being a sex chat line a few weeks ago.

I knew you'd say that. But, which one is cheaper, huh?
