The scandal starved tabloid fotogs and reporters have never seen a more boring administration than the eight lean years of George W Bush. Even the Carter years look good with at least some lust even if it was only in his dirty little presidential heart... nevermind, the wild fantasies they still have about a president like Bill Clinton.
So when the juicy rumor hit the street that the out going President and the First Lady were shacked up with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in her love den in the Watergate Hotel complex, the paparazzi and their wild eyed wordsmiths sped lights and sirens to the Washington crime scene.
National Inquirer, The Star and every british raunchy rag burst through the door cameras flashing and video streaming. Hyperbolic hopes abounded with visions of scarlet thongs and flesh dancing in their heads.
And a threesome they did find. Three handed poker that is with Laura puffing on a panetella, Bush in a panama hat and condie serving lemon squares. Tabloid headlines read: "Press Witnesses Threesome in Afterglow!"
