Fire Destroys Clinton Campaign Office
A fire at a new Indiana Office Firefighters are investigating a blaze that destroyed the presidential
campaign office of Hillary Rodham Clinton in Terre Haute, Indiana. They had only been there for 3 days, and were still in the process of setting up the office. Two campaign workers were in the building when the fire broke out.
Attempts to contact the candidate at 3 am. were unsuccessful. When asked by reporters this morning if she was aware that the fire had broken out during the night, she responded "I'm sure the Obama campaign had nothing to do with it." When pressed she clarified "I don't have any reason to believe that the Obama campaign had anything to do with it ... as far as I know." She also mentioned that none of the campaign's cars had been stolen.

Just read a report - here's what you left out: the two campaign workers were online hacking into Obama's social security records and toking up with Prez. Clinton (it's okay, he didn't inhale) when one of them knocked over the bong and it set some yard signs on fire (darn things are FLAMMABLE). Secret Service was able to get Bill out of there and into bed just as the phone started to ring at 3am (fortunately, the "grueling campaign schedule" meant Hillary didn't hear it ring). No one was hurt, but the campaign's already saying they won't pay the rent on the office because 1) they never intended to in the first place and 2) it's not there and you can't pay rent on a building that isn't there just like you can't count the delegates of a state that doesn't count.

CNN says there were no TVs in the wreckage.
