Washington's Evacuation Scare

Thursday May 12, 2005
"Congress was evacuated and it caused a 15-minute interruption of getting absolutely nothing accomplished." —David Letterman

"This is absolutely true. During the scare Vice President Cheney was inside working while President Bush was outside riding his bicycle. So it was a typical day at the White House. Remember the last time this kind of thing happened, he was reading a children's book. This time he was riding a bicycle. How old his he — 12?" —Jay Leno

"There hasn't been this kind of panic and evacuation in the White House since that night in '98 when Hillary came home early." —Jay Leno
