Reporters call Hillary Clinton, get phone sex line

[GoesTo11]

Journalists who dialed in to a White House conference call Thursday hoping for a media-friendly reception got a far friendlier response than they were counting on.

Instead of hearing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jim Jones on the other end laying out foreign policy and security threats, reporters were greeted by a recording on a phone sex line.

"Do you have any hidden desires? If you feel like getting nasty, then you came to the right place," said a suggestive-sounding woman.

The White House says an aide merely mistyped the 800-dial in number — a mistake not likely to happen again.

14. Journalists get shock with 'sexy' White House call

Source: AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Journalists based in the United States got a shock Thursday when they dialed a toll-free number to join a conference call with senior officials accompanying US President Barack Obama in London.

The number turned out to be a sex chat line inviting callers to use their credit card numbers.

"Do you have any hidden desires?" a sultry voiced woman asked.

"Well, do you feel like getting nasty? Then you came to the right place -- brought to you by the girls of Swank magazine," she said.

Reporters finally got through to the two officials in London -- National Security Advisor James Jones and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- when they gave up on the US "800" number and instead dialed an international number.

The White House did not offer an explanation when asked how it sent the wrong number in an email listing both numbers -- one for journalists in the United States and the other for those overseas.

"Lots of important issues to cover today!" Thomas Vietor, a White House spokesman, told AFP when asked about the mistake in a follow-up email.

When pressed further about the number, Vietor replied: "I haven't dialed whatever number you're referencing. Please call such numbers on your free time!"

[psychmommy]

18. this happened to me when i called comcast once.

i dialed one wrong number and got the sexy hi do you wanna have some fun. hahahahaha. i am too cheap to do that but, times are getting hard and i just might set one of those lines up at my house.

[antimatter98]

19. I am sorry to see the trivial invade DU. Anything to distract people. n/t

[armodem08]

22. Self-interested assholes...

Like anyone else really cares that they dialed the wrong number. They even asked multiple questions in a press conference about it. REPORT THE NEWS! No one cares about your wrong number! This is like Obama's last press conference, where half the headlines the next day were about who got called on and such. And they think people care...

[Twinguard]

23. This is vaguely amusing,

but since when does a dumbass dialing the wrong number constitute a news story?

Fantastic journalism CNN... keep it up.

[damntexdem]

24. Got Bill by mistake, huh?
