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

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."

Well, that's one way to conduct foreign policy and to get people to agree with you.

Can you imagine?

Hi Sergey, are you feeling naughty today? Come on over and please bring with you those plans to denuclearize the region.

2. Maybe this wasn't accidental....

This might just be the solution for the deficit...:fistbump:

6. Well, it gives a new meaning to "reach out and touch someone."

It would also be one way to get all those foreign leaders to agree to our proposals.
