At least Barney is safe...thank God!

In the midst of the chaos yesterday at the White House, the folks evacuating the building forgot to tell the press corps. Apparently a public address system was placed in the press work area after the 9/11 attacks, but no one bothered to get on the horn yesterday.

According to Editor and Publisher, several reporters were ordered to evacuate personally by Secret Service personnel, but many reporters kept working and even enjoyed their lunch while the "crisis" ensued.

It should be noted that Barney, the President's dog ,was briefed on the situation immediately.
