But Did the Disks Inhale?
Some White House computer disks containing the President’s health care reform bill need urgent treatment of their own.
The disks distributed by the White House--to Bloomberg Business News, at least--came infected with a virus called Stoned III. It puts this message on the screen: “Your PC is stoned--LEGALIZE MARIJUANA.”
The White House put the health bill on two 3.5-inch disks and distributed 1,000 sets Thursday. The White House insists only healthy disks were handed out.
But a Bloomberg spokeswoman was equally insistent. “The only place we have found the Stoned III virus,” she said, “is on both White House disks.”
