Recently extinguished, a fire this morning at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which houses nearly all of the White House staff, including White House speechwriters, White House communications, senior staff from the Office of Management and Budget and the National Security Council, as well as Cheney’s ceremonial offices.
