Here's a little item in the White House Going-Out-Of-Business vandalism spree that had gone previously unnoted:

The report also, for the first time, reveals that a bust of Abraham Lincoln vanished and was found at former Vice President Al Gore's home.

A Gore ex-staffer is quoted as saying staffers "inadvertently packed" the bust - which Gore returned on July 11, 2001.

Gore spokesman Jano Cabrera yesterday said Gore wasn't even aware he had the bust..."

I can believe that. I doubt if he had sticky fingers--he probably didn't even know who it was.

Well, Al no doubt remembered carving that very bust, so he was probably just thought it was perfectly okay to keep it.
