Bush bans sex films from Air Force One

George W Bush has ordered that X-rated sex and violence be cut from in-flight movies on Air Force One. Reporters flying with the US president have noted he has cut any offensive material from the films. They say Bill Clinton always ran the uncut versions of X-rated Hollywood blockbusters during flights.

The change is part of Bush's promise to "restore the honour and dignity to the White House", reports the US News & World Washington Whispers column.

It claims that, during the Clinton years, Air Force One always ran uncensored versions of Hollywood's "filth and violence".

It was the kind of films Clinton and Gore regularly condemned when they were talking up family values, adds the column.

Whispers reports: "Scribes remember awkward moments during the Monica Lewinsky scandal when former President Clinton briefed the press during several steamy scenes."

Last November, an elite Marine guard stationed at Camp David claimed on a Washington radio station that the presidential retreat at Camp David was littered with pornography during the Clintons' tenure.

'Tons of Porno' at Camp David, Guard Reveals

Camp David, the super secure presidential retreat now at the disposal of Bill Clinton and his senator-elect wife, is littered with "tons" of pornography, a Marine guard who works there told a Washington D.C. radio station last week.

Two days later, after admitting to his superiors that he spilled the beans, the guard lost his job, the Washington Post reported Friday.

"Lesson to the U.S. Marines guarding Camp David. If there are girlie mags on the grounds of the the presidential retreat, keep it to yourself," the Post advised.

None other than Clinton accuser Paula Jones sparked the nudie magazine flap, when she appeared with DC101 morning man Elliot Segal to discuss her own revealing pics in this month's Penthouse.

Segal invited listeners to call in and say what they thought of Jones' photos.

Minutes later, a man was on the phone saying he caught a glimpse of her Penthouse layout at work.

SEGAL: Where do you work?

CALLER: I'm a guard at Camp David.

SEGAL: Are you saying there's porn at Camp David?

CALLER: Oh yeah, there's tons of it.

The next night, DC101's promotion team was at a Maryland nightclub near Camp David where a group of Marines told station staff that they'd cost their buddy his job.

A Marine spokesman confirmed to the Post that a presidential guard had been disciplined for talking about Camp David's nudie mag stash.

"The question was asked, the individual showed some honor and integrity and raised his hand and admitted his mistake," Maj. David Andersen said. "Camp David is a premier post of our Corps. Marines are screened and selected using stringent guidelines."

"One of which, apparently, is a ban on talking to the media," observed the Post.

The White House refused to say whether the Marine's account about porno magazines at Camp David was accurate.
