(CNN) – Journalists who dialed in to a White House conference call Thursday hoping for a media-friendly reception got a far friendlier response than they were counting on.
Instead of hearing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and National Security Advisor Jim Jones on the other end laying out foreign policy and security threats, reporters were greeted by a recording on a phone sex line.
"Do you have any hidden desires? If you feel like getting nasty, then you came to the right place," said a suggestive-sounding woman.
The White House says an aide merely mistyped the 800-dial in number - a mistake not likely to happen again.
It's a new administration, but an old problem: Some homeowners seeking mortgage relief from a Bush administration hotline in 2007 instead reached a Texas-based group that provides Christian education after President Bush slightly jumbled the correct number at a press briefing.

What's that phone number ? Mike in Montana
They got the number from Slick Willie.
It would be a good Phone-Line for Mr Wolf Blitzer. I think he's heading for a Breakdown...
Whatever. I still hate her for not quiting the race!
She is really crying for headlines!
Nobody has never had that happen before ? My god report on something more interresting.
Looks like Bill has been tampering with Hillary's number!
Been there, done that!.... It's very easy to do because we always think of a toll free # as an 800 #, when it could be 866 or 888.
Embarrasing, but forgiven!!
I'm sure people will be looking at the negatives of this story, but there is one big positive. At least that wasn't Hillary's voice on that phone message lol
I think there's some irony here.
Ooops! They must have dialed one of Bill Clinton's numbers.
"Do you have any hidden desires? If you feel like getting nasty, then you came to the right place," said a suggestive-sounding woman.
And again maybe it was Hillary?
That crazy Bill is at it again!!
Texas based Christian education group... v phone sex line. same problem, yes... sort of.
Don't you just love politics in America. Four 8 long years George W's Administration talked about building alliances while in reality they were scewing the world. Now Obama's folks are actaully building alliances while the phone number talks about screwing the world. I can't wait to see what Saturday Night Live comes up with for this one.
Called for Hillary, got Bill instead.
Now thats change I can believe in.
Is this news?
Now, THAT'S a Stimulus Package we can all get behind!
HEYO!
Oh,I think the number was probably the right one,it was just that the media was expecting Hillary to be on the line and instead it was Bill.
Is it bill clintions line????
Was that an Obama aide or do we really even have to ask? Dump Obama.
The White House is in serious need of some fun! Too much of the economy it seems.
This sounds like one of the more uplifting White House press conferences.
I always wondered what happened to Monica.
This isn't news. It's a typo. Next.
what was that # again? ha-ha..
There you go Wolf. Conflict again. But you started this!
Is that the phone Hillary was going to answer at three in the morning?
Is there NOTHING she won't try to kill her Campaign debt?!?
Glad to see some improvements at State!
That's pretty funny. Hardly news – but funny.
Indicative of the Taxpayers situation: Getting screwed!
uhhhh... are they completely sure that WASN'T Hillary?
APRIL FOOLS!!!
This is news ... busy day, eh CNN?
Bill should love that...
LOL
maybe it was Hillary, being provocative, to hold their attention. Reporters are easily bored.
Back in college we used to play the 800 number game... we would call random 800 numbers to see if we could actually reach anything that wasn't porn-related. About 99.9% of the time, it was. Which makes the 2007 Bush case highly suspect, statistically speaking.
so what
Gross! That's not what you want to hear when you are trying to reach ol' Hil.
Nice work getting a jab in at Bush though, libs.
has got Bill's fingerprints all over it. He'll never get enough.
Bill's April Fools joke??
This is an SNL skit in the making.
.... must have have given them the number for that other Clinton...
I think they got the right number. I think Hillary was remembering them days back in the White House and wanted to get her some now that Bill has had his. Get some of that ex First Lady Lovin lol.
...then the phone lines were jammed because Bill Clinton kept on calling back..again...and again...and again....
It was Monica Lewinsky Not Hillary Clinton on the other end.
Shouldn't have surprised the reporters. Thye know these people are the scum of the earth but don't report it.
WHERE IS BILL WHEN YOU NEED HIM ?????
Hilarious! "Do you have any hidden desires?" Uh none, that are a matter of national security or anything that the State Dept should be concerned about. Thank you..
After getting that kind of message they'd think they had Bill's phone line and definately not Hill's!!
phone hot line good! why so much talk about it?
Umm, that's a rotary phone. We don't use them anymore. Nice stock footage.
Would of been a great april fools joke. at least there is a sense of humor in these tough times.
Are you sure that's not really Hillary working on domestic affairs to supplement her foreign affairs job?
Seems pretty fitting to me since were all getting SCREWED by this Obama guy and Congress. When will all you weak-minded zombies wake up?
best use of my tax dollars in a long time
I needed a good laugh today! That is hilarious. I always new Hillary had a sense of humor!
...and the lesbians of the world rejoiced!
I frankly don't see what the problem is. Depending on the category of your personal needs, the cited phone lines provide whatever you called for.
Could have been Hillary pulling a Bill Clinton. It's her turn to find her own Mr. lewinsky!!!
So, was it Hillary Clinton on the other end? HAHAHA
Are they sure they weren't dialing BILL Clinton?
Haha...government is great
aaaa
Oooooops, guess Bill got his sex line phone numbers messed up when he had the phone guy in to check the lines.
Get it together white house. Was this some kind of practical joke on Hillary?
Bush gives the wrong number and you get information about Christian education...fairly benign. A Clinton gets the number wrong and you get a phone sex line. The jokes write themselves here.
The journalists must have thought that Bill's fave 5 numbers were listed
sounds like it was not a mistake...aide should be fired...end of story.
I'll bet the Republicans called more than once. lol lol lol
How many times has Bill called?
