(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..
