| Depressed and demoralized White House staffers say working at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is ?life in a hellhole? as they try to deal with a sullen, moody President whose temper tantrums drive staffers crying from the room and bring the business of running the country to a halt. ?It?s like working in an insane asylum,? says one White House aide. ?People walk around like they?re in a trance. We?re the dance band on the Titanic, playing out our last songs to people who know the ship is sinking and none of us are going to make it.? |
