Looking For The Governor -- Why Not Let Someone Experience From The Phone Sex Hotline Help You Instead

Calls for Barbour reach 'hot girls'

Callers to Gov. Haley Barbour's toll-free telephone number aren't greeted by the voice of his secretary.

Over a cheesy beat, a woman refers callers to another number, where they can hear "hot girls" for 69 cents a minute.

This past spring, Barbour's office changed its toll-free number, but the new version didn't make it in time for the 2006-07 State Government Telephone Directory.

Meanwhile, the original number was given to a phone sex hot line.

"That number is unacceptable to the governor," Barbour's spokesman, Pete Smith, said. "And we're examining options to correct it. The correct number is (877) 405-0733."

The database of state phone numbers was sent to the printer and none of the 4,000 directories could be changed, said David Litchliter, Information Technology Services executive director.

"It was a timing issue," Litchliter said. The phone number will be correct in next year's directory, he said.
