Hear the Voice of Harriette Walters, While You Still Can

Nice work by the Post's David Nakamura over at D.C. Wire -- he figured out that you can still call an old extension at the Office of Tax and Revenue and hear an outgoing message that begins, "You've reached the office of Harriette Walters." Apparently officials decided to keep the line active with Walters's voice message to see if anyone would leave a message for her that would aid investigators. We just gave it a call ourselves -- 202.442.6762 -- and indeed, there is Walters, sounding officious as she leaves instructions on how to reach her. Give it a call yourself if you've ever been curious what her voice sounds like, but do it fast. Odds are good the city is going to shut it down now that random residents are calling it for kicks.

I just called and what a HOOT! Her voice sounds criminal, like she's up to no good (and knows it). Everyone should call!

or just go to the city paper's blog and hear it without leaving your computer.

Hahaha - even funnier, she doesn't do the "I will return your call within 24 hours or the next business day" spiel that DC gov employees are supposed to do (it was an old Mayor Williams requirement on voice mail.) Guess she can't return calls from the pokey!

well, it's shut down already. poo.

I can just imagine some investigator checking her voicemail every morning, hearing an automated reminder for brake inspection from her Bentley dealership and just throwing the phone across the office in disgust.

i just called and left a message in which i asked her 'with all that money, how is it you look so bad?'-i suppose she will fit right in in prison as she already has a criminal dress sense...
