Journalists ringing in to a White House conference call with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton found themselves connected to a sex line.
The reporters were expecting to hear Mrs Clinton and National Security Adviser Jim Jones on the other end of the phone discussing foreign policy and security threats.
Instead they were greeted by a woman's voice asking: "Do you have any hidden desires?If you feel like getting nasty, then you came to the right place," the recorded message continued.
Asked about how the mistake had been made, White House spokesman Thomas Vietor said: "Lots of important issues to cover today!"
He went on: "I haven't dialled whatever number you're referencing. Please call such numbers on your free time!"
The White House has since blamed the bungle on an aide who apparently mistyped the US 800 free number.
