Run-of-the- WP:MILL comedy site which got some sparse coverage from notable media sources. At best, this is a case of WP:1E, with that one event being the conflict with Cheney's office. Outside of this one event, every last reference is either from the site itself (a primary source if there ever was one), or non-notable sources that, in some cases, would provide a "reference" for any website (like WHOIS).

The book provides five pages of coverage about Whitehouse.org. The book notes in the "Overview" section of the chapter:
WhiteHouse.org is a satirical site—an acid-tongued spin on President George W. Bush and his administration. When you realize your mistake, you may be tempted to exit the page and head to the real White House Web site (www.whitehouse.gov). But if you flee, you'll be missing one of the best examples of biting, incisive satire on the Web.
As with all effective satire, Whitehouse.org is impolite, perhaps even a tough vulgar. Fans of the Republican administration will likely be put off by the harsh tenor of much of the site's "news" articles. But if you believe that the purpose of the popular press is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable (the creed of many professional journalists), you'll realize how firmly this site is rooted in the American tradition of muckraking.
The article notes:
Shortly after Bush was "appointed" by the Supreme Court, John Wooden thought Bush's new White House would be "super-meaty project." All he needed was a name, and the whitehouse.org web domain just happened to be free.
Wooden's parody is a mirror distortion of the real White House's web site. Whitehouse.org is complete with clickable links to things like the Department of Faith, Homeland Security, and Fraternal Affairs. ... Back at Whitehouse.org, the main page also offers Onionesque press releases, including: "President's Armed Forces Radio Address to America's Troops on the Glorious Occasion of their Retroactive Induction into Eternal Martial Slavery" ...
The article notes:
The site (www.whitehouse.org) lampoons senior members of the administration, from the president on down. The Bush Administration, it says on one page. Courage. Passion. Faith. Petroleum. Xenophobia.
The site is meant to be a parody of the actual White House Web site (www.whitehouse.gov), Mr. Wooden said.
Mr. Wooden, of Brooklyn, said he has operated the site since 2001, and no one in the Bush administration had complained before the letter from Mr. Cheney's counsel, David S. Addington.
