So just how quick will Fox News drop the Oil for Food thingie?
Edited on Thu Apr-14-05 06:29 PM by MichaelHarris
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A South Korean at the center of an influence-peddling scandal in Washington in the 1970s and a Texas oilman have been charged in two separate federal cases involving bribes and kickbacks in the scandal-plagued U.N. oil-for-food program, U.S. authorities said on Thursday.

I have to do the math real quick for the freeper type trollers, let's see, Texas oilman + ex-Texas Governor now president divided by Haliburton X the amount this guy contributed to the Bush re-election = this guy will never see the inside of a jail cell.

Texan David Chalmers and his two oil companies, Bayoil Inc. and Bayoil Supply and Trading Co., were indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan in a scheme to pay millions of dollars in secret kickbacks to Iraq in connection with the oil-for-food program.

Let the investigations begin, well not the media they don't do that anymore but the bloggers who still care about the truth.

2. Like a hot coal
I'm sure they'll try to insist that Kofi was behind the whole thing for a while longer, but as soon as they get their orders from Rove, it'll be like Oil for Food never happened.
