No Oil Talks With Saudi Prince

[erpowers]

I just learned that the spokesman for the Saudi Prince stated on a PBS business show that Bush and the Prince did not talk about oil at the Crawford ranch. The Prince had already talked to Cheney about the oil issue the night before. So one can wonder what Bush and the Prince actually talked about.

2. Here is how the conversation went.

B: Prince,we need to get a good distribution worked out for the opium, heroin and other goodies that our Afghan friends are growing like crazy.In fact, I should say I could use some of that good stuff myself.

S.P: George, can you come here and give me a kiss.On the cheek, of course. I am going to organize this with my cousin Osama bin Laden.You know him, don't you? He is a sharp cookie. He can do whatever he sets his mind to do.

B: That will be great. My Harvard B School Prof always told me find the right person for the job and delegate it to him.

S.P: One last thing.I would like to charge $4 a gallon for gas by the end of 2005 and $5 a gallon by the end of 2006. We can't do all these things for free you know.

B: I understand. You, as always, are right.

3. They just walked around and posed for

the cameras. Bush said "These here is our State flower", and the Saudi guy said "They are very beautiful", and that was that.

Cheney handles all this stuff. There was a great picture taken a little while ago that showed Cheney standing outside the Oval Office waiting for a press photo-op to conclude. Bush sits with a foreign dignitary for pictures, then Cheney steps in and does the work.

It would be amusing if I weren't an American. On second thought, it's still pretty funny.

4. Well it is strange that days following the visit, news came out about the

near death of the Saudi leader. That Saudi Prince is likely to be the next leader, being the brother..(kissing and holding hand terms with *)...Yet there may be some problem with that situation ...70 siblings that feel they may have the right to the throne...interesting times.
