President Bush is ordering an investigation into whether the price of gasoline has been illegally manipulated, his spokesman said Monday.
During the last few days, Bush asked his Energy and Justice departments to open inquiries into possible cheating in the gasoline markets, said White House press secretary Scott McClellan. Bush planned to announce the action Tuesday during a speech in Washington.
What a crock. This isn't dead on, but it's close enough. Bill Hicks has been dead for twelve years, but this is what he had to say about the first Iraq war, and I'd say its pretty relevant to Bush investigating the very industry that made him rich.
You know we armed Iraq. I wondered about that too, you know during the Persian Gulf war those intelligence reports would come out: "Iraq: incredible weapons - incredible weapons." How do you know that? "Uh, well...we looked at the receipts."
