Demagogue

OK, not so much. But this should be, but instead it's just another Bush Administration scandal to add the pile.

A White House document shows that executives from big oil companies met with Vice President Cheney's energy task force in 2001 -- something long suspected by environmentalists but denied as recently as last week by industry officials testifying before Congress.

The document, obtained this week by The Washington Post, shows that officials from Exxon Mobil Corp., Conoco (before its merger with Phillips), Shell Oil Co. and BP America Inc. met in the White House complex with the Cheney aides who were developing a national energy policy, parts of which became law and parts of which are still being debated.

We've always known they were in bed together, only now Washington Post has proof-- they found BigOil's lacy, expensive underwear under Cheney's pillow.
