"The vice president will lead the presidential delegation to Riyadh to express condolences on the passing of King Fahd and the accession [sic] of King Abdullah,"

He's expressing condolences on the ascension of Abdullah? That's odd. ;)

That was my immediate thought/fear when I saw the article on Yahoo how will the MSM spin this regarding oil and the Halliburton connetion. Love the way you put it you ought to sell that line to them LOL.

Exactly right. And so will the New York Times. However, hopefully the Washington Post's fashion editor will inform the Vice President in advance on what clothing is appropriate, so she won't have to be horrified again that he is embarrassing the country.
