AuntB,

Wow, I just went searching on Yahoo for articles for you, but I baely found anything. I know this is fact because I personally watched Hoffa state it on Hardball a few days ago. If you do a search for "Kerry, Hoffa, Oil) you might get a few responses, here was the only decent thing I found at quick glance.

MarkDel, AuntB, baseballmom Here’s the Hardball transcript with Hoffa. I didn’t see it, but it reads like Hoffa was drunk.

MATTHEWS: How about ANWR? You guys want to see ANWR because you want to see guys working in your business. I guess there‘s a lot of Teamsters jobs up there lined up and organized, if you could put a pipeline up to the Alaska wilderness. He is against that.
HOFFA: Well, we talked about that.
He says, look, I am against ANWR, but I am going to put that pipeline in and we‘re going to drill like never before.
MATTHEWS: What, are they going to run water through it?
HOFFA: ... more jobs than the ANWR would have ever created.
MATTHEWS: What are they going to run through the pipeline?
HOFFA: And that‘s the position he‘s taking.
MATTHEWS: But he is against drilling up there. What are they going to run through the pipeline?
HOFFA: Well, they are going to drill all over, according to him. And he says, we‘re going to be drilling all over the United States. And he says that is going to create more jobs.
(LAUGHTER)
MATTHEWS: You got that guy rolling.
MATTHEWS: What position was he in when he made all these promises?
(LAUGHTER)
MATTHEWS: It just seems amazing that he has turned around on NAFTA, turned around on WTO, turned around on ANWR, anything to get the Teamsters.
HOFFA: Oh.
MATTHEWS: Who is going to be boss if he gets in there, you or him?
HOFFA: Well, I think that
MATTHEWS: It sounds like you are the boss.
