The big denial on this one is, of course, "there is not now, nor ever was there, a deal in place between the House of Bush and the House of Saud to alter oil prices in hopes of influencing the presidential election."
Well, duh.
It's another one of those clever non-denial denials. Of course they don't have a formal "deal." They're not complete idiots (really, they're not). But that doesn't mean they don't "understand each other" and have each other's best interests in mind.
The media acts as if they're going to find a contract titled, "Saudi Arabia's To Illegally Influence American Electoral Process" with the president's signature at the bottom.
Jeebus. Just because there's no formal agreement, doesn't mean there is no deal.
