I agree much ado ab out nothing.

A Washington Lobby firm with ties to the current administration, and, gasp, high ranking executives from the party in power. Oh the horror.

I wonder how the entire executive ranks shake out. I'll bet dollars to your donuts that it's a pretty close split 50-50 down the middle.

That's what makes a successful lobby firm. The ability to peddle influence equally.

But to answer this question specifically:

Because there is nothing to be all over.

Your quip with the Chinese firm 'undermining' chevron's bid is a very interesting choice of euphamisms. For goodness sakes, if raising the bidding by a half a billion or so, and paying more for the right lobbying firm to smooth the transaction through (even still not a sure thing) is 'undermining...' what would be a fairer way to do this?

And what does the "war on terror" have to do with this?
