[DesEtoiles]

Just up at http://www.prnewswire.com:

Looks like Boone Pickens just got proven a liar. He had to CHANGE THE TERMS of his deal, because he knows he just lost the bet!

(What's the bet? In short, Boone offered $1,000,000 to anyone who could prove the Swiftboaters liars, and Kerry took him up on it.

Shortly thereafter...Pickens folds!)

Victory is sweet for Senator Kerry:

T. Boone Pickens Responds to Letter From U.S. Senator John Kerry

DALLAS, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a copy of a
letter mailed by T. Boone Pickens in response to a letter from U.S. Senator
John Kerry regarding the Senator's military record and ads in the 2004
presidential election by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

U.S. Senator John Kerry
304 Russell Building
Third Floor
Washington DC 20510

Dear Senator Kerry:
So glad to hear from you regarding the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
political ad campaign, and an offer I made public at an American Spectator
dinner in Washington, D.C. last week. I am intrigued by your letter, and am
certainly open to your challenge.

My concern at the Spectator Dinner was, and continues to be, that you
and other political figures were and are maligning the Swift Boat Veterans,
and I want to prevent this important part of American history from being
unfairly portrayed.
In order to disprove the accuracy of the Swift Boat ads, I will
ultimately need you to provide the following:
1) The journal you maintained during your service in Vietnam.
2) Your military record, specifically your service records for the years
1971-1978, and copies of all movies and tapes made during your
service.
When you have done so, if you can then prove anything in the ads was
materially untrue, I will gladly award $1 million. As you know, I have been
a long and proud supporter of the American military and veterans' causes. I
now challenge you to make this commitment: If you cannot prove anything in
the Swift Boat ads to be untrue, that you will make a $1 million gift to
the charity I am choosing -- the Medal of Honor Foundation.
Sincerely,

T. Boone Pickens

Pickens changed the terms.

He changed the terms and he thinks we won't notice? And a liar and a coward, to boot!

Pickens is awfully old to still not have developed any sense of integrity or personal morality - is there any hope for him? All that money, and still no decency. Well, money is the root of all evil.

Maybe while he's at it, Pickens can come up with George W. Bush's TANG records. Oh that's right. Bush was womanizing and snorting coke when he should have been serving in the appointment Poppy Bush wrangled for him because he actively sought to dodge the draft.


How long did it take Pickens to fold? About 5 seconds?! How did he make so much money if he is such a pushover?

Pickens - defaming a sitting U.S. Senator during a time of war! Not very patriotic! Why does Pickens hate America?

Pickens should talk to his lawyer about Contract Law 101. Offer. Acceptance. Pickens made the offer. Kerry accepted. Done. You can't change the offer after it has been accepted. Wow - I am, quite frankly, shocked at the apparent ineptitude of this allegedly brilliant businessman.

Doesn't Texas rank near the bottom of all states for children's health care, teacher pay and pay for police officers? Kids, teachers and police can't pry those dollars out of Pickens' grizzled old hand, apparently - yet he has millions to waste on this BS. A real Montgomery Burns. Nice. (Kind of like his buddy Bob Perry, who made his millions building moldy houses, and yet can't be persuaded to solve the housing problem in his own state. He also chooses to waste millions on this BS, when people in his own backyard are going without decent housing. And he prides himself on what a "Christian" he is. Sickening.)

Pickens - be a man. You lost. Pay the $1,000,000 and shut up.
