The Nigerian email scam
So I was listening to NPR the other day. They were talking about events leading up to the Iraq war — again. As usual, that Nigerian scam came up, you know, the one that the Bush administration fell for. Some phony Nigerian diplomat wanted millions of dollars to provide information, evidence even, about the Iraqi WMD program. Both Bush and Tony Blair bought into it. Why, because they are schmucks, right? I cannot help but wonder how many times they have fallen for those other Nigerian schemes. Does Bush reply every time he gets the email about the 14 million he’ll get to act as the go between for that Nigerian who wants some money laundered? Perhaps that’s what Bush’ll use for his vacation home in Albania. And, I’ve just gotta bet that a whole bunch of CIA agents are waiting for their Nigerian checks too.
