T. Boone Pickens' word is no good. He offered $1 million to anyone who could find something untrue in the Swift Boat ads against John Kerry. When ten people who actually served with Kerry, and thus know what they're talking about, disputed ten allegations in the ads, all of a sudden Pickens wants to define terms. Dallas Morning News:
"Unfortunately, key aspects of my offer of $1 million have not been accurately reported," Mr. Pickens wrote in a letter to the crewmen. "My offer, reiterated in a letter to Senator Kerry not long after the challenge was made, was to pay $1 million for information that would prove any of the ads – which I helped fund – inaccurate. In reviewing your material, none of the information you provide speaks specifically to the issues contained in the ads."
"I guess now we know the 'T' in T. Boone doesn't stand for 'truth,' " said Del Sandusky, one of the crewmen. "I really hoped we could've taken him at his word. ... We won't rest until he admits the truth that he bankrolled a big lie."
