That’s quite a gift

This probably won’t help those conspiracy theories about Bush and the House of Saud:

Imagine what documentary filmmaker Michael Moore could have done with this: Crown Prince Abdullah, Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, last year gave President Bush, his family and top aides $128,000 worth of fine jewelry, according to the State Department’s annual list of foreign leaders’ gifts to top U.S. officials. Unclear if that helped take the edge off that bit of friction over allegations by some that the Saudis aren’t pulling their weight in the war on terrorism.
