Mythbusters
Posted in Culture, Science on January 19, 2006 | Comments Off

Bush was the attraction, and the White House the venue, for a fundraiser organized by the alleged perpetrator of the largest billing fraud in the history of corporate lobbying. In May 2001, Jack Abramoff’s lobbying client book was worth [...]

I cannot find a web story about this, so some of these details may be incorrect. But on Tuesday, I heard Keith Olbermann talking about MLB suing some stats provider.
