#TBT: George W. Bush Didn’t Want Arthur Andersen Looking For WMDs That Didn’t Exist

So infamous were Andersen’s false audits that President George W. Bush joked about them at the 2002 annual Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington, D.C.

The bad news is that he insists Arthur Andersen do the inspections.” [Salon]
