BILL MOYERS: —news about Rupert Murdoch? Ask Rupert Murdoch, when are we going to get the $20-a-barrel oil that he said would come from the war in Iraq?
PORTER BARRY: Mr. Moyers, you’ve made that point, like fifteen times. Do you want to come on and talk to Bill about it? Do you want—here is your golden opportunity—
BILL MOYERS: When Rupert Murdoch—
PORTER BARRY: —to address this issue.
BILL MOYERS: When Rupert Murdoch—
PORTER BARRY: Why don’t you come on and talk to O’Reilly about it?
BILL MOYERS: When Rupert Murdoch goes on O’Reilly and explains when are we going to get the $20-a-barrel oil that Rupert Murdoch promised.
PORTER BARRY: I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. Moyers. This isn’t about Mr. Moyers.
BILL MOYERS: You don’t know?
PORTER BARRY: I mean, it’s not about Mr. Murdoch.

PORTER BARRY: I got it. I got it.
BILL MOYERS: Now, wait a minute—you got it? OK, you call me and tell me what the answer is. You go back and talk—
