The Result: The Granddaddy Of All American Political Scandals, Teapot Dome.In The Teapot Dome Scandal, Acclaimed Author Laton Mccartney Tells The Amazing, Complex, And At Times Ribald Story Of How Big Oil Handpicked Warren G. Harding, An Obscure Ohio Senator, To Serve As Our Twentythird President. Harding And His Socalled Oil Cabinet Made It Possible For The Oilmen To Secure Vast Oil Reserves That Had Been Set Aside For Use By The U.S. Navy. In Exchange, The Oilmen Paid Off Senior Government Officials, Bribed Newspaper Publishers, And Covered The Gop Campaign Debt.When News Of The Scandal Finally Emerged, The Consequences Were Disastrous For The Nation And For The Principles In The Plot To Bilk The Taxpayers: Hardings Administration Was Hamstrung; Americans Confidence In Their Government Plummeted; Secretary Of The Interior Albert Fall Was Indicted, Convicted, And Incarcerated; And Others Implicated In The Affair Suffered Similarly Dire Fates.
