Is Cheney openly affiliated with Haliburton? I think when he was in office his
holdings had to be put into a 'blind trust' (yeah, right), but now that he's no longer a government employee, is it general knowledge he's a strong presence?

2. I wouldn't doubt it. One of the more frustrating things about the right is
How they blatantly do things right out in the open that look corrupt or at best a conflict of interest, etc. and nobody in the news media will even raise so much as a whisper about it.

3. He received a 2 million dollar refund from the IRS while in office
and I think his salary was $240,000. He sure was affiliated with someone.

4. Boy, those people in charge of his 'blind trust' sure did well -- that and Haliburton
getting all those no-bid government contracts. :grr:

I. Hate. That. Prick.
