Cheney's Halliburton Cooked Books

My pal Samela sez this:

Which is more worthy of investigation? Mike Espy taking a pair of football tickets or Dick Cheney in charge of a company cooking its books?

Which is more worthy of media scrutiny? Al Gore not fixing the drain at the house of a tenant who poured bacon grease down her sink or Dick Cheney in charge of a company cooking its books?

Which is more worthy of public outrage? A $50,000 failed land investment dating from 15 years earlier or Dick Cheney cooking the books to the tune of $100 million of a public corporation that received numerous government contracts?

Just asking.


Let me add that Halliburton receives MAJOR government contracts, despite Dick Cheney's claim to have been successful without the government's help. If I remember correctly, they (well, their subsidiary) also signed a long term contract to handle all of the military's international construction needs.
