Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Plenty of CEOs got a hell of lot more than Cheney. This whole obsession shows how braindead the entire left is. You haters just cannot get your minds around the fact that he was the CEO of HAL but had no role in the contract work they did in Iraq. Or do you think that HAL somehow had advance notice that 9/11 would happen and we would invade afghanistan and iraq and they gave him an advance bribe to get them this business? The whole idea is as presposterous as Obama and Al Gore getting Nobel pizes, or Gore, Clinton, John Edwards and a host of other out of work democrat pols getting no show big money hedge fund jobs. That's not a conflict or ethical problem I guess. Or the whole FNM/FRE slush fund for democrats and the employment agency they provided for out of work democrat hacks like Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick. Or the fraudulent bonuses and option awards Raines et al received, which have never been returned.
I'm sure your logic passes for reasonable with the likes of Chris "Obama makes my leg tingle" Matthews and Keith Psycho Oldermann. The rest of us think you're a joke.
