He can't win because he's a total dick.
He did plenty for Halliburton. His government contacts brought them lots of $$$. My comment was about what he did for the company by trying to exercise is own "judgment." That effort got them a great big asbestos liability.
During the 2000 VP debates they were talking about the merits of private sector versus public sector. Leiberman made a comment about how the private sector had treated Cheney quite well. Cheney ackowledged as much and said the government had nothing to do with it. I was amazed that he said it with a straight face. Did he really think that Halliburton paid him millions of dollars, despite having no work experience in their field, because of his ability? Is he that arrogant? Or that clueless?
Cheney had a great comeback line, BTW, about how he was going to do everything he could to ensure that Leiberman got an opportunity to work in the private sector.

Ironic that he doesn't own Halliburton stock yet is ridiculed for it and Mr. Moore and Al Gore both own Halliburton stock and aren't ridiculed for it...

Do you really see that as a significant issue?

I'm amazed that we see the same news programs and read the same stories.

Of course, you realize that's a two-way street.
