Yeah, rarelamb,

The jokes on you if you don't understand 'conflict of interest' but somehow I think you really do understand. Its just that ethics mean
nothing to you.

One more time for your reading pleasure...

"CBS/AP) A report by the Congressional Research Service undermines Vice President Dick Cheney's denial of a continuing relationship with Halliburton Co., the energy company he once led, Sen. Frank Lautenberg said Thursday.

The report says a public official's unexercised stock options and deferred salary fall within the definition of "retained ties" to his former company"

Or maybe you are saying that although he 'retains ties' those ties do not constitute a conflict of interest.

In that case look at the number of no-bid contracts Halliburton has received since Cheney was in office. Look at the increase in share price. Not only that, he's manipulating the price of energy in North America by creating highs and lows so that his buddies can clean up on the market.

He's a slimball, rarelamb, but I guess it takes one to know one.
