COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVES: "F*CK 'EM - THEY'RE GONNA DIE ANYWAY"
Cheney and Halliburton Fought for Law to Block Asbestos Trials -
When Dick "Chicanery" Cheney's Halliburton bought Dresser Industries, Cheney did not warn stockholders of the potentially huge asbestos liabilities they were getting as part of the "bargain." Why not? Perhaps because Cheney was planning to prevent asbestos victims from suing companies like Dresser. Under Cheney, Halliburton "contributed more than $150,000 to members of Congress who sponsored legislation that would limit the ability of workers to sue companies for asbestos exposure... Cheney, as an individual, donated $12,500 to members who sponsored or co-sponsored the asbestos bills." - From here, via democrats.com.
SPEW-INDUCING PROPAGANDA WARNING - 'WTF' ISSUES "ALERT STATUS: BROWN"
Last year, the White House staff was caught flat-footed when a pissed-off public raised a fuss over pReznit Gameboy's four-week vacation at The Lazy W. Scrambling to defuse the issue, the White House immediately dubbed that vacation a Home to the Heartland Tour, made up a sign reading "Western White House" and scheduled a variety of trips and events to keep Hopalong Noodlehead visible on national television.
Nursemaids say Smirky the Slacker's tours of the pig farm in his pickup truck and his days spent cutting down brush do not distract him from his duties. They remind reporters that the Simpering Sockpuppet was in Crawford last year when he announced his "complex decision" on funding stem cell research. - Bob Kemper, Chicago Tribune. Ummmm, excuse me, Mr Kemper, shouldn't that be "when he read Karl Rove's prepared script off the teleprompter?" That dithering piece of CYA do-nothing blather that solved nothing? Bob?
