Halliburton and Timber: Dean Tidbits

The Pentagon has finally weighed in; Halliburton may have overcharged the US government $61 million dollars in gasoline from Iraq. At this point it’s not a matter of whether or not Halliburton gouged our wallets, it’s a matter of “how much” they ripped us off.
--SNIP--
Well, how about Howard Dean? He’s grassroots, and a nubile compared to Bush and Rove's whorish fundraising talents. He must have something to say on the issue. Right? Unfortunately, Dean has been far too tight lipped.
--SNIP--
He does talk tough from time to time about corporation’s authority over our government’s policies. "The oil companies write our energy policy; big pharmaceutical companies draft Medicare reform without price controls,” Dean recently said, “and in Iraq, Halliburton is awarded a $1.7 billion no-bid contract.” Sounds good to me. But since this statement last fall, we’ve heard very little from Dean on the escalating matter of Halliburton in Iraq.
--SNIP
Why is that? Could it be that his campaign is receiving money from Halliburton connections too? Say it ain’t so! Sorry, it is.

One other Dean tidbit worth noting—it has been revealed that the doctor has an interest in harvesting old tress. That’s right. Dean has two stakes of timber land in Virginia, valued at $100,000 and $200,000 respectively, which have recently been priced for liquidation prospects. Thankfully, cutting down those old trees would be a politically unwise move for Dean to make at this point.

(edit)
Dean receives frunds from Halliburton connections? Does that concern the Democratic party Loyalists? Does that concern the folks here @ DU? Dean's big business ties concern me.

1. Heh....Dean IS Bushlite AND Cheneylite.

The environment and civil liberties are NOT his strong points.

[He loved Big Brother]

2. That's funny.

Good one.

3. Why did Kerry not report his tax fraud adventures?

n/t

6. Ohhhh! someone that works for Halliburton gave Dean $2000

I guess he'll now completely ignore the hundreds of thousands of poor people that have sent him over $41 million dollars.



This is lame. Why don't you do the world a favor and spend some time digging up dirt on Bush. Heck, be productive, print up 100 copies of a good article that the media is ignoring (diebold anyone) and then pass them out or just leave the stack somewhere. The media is doing its best to discredit Dean and I happy to see that not one smear story has had any merit. Niether does this.
