Those pesky vampires...

















Y’all know that Dick Cheney, former CEO of Haliburton still receives income, albeit into a blind trust, from that company. And that Haliburton has received numerous no-bid contracts from the Bush Administration that are worth BILLIONS. Hence, Chaney receives a tidy retirement slush fund of millions and millions of dollars. All for throwing government business to his company.

Some would say that is illegal.


But wait, there is more blood letting going on besides our gracious and lovely President of Vice….

Rumsfeld To Profit From Bird Flu Hoax
By Dr. Mercola

“Finally, the pieces of the puzzle start to add up. Not long ago, President Bush sought to instill panic in this country by telling us a minimum of 200,000 people will die from the avian flu pandemic, but it could be as bad as 2 million deaths in this country alone.
This hoax is then used to justify the immediate purchase of 80 million doses of Tamiflu, a worthless drug that in no way shape or form treats the avian flu, but only decreases the amount of days one is sick and can actually contribute to the virus having more lethal mutations.
So the U.S. placed an order for 20 million doses of this worthless drug at a price of $100 per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion.
We are being told that Roche manufactures Tamiflu and, in a recent New York Times article, they were battling whether or not they would allow generic drug companies to help increase their production.
But if you dig further you will find that a drug was actually developed by a company called Gilead that 10 years ago gave Roche the exclusive rights to market and sell Tamiflu….”

And, so what ya say? Guess who was the former Chairman of Gilead? Guess who still holds huge stock portions with Gilead?

Why none other than our beloved War Lord, Donald Rumsfeld. Way to go Don!

That’s right boys and girls, Rumsfeld has pulled ‘A Cheney’ and has made himself a tidy little sum to get him thought his 'golden years'.

Now, you might think this is illegal too, but NOPE. Giving government business directly to a company that you have a financial interest in is perfectly legal in the Holier than thou Right Wing Cabal of George “Born Again” Bush.

Thank God these fine upstanding gentlemen never received a blow job while in office, that would have provoked cries from the media and a Congressional demand for a thorough investigation.
