Cheney still technically on Halliburton's payroll
An aide to the vice president said yesterday: "This is money that Mr Cheney was owed by the corporation as part of his salary for the time he was employed by Halliburton and which was a fixed amount paid to him over time."
The aide said the payment was even insured so that it would not be affected even if Halliburton went bankrupt, to ensure there was no conflict of interest.
"Also, the vice president has nothing whatsoever to do with the Pentagon bidding process," the aide added.
And he honestly expects people to believe this?

Shit, yo! I feel ya, Dick. Just because I get a check from the Nazi party doesn't mean I'm connected with them in any way. They just like sending me money!
