Do you fellows have the least idea how capitalism works? Someone like Bruce Willis doesn't make 20 million dollars a film because he is 20 times the actor of someone making a million, or 200 times someone making 100 thousand, but because he is box office gold, and will almost certainly raise the gross well beyond his compensation. If Bush's partner let him into the deal on favorable terms, it was because they thought he was worth that much to the deal, if only because of contacts. That is why lobbying firms hire guys like Dole when they retire. Unless there is an allegation of something shady, it is really none of your business.

It is quite possible that someone like Cheney got extremely favorable compensation because of his reputation from Desert Storm. So what? If the company thinks he is going to raise the value of its stock and make it easier to raise capital, that is their business.......
