Appearance of conflict of interest for Cheney - made to order for Gore/Lieberman to argue that Bush/Cheney represent the rich and powerful while they fight for working families. "Cheney's stock package. Cheney won an early-retirement stock package worth $33.7 million from Halliburton Co., the Texas energy company where he was chief executive, according to the company. Under terms of his retirement, he would be barred from cashing as much as $6 million worth of his stock options for up to three years. As a result, he could be serving as vice president while he gets huge sums from an oil-services firm with operations in the Mideast and other areas. If elected, Cheney could retain a large stake in Halliburton or decide to forfeit it, said Gary Morris, the company's chief financial officer. Because of how the options are structured, Cheney cannot sell or transfer them to charity at this point. Morris said he did not think they could be held in a blind trust. In a statement, Cheney said: "I will do whatever I need to do to avoid any conflict of interest." web.philly.com:80/content/inquirer/2000/08/18/national/GOP18.htm

e-Bill: Why is it necessary for every discussion of George W. Bush's behavior to be linked to Clinton's behavior? Clinton soon will be out of the White House and old news. Re "Did Clinton rape that woman?" I don't know, and neither do you. However, I would like to hear the president deny the allegation. Wouldn't you? To reiterate, I am not a "Clinton man." I am a seeker of truth and honesty. In my opinion, the media did NOT push hard enough in '92 for straight answers from Clinton regarding scandalous behavior. The media this year needs to push again and again for straight answers from George W. Bush about his purportedly scandalous behavior ... and similar for Gore/Nader/Buchanan, too.
