Yes, to Brown & Root, the part of the "Halliburton" thing the Democrats never mention. The Roosevelts, the Kennedys (Mokeen Oil, Kenoil, Sutton Producing Corporation, Forest Oil Corporation of Bedford=Ted Kennedy), Jimmy Carter (Bert Lance), Lloyd Bentsen, and Al Gore (Armand Hammer) also had their oil interests.

Well you and I did more then Alissa did in pointing out some errors in this article. I pretty much hate posts like Alissa's that claim "hit-piece" without telling us what she thinks is in error. Beyond claiming Bush was the first VP with oil interests (what about Nelson A. Rockefeller sworn in as the 41st vice president on Dec. 19, 1974??) I don't see what else is in error? Maybe everything? Maybe most of it? Maybe most of it is right? Maybe ALissa is a Democrat and wants people to read this while pretending to be outraged?
