I believe Luis Gonzalez will be putting up the audio later.

[eureka!]

Larry's gotta be loving this. A whole new source of contributions has just opened up. As to the presstitutes, a pox on their dishonest houses....

Bttt

[ken5050]

What really pisses them off about Cheney is that when he was elected VP, he was forced to sell his Halliburton stock. He got out near the top, before it tanked....

[ned]

Why, he's beginning to look like a terrorist!

[roylene]

It would be nice if Judicial Watch would go after real issues, instead of falling into these false issues, already disclosed and investigated issues that the democrats want to use against Republicans.

There is an unfortunate shadow in the top pic; makes Larry look like he's wearing a codpiece...a rather flat codpiece...

[lideric]

Larry Klayman, John McCain, & Jumpin Jim Jeffords are equally loyal to the conservative point of view.

Look on the bright side, he could be doing real damage like taking suits against the pledge of allegiance or something. As is he has himself a nice little niche where the only folks who get hurt are the donors.

Since FR has long since spotted his scam even while he was pursuing Clinton I say we just ignore him while encouraging the libs and press to waste their time and money on him.

[roylene]

Very impressive retort.

Is it the background music to Jaws ?

The dispute seems to center around this:

In the NYTimes on May 22, 2002, in an investigative report, certain allegations surfaced concerning Halliburton's accounting treatment of construction job claims and change orders which are negotiated with customers.

Prior to 1998 and the merger with Dresser, the company did not record such items in revenue or accounts receivable before they were resolved with the customer.

The company disclosed in its Form 10-K for 1998 that it had recorded losses on certain engineering and construction projects related to current year claims and change orders which it did not feel would be accepted by customers.

Furthermore, in instances where unapproved claims and change orders were recognized in revenue and accounts receivable, no profits at all were recognized on the related projects.

During 1998, the Company began to record such items in revenue and accounts receivable when the company expected such items to be collectible from the customer.

The company has continued this accounting treatment of similar items since 1998 and has never recorded a profit on a job where an unapproved claim or change order has been recorded in revenue.

I'm going to try and search FR archives for this article.

...a rather flat codpiece...

By Jove! That is rather flat, isn't it? Poor chap.

[Carolina]

Ken,

Would you look at post #12 and elucidate for us what that all means? Thanks.

[hellinahandcart]

That is rather flat, isn't it? Poor chap.

Well, maybe Registered can give Larry what Nature didn't. :D

[VRWC_minion]

Determining annual profit for long term construction contracts are totally guesses by management. Not until the job is complete is it possible to determine actual profits.

Here is the problem, income for a year on a job that takes 5 years to finish must be estimated. How much of the job was finished in any one year ? How much in profits must be realized.

I assume that you mean by using Photoshop?

[AdA$tra]

After all the great things he has sued over that received no attention from the large media. Now he goes after Cheney.....suddenly Reuters, AP, NYT, LAT and CNN are all over it. Just another case of bias.

Broadcast veterans Jane Chastain and Russ Verney host The Judicial Watch Report on the USA Radio Network for the public interest law firm Judicial Watch "

Bush better watch his back. Russ Verney the axe man for Ross Perot did his deed on Pat Buchanan during the last election. Verney now works for Klayman as his Southwest Regional Director.

I wonder why the media photographer is under his desk?
