I wonder if Larry Klayman really thinks Dick Cheney is not an honorable man?

I wonder why the media photographer is under his desk?

Because he's accusing a conservative.

It's really a tempest in a teapot. Companies like Halliburton, which do long term contracts with their customers, make many assumptions on their books. GAAP gives a firm a wide range of latitude for their rationale. However, when a company changes the methodology of its accounting, as Halliburton did in this case, it usually occurs for one of two reasons:

1. The company feels the change better reflects its true finances, or

2. It's playing games with the books..... Also, all companies, to some extent, try to smooth out earnings to avoid violent gyrations. This is done by manipulating the books to some extent, but isn't necessarily bad..

Look, simplistic example..lets say that that each year for the last 10 years, XYZ corp had sales to its one customer of $1,000,000 each year. Nice steady business. Each year it signed a new contract, and everything is OK. However, let's assume that forwhatever reasons, in 5 of those 10 years, there was a short delay in signing the contract with the one customer, because the president of that company went on a cruise every two years, and got back 30 days later, after XYZ had closed its books for the year.....XYZ's books would have then reflected sales of $2 million in years 1,3,5,7,9, and sales of ZERO in years 2,4,6,8,and 10...esentially nothing has changed, yet the financial numbers look all over the place.....

Everyday, it is becoming more and more apparent that Klaymans agenda is "all about Klayman." and "ONLY" about Klayman.

His ego is beginning to show more and more with the issues that he "fronts," and, idealogy and conservatism have nothing to do with this man whose moral bankruptcy is being filed each day with each new lawsuit.

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.

It ain't gonna happen. Judicial Watch is all about making money. Back in the Clintoon days, I was on their mailing list. They had obviously obtained the names of certified Clinton-Haters and sent out regular solicitations for donations. They were suing the Clinton Administration for this and for that and claiming to be uncovering all kinds of dirt. (Actually, none of their suits ever amounted to a hill of beans.) Fortunately, I never gave them any money.

Now, they have gotten the names of the Bush-Haters and here come the mail-outs asking for donations so JW can prove what crooks Bush and Cheney are. It's all a big joke, and klayman is raking in the dough.

The only difference is that when Klayman was attacking Clinton, he was either ignored by the press or depicted as a right-wing nut. Now, Judicial is a respected, non-partisan "Watchdog" group according to current press reports.

As an avid loather of all things that pertain to #42,and all that baggage of 8 ugly years,I almost contributed to L.K.'s cause many times.I am proud to say,I never caved in and donated,and now,with this,I just couldn't live w/ myself knowing I'd helped him turn on Dick Cheney's former company.Biased?You bet I am.He's doing this to prove he's an equal opportunity lawyer.All this time he's been called a Clinton Hater,he gets to prove himself by simply issuing the suit.

Well, it's not working; he took in almost 25 million in 2000 and he only took in 15 million in 2001. Wonder why????

It sure would be interesting to compare the volume and type of press coverage Judicial Watch gets when it goes after Bush-Cheney compared to the coverage they got when they sued Clinton, wouldn't it?

And, in contrast, just how many of his cases against x42 ever got one word of mention in the national media?

Nah! They're not biased a bit!
