12:57PM Halliburton responds to Judicial Watch lawsuit (HAL) by Michael Baron Halliburton (HAL) is off 30 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $13.82, in midday action. The company is out with a press release responding to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group. The suit alleges fraudulent accounting practices at Halliburton took place during the period when current vice president Dick Cheney served as its chairman and CEO. Halliburton called the claims in the suit, "untrue, unsupported, and unfounded." The company continued: "We are working diligently with the SEC to resolve its questions regarding the company's accounting procedures. Halliburton has always followed and will continue to follow guidelines established by the SEC and GAAP, General Accepted Accounting Principles."

He REALLY likes that!

I kind of thought he might.

[Miss Marple]

LOL! I just thought we needed a little music.

Unfortunately, the movie "The Flim-Flam Man" did not have a theme song with lyrics.

[Iwo Jima]

How about "Oh, Yes, I'm the Great Pretender"? (ooh-wa, ooh-wa)

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

LOL.......we can just hum to ourselves.

Larry is a truth-seeker and a maverick and it is apparent from some of the posts here.

Show me the posts that show he is a truth-seeker and not an opportunist.

[Clara Lou]

if they do open heart surgery, all they have to do is spread...
Thanks for this evening's laugh! (horrible imagery, though)

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Larry is a spinsterand a swindler and it is apparent from the posts here...of those who "know".

[Neets]

I was going to think I was jealous for not getting the love letters via Freep mail from her...but then again...NOT.

[Amelia]

I've just been looking and cannot seem to find an email address for him

I found his picture.

[terilyn]

Great, and I found a couple of dead links to email him.

Maybe if I just stare real hard into his eyes he'll know I want to get some info to him and he'll call me?

[Amelia]

That might work.

[terilyn]

LOL! Ok, I'll give it a try and let you know.

[Amelia]

Want me to help you stare? He's not that hard to look at. ;-)

[terilyn]

Sure, I can use all the help I can get.

BTW, the other one worked, Thanks!

"Larry is a truth-seeker and a maverick and it is apparent from some of the posts here."

If Larry Klayman wasn't a truth-seeker, he would be satisfied to just file suits against Democrats and totally ignore scandal and corruption on the part of Republicans.

Remember, when Larry first uncovered the illegal trade missions being delt out by the Commerce Department, Republicans everywhere, and the majority on FR, were 100% behind Klayman.

Now that it turns out that there may be corruption on the Republican side, including our Vice-President, the majority of Republicans have gone after Klayman, viciously attacking his person and the diligent staff of Judicial Watch.

It just goes to show how hypocritical the majority of partisans are in this country.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Yuck.

Anyway, we will see if Cheney is truly guilty of the allegations Klayman has leveled against him. I am sure that Klayman was aware of all the risks he was taking when filing this lawsuit and I am also confident that Klayman knows what he is looking for.

Dick Cheney better watch out and hope that his financial dealings at Halliburton were above reproach.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

What in heck is JW doing up in here?!? I thought they were a government watchdog, not a corporate watchdog. This sounds a bit off even to a strident Bush critic like myself!

I sincerely hope Cheney wasn't involved in any corporate shenanigans, however...

And if they were, then what do we do to the 'eww' that has caused the man all the grief?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

You know what deport?

It is NONE of the IRS' business who contributes to Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch respects the privacy of their donors and complies with the laws of this land. There is no law which would require Judicial Watch to release a list of their donors to the public.

I would like you to name any other conservative non-profit who publishes their list of donors to the public.

Remember, when Larry first uncovered the illegal trade missions being delt out by the Commerce Department, Republicans everywhere, and the majority on FR, were 100% behind Klayman.

Remember, at that time, Larry billed Judicial Watch as a "conservative" group.

Things have changed.

But I believe Larry had lost support around here before he sued Cheney.

All hat, no cowboy.
