Papers Show Bush Played Active Role at Harken

Reuters / ABC ^

[T. Jefferson]

Almost every director of every company in the world plays
an active role, they have a vested interest after all.

[Vidalia]

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH....

[DallasMike]

Yep, I'll bet that's why they're called "directors."

[Dog Gone]

Oh gosh, the Democrats found a thank you note to Bush which congratulates him for all his fine contributions. They don't say, but it would have been at the time he left the company.

Maybe they ought to attend some of the retirement functions at any corporation. Every employee who leaves is apparently the most critical employee the company ever had. Sheesh.

[cubreporter]

Can't you just see them all knocking each other down now to get on the bandwagon to try and bring Bush down? Ye gads...these people are beyond contempt...they are downright silly little idiots. No kidding. It's really so outrageous...Bush is clean. But...give them an A for trying. NOT!

The Harken-Bahrain Deal: A Baseless Suspicion

[Clara Lou]

I just have to say this: If there had been anything to this, it would have come out back during the presidential campaign. Here in Texas, they were so short on ammo during the primaries that they tried to dredge up some foul deeds between Bush and the funeral industry. Is that desperate, or what? It's all smoke and mirrors.

Reuters, a pro-Pallie outfit, also stretches to connect dots here that aren't even close.

This article is laughable.

[terilyn]

"The information raised fresh questions about the extent of Bush's role as a director at Harken more than a decade ago."

Yeah, by who? Lieberman, Daschle, Gephardt, Kerry, Edwards, and their pimps, the NY Times, Reuters, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw.

Did I leave anybody out?

Well I have some questions too. When is Rubin going to be called to testify? When is Clinton going to be held accountable for the Marc Rich pardons? When are the Republicans in Congress going to grow a backbone?

So, it's only fitting that they are losing money very nicely.

[Tasha]

The point is, in a year's time after President Bush sold his stock, the stock doubled. Another thing - Haliburton is and was a well-managed company. By attacking the Vice President, the shorts are making more money and the scared little guy is selling like crazy. A long time ago someone asked this question, and I will ask again the shorts and the longs:

Don't you people have any decency left?

[Jorge]

Wow, as director Bush played an active role in business decisions.
That's a shocking revelation.

[ReaganRevolution]

How many times are they going trot out the same tired lines and write a "new" article as if it's some huge revelation? This is the same nonsense, over and over again. As someone said earlier, "blah, blah, blah.." BIG YAWN.

[YaYa123]

You said, "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH" to which I add ,
"Booga Boooga Booooga"

I think people will see this smear attack for what it is...a premature ejac by desperate democrats. Won't work.

[ClearCase_guy]

Wow, as director Bush played an active role in business decisions. That's a shocking revelation.

Exactly my thought. Can you imagine the outrage if Bush had been a well-paid executive and done nothing? Why, it's tantamount to bribery! They're just shoveling cash at the man so that his father will do them a favor!

Oh. Wait ... he was actually working? Providing good value to the company? Well, that's bad too!

[Let's Roll]

One thing dims as a group don't know much about is being a long time employee who would merit a retirement party.

[CyberAnt]

He better have been actively involved - he was a director. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned his keep. These people will distort any words to make them sound evil. Pathetic. If they only knew it wasn't working on the public, I wonder if they would tone it down any ... NAAAAH!!

[gaffin]

The title of this article says it all. Dah!
