Cheney's Wealth Is Triple That Of Dimson's...
he can't even do the robber baron thing right...he couldn't wipe his ass with both hands..:eyes:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The tens of millions of dollars in assets reported by Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife, Lynne, triple those held by President Bush and the first lady, Laura Bush.

Bush kept much of his money invested fairly conservatively, in U.S. Treasury notes and certificates of deposit, according to financial disclosure reports released Thursday.

Cheney spread his money around, at least $15.8 million in mutual funds that include bonds, international equities and domestic stocks.

In the financial wild ride of 2007, Bush's wealth appears to have held steady while Cheney's seemed to decline a little.

2. Most Of Crashcart's Fortune Is On Paper
I thought I heard that of the $100 mil, only around 16 mil were solid assets...the rest were in stocks and other "instruments". IRC, that paper figure was around $20 mil back in 2000 and assets were around $10 mil...wanna bet those stock options get cashed big time after 1/20/09??? And you better believe he's doing all he can to make sure he sells "high".

3. He claims that he's pledged all of his KBR options to "charity"...
wanna take any bets as to what that "charity" is. I guess this is to counter-act the lie that he tried to tell, that he has no more interests in KBR. I think Lynn does as well as he does financially BTW. She's as big a corporate whore as they come. Those two are poster children for conflict of interest.
