            - Go to No-bid contracts awarded to Bush’s pals for storm cleanup?
        
        
                
                
                    Thanks, Corbin!
                
                And so have our liberal fellow bloggers, it seems. (Somehow I can't quite think of our man Scoop as a liberal.)

                    Shaw and tell? (sorry!)
                
                Justsouno, I understand Shaw's name is now being omitted from the usual media diatribes.
  Scoop, interesting hypothesis, but illogical. Why would the Bush administration steer big contracts to a key opponent? The geographical conenction does work, though, as it does for Hosuton-based Halliburton. KBR predecessor Borwn & Root was a major, major construction contractor all over the Gulf coast when they too were based in Houston.

                    Three ways to look at this
                
                1-yes he is the Democratic chairman
  2-But he is also a client of Bush's lobbyist buddy
  3-And the company is located in Baton Rouge, makes sense to me to pump some business that way

                People will miss that Democratic tidbit by choice I believe. Keep it up.
