any relation to you-know-who?
May 11th, 2006 at 12:17 pmGeezus, don’t tell me this guy is related to Grover Norquist. CFO would be the perfect irony then for David Norquist.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:20 pmrecess appointment…next…
May 11th, 2006 at 12:26 pmIs he related to Grover? If he is, hang him.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:30 pmwow…
do you realize that the war-criminal seems to have run out of cronies that have *not* been associated with abramoff!
this story is from january though…i guess the new part is the halliburton link; but, isn’t that an assumption with anyone in administration?
on papa:
May 11th, 2006 at 12:32 pm
Yes, they are related. David is the younger brother of Grover Norquist.

#6 – He sounds perfect for the job.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:50 pmI wonder what “Grover” did to piss off his parents? Stupid name.
#6 Nice family they have there. One brother thinks that nobody should pay taxes at all and another brother thinks the government should give what tax money we do give them to large, immoral corporations. Uh-oh. I said something bad about Halliburton. I guess that’s it for me. I’ll write to you all from Gitmo (if they let me). Nah, who am I kidding? I’m toast.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:59 pmAnd he does Dickie on the side.
May 11th, 2006 at 1:08 pmDoes anyone remember that TV show, “Queen for a Day”? How about a daytime TV show called “War Profiteer for a Day”? Isn’t that quaint?
May 11th, 2006 at 1:11 pm#8 – I’m sure you look good in orange. ;)
May 11th, 2006 at 2:10 pmI’m sure his relation to Grover is truly, madly, deeply unrelated to his qualifications.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:14 pmLemme see
70% of America is tired of the crap.
The 30% are fat pathetic weak CEOS and business whores.
I am not scared, seems to me its them that are Scared.
I have nothing to lose, they do.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:32 pmBush wants flunkies to cook the accounting books for all the agencies now to hide all the stealing that has taken place!
May 11th, 2006 at 3:09 pmThat’s it, for sure. Bush just hires people who know how to wring the last $billion out of his failures.
At least Spektre is showing traces of a spine. Traces.
It’s a start…
