p> TORRICELLI PRIZE br> Re: The Washington Prowler's Old News, New Smear : /p> p>Now Lautenberg, the illegally elected Senator, is passing info along to resurrect another Halliburton story. When will the press put some print on Clintons no-bids contracts to Halliburton too. When will the press in the few short days to election talk about the military records Kerry never released? When will the press tell the story of Teresa Kerry's philanthropy to liberal causes that are now 527's? What about the Heinz Corp. and its outsourcing of thousands of jobs and print where they are and the pay scales? br> -- unsigned /p> p> It is blatant election year slime tactics and gross political demagoguery for the Associated Press and major media to mention Vice President Cheney's name in any and every article or story remotely devoted to Halliburton. For years the biased media has mentioned the two synonymously as if they are Siamese twins. He is not associated with and has not been associated with the company in any meaningful fashion while serving as VP. Further, John Edwards' baseless 11th hour comment that the current administration has a long history of preferential treatment to its friends is a complete and utter lie without a shred of substance. He says it and the grateful anti-Bush media dutifully quote him without the slightest caveat emptor. It is shameful. You should know that Americans from the Inland Empire are getting fed up with it. There will be a resounding backlash in the culture of the real American politick. br> -- R. Jones br> Gulfport, Mississippi /p>
