Go ahead label me a Bush lover (there are worse things to be called) but "coordinating" with the VP's office is a little vague don't you think? What are the details of it? It could just as easily be innocuous as incendiary.

Do I like it? No. But it sure isn't a "smoking gun" at this point. Those who want it to be will tout it as such and those who remain neutral or pro-Bush see it for what it is, something that needs to be investigated further and, if other evidence is turned up, something that they should be held accountable for.

Oh and as far as these terrible ties with his old firm with regard to lawsuits, it's fairly common practice between executives and firms they've worked for. Would you expect former company leaders to foot their own legal bills for actions from years past while representing the company being sued? It just doesn't happen that way very often. If it did, companies who are often faced with lawsuits would never be able to find leaders.
