Democrat corporate shills? Unpossible!

I remember that during the Bush Administration, because VP Cheney once worked at Haliburton, somehow it proved that Bush and Cheney were working to make that company profitable so Cheney could get some sort of remuneration from the relationship. It’s difficult to find a newspaper article that doesn’t mention Cheney and Haliburton in the same line at least once.

Well, I started reading Michelle Malkin’s latest book Culture of Corruption this week – mostly because I’m the only person who wasn’t reading it (it’s Number 1 on Amazon for nonfiction US politics and number 8 of all of their books) – so this morning, it looks like she’s working on a new chapter.

It appears that David Axelrod maintains a relationship with his former employer, who owes him money and continues to employ his son. That’s a closer relationship than Cheney had with Haliburton, isn’t it? Well, not in the world of the well-intentioned Liberals;

White House flack Gibbs called any suggestion that Axelrod benefits from the relationship “ridiculous.” Retorted Gibbs: “David has left his firm to join public service.” So when Republicans trade power and access, Team Obama calls that being “in cahoots” with business. But when noble servants like Axelrod do it, it’s called “public service.”

Ms. Malkin explains Axelrod’s ties on Hannity the other night;

Five Feet of Fury writes;

Malkin and Hannity savored the irony: that the same White House insiders and Democrat operatives eager to smear town hall protesters as “Astroturfers” funded by “big corporations” are themselves funded by… big corporations. Adding insult to irony, these are the very same “big corporations,” Malkin noted, that liberals like Obama and his supporters supposedly believe are so “evil.”

I guess today is Hypocrisy Day at TAH.
