It would be, perhaps, if the guys & gals who worked retail shifts with you were now board members, owners and the largest beneficiaries of Sunglass Hut. Then, there might be a similar issue. Cheney may be entirely right in saying he doesn't give a whit about or get a dime from Halliburton... the problem is that the ones who do give whits and get dimes are guys who can now get their pal Dick on the phone. The loyalty is to the top-level execs / old buddies / campaign contributors at Halliburton, and that kind of loyalty is a LOT harder to prove and trace.

Has he dealt with those messy tens of millions in stock options yet?

I'm surprised that more people haven't called Cheney on the logic of his "I have no financial interest, so there's nothing wrong" claim. Most people have graviated towards attacking the first part of his claim, "I hav eno financial interest in Haliburton", which plays in Cheney's hands because it's much easier for him to defend that statement than the more relevant assertion that there's no favoritism for other reasons at play.
