If you have evidence that Cheney was in a room negotiating contracts for Halliburton then yes it falls under the same ethical and legal lapses that Axelrod may be caught up in. Having participated in federal government procurement I seriously doubt you will find that being the case. Keep me posted on your research....

And if you can point to a Cheney child that worked for Halliburton at the same time Cheney was VP we can draw the same conclusion about the ethical/legal lapse.

Somehow, considering the amount of scrutiny he got from left wing groups and Congress this analogy doesn't quite work. What is interesting is Cheney personally paid for a $15,000 insurance policy that guaranteed the payments due from Halliburton. So unless Axelrod did the same I would argue that Cheney had no vested financial interest in the success of Halliburton while Axelrod would directly benefit from the ad buy. Maybe Axelrod did the same thing which in my view was a very smart thing for Cheney to do.

And of course, Halliburton continues to get contracts from the Federal government long after Bush and Cheney are gone, probably because they are the qualified low bidder. But maybe Cheney cronies in Federal procurement are secretly swinging work to Halliburton......
