Reply #38: Actually, I just realized that that comment is misleading.

What he has supposedly 'earmarked' for charity is his deferred salary from Halliburton, which he still receives. (That's why I used the word 'earnings').

Of course, I've never heard of him actually making that donation; it's always been referred to as 'earmarked' when the question is raised about Cheney's ties to Halliburton, as an attempt to deflect allegations that he is profiting personally via Halliburton's government contracts.

What never gets spoken about is his Halliburton stock options, which have increased in value to the tune of MILLIONS, thanks to the company's increased stock price - which is a direct result of the profits they continue to rake in thanks to no-bid contracts.
