Are the Doles (Bob & Libby) wealthy?

[hopein08]

I was just wondering since they've both been in the news about the Dubai deal.

We've pretty much got Poppy Bush, James Baker, Neil Bush (via the Carlyle Group and its tentacles), etc. who stand to benefit from the sale of the British company to the UAE company and thereby the operation of the ports.

But does old Bob Dole stand to get anything out of his lobbying beyond the usual exorbitant fees?

Are he and Libby just sitting on years and years of government pay or does the money come from all sorts of interesting places?

Thanks

2. all their treasure's in heaven!

i remember dole from the nixon era, when he was tricky dick's attack poodle in the senate- he oozed a hitman cruelty, always snarling at nixon's critics.....but the thing was there was no gimpy arm back in those days, or even a mention of dole's wartime heroics (the vietnam war was going on when dole first crept up on the american people, and a whole bunch of rightwing warhawks-to-be were busy avoiding 'Nam, so there was no gain to dole, no benefits to playing up his brave heroism etc)

3. Yes, here's some proof

These are pdf documents so you'll need to have Adobe to read them: Personal Financial Disclosure for Elizabeth Dole

If you can find Bob's you'll find that certain properties have gone back and forth between the two spouses depending on who was running or being appointed to office.
