William H.T. "Bucky" Bush, brother of Bush 41 and thus uncle to the Chimpinator, just pocketed almost half a million dollars, thanks to a sweetheart no-bid contract the Pentagon just coincidentally gave the company he worked for. (See "Uncle Bucky and the Rocket-Fueled Breasts" and links, below.)

This was hinky enough that even the DoD's own inspector general is quietly taking a second look.

Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-CA for whom I actually enjoy voting) has now asked Rumsfeld to hork up the contracts so the rest of us can have a look-see.

As an aside on bias in news reporting: can you imagine the media firestorm if say, Hillary's second cousin's company had pocketed $450,000 from a no-bid Pentagon contract. Can you imagine?

The howling and hissing would frighten wildlife.
