Everyone knows the Boston Herald is the local equivalent of the National Enquirer, mixed with the right wing fanatacism of the Drudge Report. Still, even this is a little silly for them. They gave this story big play under the headline, "Kerry's Haliburton Hypocrisy"
"As Sen. John F. Kerry's campaign escalates charges over energy giant Halliburton's government deals and ties to Vice President Dick Cheney, there's one thing they don't mention - the Kerry family's own Halliburton payday. Teresa Heinz Kerry liked the Cheney-run Halliburton enough to buy and sell more than a $250,000 in company stock in 1996, netting a tidy profit of up to $15,000, records show."
Let me get this straight: Being CEO of the company (Cheney) is the same as owning stock in it. So I guess all those Enron stockholders were responsible for its collapse.
