Damn, It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta

Do you think that Big Dick Cheney (R-Hades) listens to the Geto Boys?

I'll bet he does. Hell, I would, if I were a world-class hustler like Big Dick.

The links between Dick Cheney and the Halliburton oil services company were under new scrutiny on Monday with the revelation of a Pentagon memo suggesting the award to Halliburton of Iraq contracts was "co-ordinated" with the Vice-President's office.

The memo, reported in the latest issue of Time magazine, dates from March 2003, just before the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, and deals with Halliburton's involvement in the multi-billion contract RIO, or 'Restore Iraqi Oil'.

The email says that that arrangements for RIO were approved by Douglas Feith, under-Secretary of Defence for policy, and the third-ranking civilian official at the Pentagon, "contingent on informing WH [White House] tomorrow. We anticipate no problems since action has been coordinated w VP's [vice-President's] office."

Mr Cheney was chief executive of the Texas-based Halliburton from 1995 until he was picked to be George W Bush's running mate in the summer of 2000.

Since then, he has repeatedly said, he has had no interest in, or involvement with, the company. But the relationship has never ceased to dog him.

That is some straight up gangsta shit, if I've ever seen it. I wouldn't want to play poker with Big Dick. He'd end up owning all of my money, my stuff, my internal organs, and any progeny that might appear.

And now, a word from the [Vice] President!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin voted into the White House
Everything lookin good to the people of the world
But the Mafia family is my boss
So every now and then I owe a favor gettin' down
like lettin' a big drug shipment through
And send 'em to the poor community
So we can bust you know who
So voters of the world keep supportin' me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or I'll send a million troops to die at war
To all you Republicans, that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you
Cuz now I got the world swingin' from my nuts
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

I'll bet it does.
