How Will They Fund Cheney's Retirement?

It appears that the "defund ACORN Bill" will also strip funding from most of the large defense contractors, including Halliburton:
The congressional legislation intended to defund ACORN, passed with broad bipartisan support, is written so broadly that it applies to "any organization" that has been charged with breaking federal or state election laws, lobbying disclosure laws, campaign finance laws or filing fraudulent paperwork with any federal or state agency. It also applies to any of the employees, contractors or other folks affiliated with a group charged with any of those things.
Aww. Wouldn't that be a damned shame? Boeing would be out because of the little brouhaha over the tanker contract. Because of other fraud charges, basically nobody could sell military airplanes to the Feds anymore. Blackwater, of course, would be barred. So would General Dynamics and smaller outfits such as IIF Data Solutions and Dynamics Research Corp.

This could be a lot of fun.

    What I think will be fun is all the ridiculous excuses the news and the politicians will be using to explain why defunding ACORN while not defunding organizations guilty of far worse crimes isn't blatant hypocrisy.
