They only go so far....

There are plenty of other stories as well...when they start covering and exposing POWER -- I will take them more seriously.

1. Allbaugh Ed Rogers Haley Barbour Neil
Then there was the Allbaugh Company through which he represents
Halliburton's KBR as well as military-industrial powerhouse Northrop
Grumman. Finally, there was New Bridge Strategies, LLC, where he
serves as chairman and director. New Bridge Strategies bills itself as
"a unique company that was created specifically with the aim of
assisting clients to evaluate and take advantage of business
opportunities in the Middle East following the conclusion of the US-led
war in Iraq".

Not surprisingly, the firm's vice chairman and director, Ed Rogers
(who, during the "2004 campaign cycle ... made over 150 live TV news
appearances defending and promoting the Bush administration"),
also serves as vice chairman of the consulting firm Barbour, Griffith &
Rogers, Inc (which he founded with Haley Barbour, now the governor
of storm-battered Mississippi); New Bridge's director, Lanny Griffith,
who serves as the chief executive officer (CEO) of Barbour, Griffith &
Rogers, "was national chairman for the Bush/Cheney entertainment
task force and coordinated entertainment for the 2001 Bush
Inaugural".

He was, typically enough, one of the 2004 Bush campaign's
"Rangers" - an elite group of fundraisers, each of whom was
responsible for gathering up more than $200,000 for the president;
while New Bridge Strategies' advisory board member Jamal Daniel is
"a principal with Crest Investment Company" - a firm co-chaired by the
president's younger brother Neil.
