Dick Cheney may be Barack Obama's cousin, but he's also Jon Corzine's business partner
By Wally EdgeTPG-Axon, the hedge fund that Gov. Jon Corzine has invested as much as $90 million of his own money, has a $332.2 million stake in Halliburton, a defense contractor that has become the devil to liberal Democrats nationally. Corzine's ownership of Halliburton won't cost him any real votes -- anti-Halliburton voters dislike John Ashcroft even more - but it's still worth noting.

Are You F'ing Kidding?
Corzine has a $332.2 million stake in Haliburton??? Again, if this was Chris Cristie, this would be all over the news and the Democrats would be furious.
what about Stanley Ho?
Tpg-axon, corzine's hedge fund has a 200+ million investment in a casino in Macau. His partner in Macau, Stanley Ho. Stanley Ho is a reputed Mob Boss whose daughter Pansy Ho was just deemed unsuitable by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission because of her father.
That's right, the daughter can't be anywhere near a casino in NJ because of her father but Jon Corzine can be partners with him in a casino. Unreal!
