Study Confirms the Obvious

Well, this may be obvious to just about anyone who doesn't get their news from Faux News, it is, apparently big news in the rest of the SCLM. From MSNBC's web site:

The headline: Study: Bush backers land Iraq deals

The lead graf:

Companies awarded $8 billion in contracts to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan have been major campaign donors to President Bush, and their executives have had important political and military connections, according to a study released Thursday.

The money graf (pun fully intended):

The Center’s analysis of contractor political donations showed:
* The top 10 contractors contributed $11 million to national political parties, candidates and political action committees since 1990.
* Fourteen of the companies won contracts in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Those companies, combined, have given more than $23 million in political contributions since 1990.
* Most contractors, their political action committees and their employees have contributed just under $49 million to national political campaigns and parties since that year.
* In the same time period, contractor donations to Republican Party committees outpaced contributions to the Democrats, $12.7 million to $7.1 million.

I continue to be un-surprised at anything this administration does. Disgusted, yes. Surprised, no.

And just how is it that these SCJ (So-called Journalists) are just now getting around to this? Do your goddamn jobs!
