CNN is so liberal....How liberal is it? With their (probably) pre-packaged claim that Bush is letting his friends profit from post-Katrina contracts, they pick on an unusual target - The Shaw Group.

THE DEMOCRATS' KATRINA PROFITEER

But in their zeal to embarrass the Bush administration, CNN overlooks one very fat and inconvenient fact--and embarrasses only itself.

The Shaw Group, a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate, is headed by Jim Bernhard, the current chairman of the Louisiana Democratic Party. Bernhard worked tirelessly for Democrat Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco's runoff campaign and served as co-chair of her transition team. Another Shaw executive was Blanco's campaign manager. Bernhard is back-scratching chums with Blanco, whom he has lent/offered the Shaw Group's corporate jets to on numerous occasions.

Honestly, if any company employing anyone within six degrees of separation from Bush gets a contract, they're treated as criminals by the media.
