"And for myself I recommend a truely huge bonus!"

Maybe, through some bizarre twist of fate, absolutely no one in or associated with the Bush Administration has ever been taught what a conflict of interest is. Perhaps we should study the syllabuses for the ethics courses at Pat Robertson's esteemed university to see if it gets covered anywhere.

There has been some uproar over the amounts of bonuses awarded to executives at the US Veteran's Administration. Further investigation tells us that some of those so highly rewarded sat on the boards that so highly rewarded them. In business speak this is known as "cosy".
