You can be sure that if there's a no-bid, gift contract to be had, the GOP-stacked insiders are going to be all over it. (NYTimes).

I have some ideas as to what these no-bid negotiations might look like:

Administration Contracts Manager: I'm going to need an estimate on your guaranteed contract to do flood cleanup. Keep in mind that you'll have no competition whatsoever, your estimate won't be vetted or even questioned by anybody in the administration under penalty of career-ending repriasals and retaliation, and the budget is a half-billion, with likely increases.
Haliburton VP: Wow: What a co-inky-dink! Our estimate is exactly a half-billion! Increases, of course, will be likely. We're going to need that 'no questions' part in writing.
Administration Contracts Manager: Excellent! The deal is yours! We'll start you off with the usual retainer. Put it on your books. Will I see you at Cheney's fall quail massacre on Saturday?
Haliburton VP: (shaking hands) Have I ever missed one? Ha ha ha!

"Bills have come in for deals that apparently were clinched with a handshake, with no documentation to back them up, said Mr. Skinner, who declined to provide details."
