So Bush was wrong to suggest that he doesn't have ownership of a
timber company. And Kerry was correct in saying that Bush's definition
of "small business" is so broad that Bush himself would have qualified
as a "small business" in 2001 by virtue of the $84 in business income.

That was 2001. This is 2004. Does he still own an interest? If not,
his
answer was correct.

The article is from factcheck.org, the site Cheney cited in his own
defense
during the televised debate with Edwards.

The site does say that the Lone Star Trust owns a timber company (though its
holding of LSTF, LLC). However, the $84 was from 2001. Since the tree
company has had no income to date, it can't generate a profit. More
importantly, the Lone Star Trust is the blind trust that Bush's holdings are
in, so by the virtue of it being a blind trust, Bush should not be aware of
its holdings. This seems like a rather big omission from the factcheck.org
site, which is usually pretty fair IMHO.
