The press has never got the connection between Bernie Ebbers and Dorgan either. Dorgan wouldn't even answer the phone during all the Worldcom stuff for fear of the press.
They've been friends for 20 years. Nothing in the press about it.
Dorgan has a lot of power in the Senate, and keeps as low a profile as he can. All the way down.
As an ex-Worldbomber, Bernie needs to burn in hell.
