How was Enron a "Republican scandal"? Was that not the Bush administration prosecuting what had been a "Democrat scandal".
Moreover, I've a hard time characterizing what befell Scooter Libby and Karl Rove as the product of a "Republican scandal". Was not the real scandal in the Valerie Plame Affair the way it was prosecuted?
“How was Enron a “Republican scandal”? “
Perhaps my point was too subtle. Ken Lay (CEO Enron) was a big donor to the G.W. Bush campaign in 2000, yet he was prosecuted by the Republican Bush administration. Rightly or wrongly the GW Bush administration did turn federal investigators loose on Republicans for real and imagined wrongdoings but ignored flagrant Democrat wrongdoing. A missed opportunity. When Democrats are in power they use power to protect their own and destroy the opposition. When Republicans are in power they go after their own and ignore the transgressions of the opposition.
