Of course it will be worse. It will be worse because every evening Dan Rather and all the other media lapdogs who slept through the Clinton administration will be
telling us it's worse. They'll be straining at their chains, baring their tiny fangs, and spraying saliva as they yap, "It's worse! It's worse! It's worse!"
And after the evening news is over, Tom Daschle will pat them on their cute little heads, give them all milk bones, and congratulate them on what good little media watchdogs they are.

Not a shred of evidence of anything in this entire article. Not a single line connecting any of the favoritism innuendo to the actual reason for Enron's collapse - risky business practices and suspicious accounting.

Did Bush have insiders working at S and L's covering for him? Did Bush attempt to sway bank regulators? Did Bush attepmt to gain personal wealth like Xlinton X-42 did while in Arkansas? I'm having trouble getting the parallels here ...

Don't expect to see either Bush or Vice President Cheney directly linked to the financial shenanigans that brought Enron down. They won't be. This is not about finding a smoking gun, as much as some Democrats might wish it were.If there are no "financial shenanigans" by Bush how could it be worse than Whitewater? I guess this author thinks people are just too stupid to ask that basic, threshold question before they decide if a "scandal" exists.

I think I read an article some time ago about Dem connections to Enron. Does anyone else remember?

"rammed through an expensive economic plan that wiped out the budget surplus but to date hasn't had any positive effect on the economy."
The Daschle mantra. David Callaway is an idiot and a shill.
To: brbethke
I wonder if this David Callaway ever wrote one critical thing about the Clinton's Whitewater "debacle" .....I wonder.
To: brbethke
David Callaway is executive editor of CBS.MarketWatch.com...Ah, I see. So the executive editor of the site gets to throw in his commentary, slamming our President but we're expected to believe See BS News is fair and balanced???????
Whatta bunch of clymers. I'm so glad I don't have to watch network TV or rely on their lamea** websites for news anymore.
Keep it up, See BS News...it'll be a delight watching your influence swirl down the commode.

Enron's failure was not Bush's fault. Sheesh, it was poorly run and if they did anything illegal the managment is soley to blame. Apparently hundreds of money mangers invested BILLIONS into Enron becauae they LIKED what they saw.

"Don't expect to see either Bush or Vice President Cheney directly linked to the financial shenanigans that brought Enron down. They won't be. This is not about finding a smoking gun, as much as some Democrats might wish it were." But they sure will try and make it seem like they are.
To: brbethke
Try as they might, CBS and their fellow Libs cannot connect Enron's debacle to Bush anymore than they can to Texas Democrats. Enron executives donated to both parties.
And, as usual, CBS gives us a tut-tut on the Clintons' Savings and Loan criminality.

Callaway better take a look at the real story:

To: brbethke
Enron won't bring down Bush. He remains enormously popular for his handling of the war and the rebuilding of the country's psyche after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But it will be a major thorn in his side through the rest of this presidential term, and may even play a role in the next election, depending on what comes out.Wishful thinking. Of course the Democrats and the media lapdogs will attempt to link Bush and Cheney to Enron and constantly infer that somehow, some way they did something sinister and evil but it's a bunch of garbage and not only is there no smoking gun, there isn't even a gun!
I seriously doubt this will affect Bush's popularity as most folks don't care much about a failed energy company unless they held stock in it. Even then, the attempts to make Bush/Cheney villains in the Enron mess won't wash as they had nothing to do with the cause of the collapse.
It'll be interesting to see the liberal media try and pound this into the ground (as they will) and make it 'Bush's Whitewater' - and how the public responds.
To: brbethke
What it is about, and what the public will get to hear and read about in wrenching detail over the coming months, is how business gets done down in Texas. How a small group of business leaders exert enormous clout over Bush and his team in getting the rules changed to their benefit. There has not been an investigation yet and CBS is alredy telling us "what it is about, and what the public will get to hear and read...."
Sounds an awful lot like the reporter writing the lead in advance of getting the story. Not surprising. In fact, it has become so blatant that CBS admits it without so much as a blush.

Dan Rather and all the other media lapdogs who slept through the Clinton administration Indeed.... and would that be the SAME Danny Rather who went approimately 4 MONTHS last summer without even ONCE mentioning the name "Gary Condit"????
I guess "news" is whatever DAN says is news.
To: brbethke
Maybe we need to look a little further back into the history of Enron to see the real influence and corruption of gov't that typified the operating methods of this energy giant, back about as far as this company's dealings with Ron Brown and the Clinton administration.
Maybe we can even uncover the real cause of the death of Ron Brown and the circumstances surrounding his demise.
