Sadly, I think that you're right. Very, very, very few people in government are pragmatic anymore. The goal of this website is to root out corruption in government, regardless of political ideology. If Phil Gramm's wife had anything to do with this mess, she should be scrutinized. For G-d's sake, she sits on the board of Enron, AND her husband is a very influential senator. It is no different than Daschle and his wife, or any other politician who has a significant other sitting on the board of any major company (Dianne Feinstein comes to mind).
We, as Americans, need to remove each and every corrupt politician, regardless of their political party. It makes no sense to selectively target people like this Callaway jerk-off has. It makes us look like hypocrites, and it accomplishes nothing because they can always say the nature of any investigation is political. It's precisely what happened with Clinton, and it's precisely why it continues with the Enron connections to Bush.
