All RATS except for Pat Buchanan, Fred Thompson, Jack Kemp, Kay Bailey Hutchison and Tom Davis.

Today's lefty spin on Enron

Since the leftys have been unable to find a 'quid', much less a quid pro quid, the focus on Enron has changed. Campaign Finance Reform is secondary to, 'what about the poor employees'. Henry 'my nostrils are my garage also' Waxman sent up the trial balloon earlier this week.

When Enron called in their chit and asked for help from GWs cabinet, they shot 'em down. So much for buying favors. But now Waxman and the rest are crying over how the Bush administration should have done something for the employees.

It will be interesting how the Enron story will be presented today. In mid-week the story was "Enrongate" and how it was going to topple the Bush administration. By yesterday most of the "pack journalists" had actually taken the time to look into the vast influence Enron had with both political parties including the previous administration. I suspect "Enrongate" will soon be relegated to the Business Section as executives from both the company and its auditors are brought to justice.

Timmy doesn't hit the local airwaves for 6 more minutes so I'll just sit here and watch this commie pinko Katrina Vanden Heuvel spew her venom on C-Span.

[YaYa123]

Katrina Vanden Heuvel of The Nation is on C-Span. She gets it! And boy is she steamed. She said so herself: Republicans "own" family values. Republicans "own" the flag.

She's such a nitwit, and soooo transparent. 30 seconds after she said people should use the internet to find out the truth about George Bush making secret deals with the Taliban, she was asked about the NYFD statue being altered to meet PC standards. She said (lied), she didn't know anything about the statue, and besides, the internet is full of right wing conspiracy theorists.

And yes, she threw in "This administration cares more about corporation fatcats than they do the little people."

A caller says, "I wondered who would be putting out such drivel, then I saw it was the editor of The Nation".

[visagoth]

The WH should ban Paul Oneil (on FOX) from going on any show. This guy just is not very credible, sorry to say.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Tim Russert showed a quote by Waxman, saying (paraphrase) that the Whitehouse knew of Enron's problems and did nothing to help out thousands of people from losing their savings.

That's it?

That is Waxmans beef?

Waxman is upset because Bush didn't bring Big Government to step in and take control? I thought the Dems were supposedly against "more government". And here Waxman is complaining because there is not enough?

Waxmans an idiot!

And Bush has not a single connection to Enron as Clinton(s) did with Whitewater!

This is a ploy set up by the Dems and Hillary will show to be behind it!! What idiots!

[leadpenny]

I overlooked your thread when I started one to announce Kristol's appearance on C-SPAN.
Wrist has been slapped and I won't let it happen again.

[be-baw]

Commerce Secretary Donald Evans on MTP was abysmal. He could barely make a coherent response. Bush's economic wing of his cabinet are about as bad on TV as you can get. Where are Karen Hughes and Karl Rove when you need them?

[TheOracle]

Laura Ingraham on CNN Reliable Sources now.

***GERALDO ALERT*** Live on FOX from Somalia...

[DoctorMichael]

Man!, was Biden obnoxious!

.........also threatening!!!!!!!!! Did anyone catch the not-so-thinly-veiled threats about Bush's Interim Appointments. What an A$$HOLE.

[denydenydeny]

My favorite quote from FNS today:

John Dingell (D-MI): "I have opposed Enron every turn."

Two seconds later, he admitted that he'd taken $10,000 from Enron in campaign money. That, he didn't oppose.

[PogySailor]

Juan Williams is practically working off the DNC talking points this morning.

[denydenydeny]

Two favorite lines from today's FNS panel:

Fred: "Juan, you know perfectly well they [Senate Democrats] want to roll back that tax cut. They hate tax cuts."

and,

Brit: "I am of Scottish descent and I am deeply offended by the name 'Boston Celtics,' and I want apologies and reparations."

[leadpenny]

Good for C-SPAN. They just ended their hour with Kristol by plugging the upcoming Alan Keyes show on MSNBC. Kristol gave it faint praise by saying, "I'll watch it once in a while."

[conservativesoutherner]

At the end of Fox News Sunday, they always do a 'mailbag' segment where they read letters they get from viewers. I got a phone call right about that time and missed it. Does anyone remember what they were about or what they said? I would be much obliged to the perceptive soul who could fill me in. By the way, it's possible I may be falling in love with Brit Hume (just wanted to let you know)!

[Benrand]

For having a very pretty face, Katrina VadenHeuvel has a monotone insane leftist voice.

And her mind's all messed up. Does she even realize that NYC was created through the culture of the West and not insane leftism? I doubt she realizes how foolish she looks...it must be that having so much money, the little rich heiress doesn't need to bother to think things through.

[isthisnickcool]

Lieberman is full of crap! Where was he when lot's of us lost money in the "dot.com" collapse? Nowhere? Why? Because it didn't bash Bush! That's the only issue here. Bashing Bush.

By the way, like most people, I took my losses and moved on and overcame any damage on my own.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The tupee is rabid in his interview (attack) on Paul O'Neil. The secretary is giving thoughtful and simple answers to the wigs questions on ABC.
