If Bush administration had stepped in to help ENRON, Waxman would have screamed "fatcat favoritism".

Sine Bush administration refused to step in to help ENRON, Waxman screams, "Bush didn't step in to help the little people".

Waxman's nostrils would be flaring no matter what Bush does..it won't be too long before Waxman's attack dog politics hurts all democrats.

Kristol says it will soon become evident the Clinton administration did more for ENRON than Bush Administration.

Evans sort of hit on the idiocy of Waxman but the point needs to be made even strongly.

Waxman says that the Bush administration should have stepped in to help the Enron employees/shareholders as soon as they new the Enron ship was sinking.

Henry, Hello? Henry? What would you have the administration do? Put out a "SELL" recommendation on Enron? Call all the employees and tell them to SELL? At that point, who is going to BUY? And if someone did BUY, what's to become of them? At this point it becomes strictly a zero sum game.

In most things economic where you have the possibility of wealth creation and real growth, the RATS cling to the idea of the zero sum game when it doesn't apply. In this particular case when you really do have a zero sum game, they conveniently ignore that fact.

ALL:

Why are the Dems saying that the Enrons employees were not allowed to sell their stock..that only the top officials were? Aren't there windows where employees are allowed to buy and sell several times a year? The stock has been falling since Mid february 2000...so the employees were not allowed to see since then??

"Kristol says it will soon become evident the Clinton administration did more for ENRON than the Bush Administration"

And ... I guess we now know why Lanny Davis was telling the dems to lay off this issue.
