A Media, TV Press, et al that spent all it's time defending the Clinton lies, and giving a lot of space and time to the Clinton lacky's, has just about let it's glee at the potential to attack an honest President, and help make the democrats look less crooked by implying the old stand by:"they all do it" walk themselves into a fatal trap.

Some sentence. Where's the editor for this rag?

The media will soon discover that Enron has the same curse as the S&L fiasco and the true financial crimes of Whitewater, it's incredibly boring.

What kept Whitewater going was not the money, it was the coverup. The scrutiny of Whitewater in Little Rock turned up a lot of the other clinton sleeze.

This thing has gone full circle. Today I've seen complaints (on TV) that this administration did nothing to help Enron.

Sorry, but invoking the Clintons and other rats is not going to make this go away. This is heart-attack serious for Bush. Sure Enron gave to the rats too. But there's an undeniably big imbalance in the amounts given to rats versus the good guys.

And, Don Evans looked absolutely inept with his stammering and stuttering while answering tough questions from Tim Russert this morning.

LOLOL oh, the media tripping over itself to back away from blaming President Bush. Just heard ABC radio news at 10a.m. and they played Senator Levin saying that the failure of Enron hurt democrats, republicans, and independents. That was their entire sound bite!!!! LOLOL

Since the media spent so much time suggesting the Bush administration did something to help their friend Ken Lay, they are now unable to pick up the Waxman mantra....that President Bush refused to help BUT SHOULD HAVE!!! Even the media knows that dog won't hunt!!!!

If some two-bit punk goes out and robs a bank, and gets caught, he will likely spend many years in prison.

What has he done? Deprived some bank of the use of its money (most likely insured) for a period of time. How many people were actually hurt?

When corporations and individuals conspire to defraud tens of thousands of investors of what may be part or all of their retirement savings they usually walk away with a slap on the wrist and a full and public accounting of the money involved never takes place.

In my opinion these criminals are the worst of any you can name. If convicted of these huge swindles they should be publicly hanged or shot in the back of the head. If the government won't step up and do it a group of the swindled investors should hire it done. What court in the land could find 12 people who would be willing to convict them?

Last night, on CNN's "Reliable Sources" we had five (count 'em - five) liberal media types salivating at the possibility of hanging this one on the Bush administration.

I just went to the CNN web site and copied the transcript. It go into my files, to be resurrected when that part of the story falls on its face.

Check it out at: Transcript of Reliable Sources

BTW, one of the liberals was Phil Bronstein of the SF Chronicle. Isn't that Mr. Sharon Stone?
