As I wrote yesterday, the Enron story is already over.

Uh huh. Of course, it's on the home pages of CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Time, Newsweek, The Economist, and countless other papers and magazines, but no one reads those. It's slipped off Drudge, though, so that must mean that the story has disappeared. Yeah, right.

Holding our hands over our ears and yelling "LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HERE YOU" does not mean the story is over.

The White House has surely done nothing wrong, and it's unfair that they have to respond to the Enron crisis to make it clear that they've done nothing wrong. But since when are politics fair? This is actually an opportunity for the White House to show it's superiority over the sleaziness of the previous administration. But if they insist on holding disclosures back, they will appear guilty in the eyes of the public, even if they have nothing to hide. And while the Dems and the biased media outlets will help, the fault will ultimately lie with the White House if they don't step up and start managing this more aggressively.

You are naive, and you think that the posters you are responding to on this thread are as naive as you are. You are quite wrong.
