I just heard it too, and I'm a bit miffed that the two Republicans who spoke after Dorgan and Hollings, never said a word in defense of the President or the Vice President. Their silence tells alot.

[MizSterious]

Anyone have a transcript of this debacle yet? Hollings said Bush had a "cash and bury" scheme with Enron. You're right, this is war.

[MeekOneGOP]

Did I hear that right? Bush is "Cash & Carry" Administration???

[MamaLucci]

More...Hollings called Enron not just a business scandal, but also a government scandal, and listed all of the Bush admin. people with current or past ties to Enron.
The White House needs a STRONG response to the comments by Hollings. Peter Fitegerald, my Senator, completely ignored Foghorn's comments, SHAME ON HIM. I am calling Fitgeralds office NOW.

This man is an embarrassment to the state of South Carolina and the whole nation.

[Hank Rearden]

Just give him a shove, and he'll fall over. Isn't he about 143 years old?

Which reminds me: I'm sick of all the parasitic, useless, feeble old coots that are supposedly the bulwark of our theoretically-free country.

[hmmmmm]

I just posted this on another thread. I saw that also. I'm still so stunned I'm not sure what to think. This entire press conference is shocking. I hope Fox replays this over and over. Everyone should get to see who/what is repesenting "the people" in D.C. I think this is the most blatant personal political attack I've ever seen.

I think your title is the perfect description.

[Tuco-bad]

Sen Hollings just about called every member of the Bush administration a crook..in language rarely heard in politics.

Last year Senator Hollings was the ONLY senator to vote (97 - 1) against the H-1B program, that brings in foreign workers to displace American workers and to keep a lid on salaries; especially IT and engineering salaries.

Sen. Hollings might be the only honest senator in the U.S. Senate.

We can thank the good voters of S. Carolina and any other state thet continue to vote for a Democrap in ant capacity. That way the so called good Christian citizens can have more hairy legged feminist baby killing federal judges to make all of the scumbag clinttoon decisions. Way to go South, with any luck that creepy lawyer Daminan Edwards can ride another amulance to the White house! Dems dont care its all about race and abortion, drag in more illegals, it dosnt matter! Bye America, Welcome AMERIKA!

Bush has to get tough on Enron and these Demonrats trying to make him guilty by association. They have no charges, but continue on with their lies and insinuations. And the Bush administration is letting them continue on. I hope the Republicans learn to stick it back at the Demonrats and make them come up with facts and specific allegations. It's getting out of hand and they are trying to rely on ignorance to make an insinuation against the Bush administration. What about suing Hollings for slander?

[L.N. Smithee]

It has yet to be demonstrated any role the White House could have had in creating the Enron scandal, yet Time ragazine (with a pic of the WH under the headline, "The Enron Mess") and the news nut-works are letting the libs get away with saying that the company's influence in the admin is the equivalent of sharing in Enron's guilt. That's like saying that Clinton is to blame for salmonella in Tyson chickens.

The news shows' constantly replaying the sound bite of Barbara Boxer referring to Lay's memo to Cheney as "the smoking gun" was indeed a "smoking gun" -- if they are under scrutiny for bias (thanks, Bernie Goldberg!)

It takes a lot of extralogical thinking to allow charges like Boxer's to go unchallenged, but the media are, for the most part, letting it go on until they strike gold. Until that moment, pyrite (aka Fool's Gold) will suffice.

I watched this conferance in horror. I am furious. I called my senator's office and asked his staffer to ask Lugar to DO SOMETHING, to take a STAND publically, to counter this bullshit. I am furious. Hollings is a lowlife. Anyone who would condem this administration knowing FULL WELL already the history of Enron and the names of those who took MONEY from Enron on both sides......is just SICK.
