WASHINGTON - Democratic senators Wednesday accused the White House of mounting a whisper campaign against Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan for not fully endorsing the president's tax cut plan. They put forward a resolution supporting Greenspan.

As the central bank chief sat at the witness table at a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., spoke of ``an ongoing, orchestrated whisper campaign to discredit'' Greenspan, who heads an independent agency.

``Some in the administration are sending a clear message: You are either with us or against us,'' Schumer said. ``It is a heavy-handed attempt to corrupt the objectivity of the Fed that is so vital to the confidence of our financial markets.''

He gave no examples.

I never trusted Greenspan or liked him one bit. Now I know why. If the little pizza guy likes him that is reason enough. (little pizza guy = Chucky as in Chucky Cheese Pizza)

Will someone please force Giuliani to take this clown out? Between this and his little hack job with Estrada, I've had quite enough Mr. Schumer. I guess Al D'Amato was right when he called Chuckie a putzhead.
