Bush had better be a terrific politician to dig out from under this mess. I would imagine we will now lose the House as well as the Senate. The Democrats will hang this around his neck just like Watergate. There can be no rational defense for this behavior and no stonewalling. Bush needs to get all the bad news out immediately; not later. Last time I checked Bush didn't work for Enron, nor make any decisions for them.

This Enron mess has the potential of Watergate. Before anyone dismisses this out of hand it is well to reflect on the way that mess was handled. It was a "third rate" burglary and then got worse and worse. Cheney had six meetings with Enron. He will have to release any records of those meetings as will Bush and all of his cabinet members. Otherwise, there will the endless charges of a "coverup." This is political reality. Look, I am on Bush's side and don't want this to damage his presidency but I'm also a political realist and know what can happen in these matters. And again, the Enron executives belong in federal prison. They have ruined the lives of thousands of innocent Enron employees who were denied the chance to get at their retirement funds. The American people will never stand for this.
