Good post, JH-squared. The story here is that Enron gave this President half a million bucks and it bought them absolutely nothing. The Democrats find that unfathomable. They cannot believe it because they know damned well that had THEY been the recipients of half a million, they'd be doing cartwheels for the guys. But that's the reality of corporate political donations today. Big corporations give to the Reps because they tend agree with them ideologically; and to the Dems in order to buy favors or at least prevent themselves from getting screwed.
I do think the administration ought to do a better job of damage control as the media salivates over this particular piece of rancid meat. For some reason, they have been hesitant to point out the indiscretions of the previous administration on a number of fronts. Perhaps it's time to reveal some of the juicy tidbits they must have discovered among the ruins of those ransacked offices.
Finally, whatever respect I had for Enron (and believe me it was precious little) evaporated when I discovered they gave $38 grand to Sheila Jackson Lee. Someone ought to be sticking his nose under that one to see what it bought. Did the ultra-liberal socialist from Texas vote for deregulation? Hmmmmm?
Thanks =^)

I know, I know, it shouldn't surprise me, but they should be out there fighting in the trenches, battling the Dems, mano-a-mano.
