"The Enron story is THE next big political scandal and both sides of the aisle are desperately trying to make it look like it is the other side's fault."

It's a financial scandal, to be sure. As in fraud. But where is the political scandal?

Enron gave, liberally, to both sides of the aisle. They appear to have gotten lots of favors from the Clinton administration. The only thing they got from the Bush administration was a firm "No", when they hinted they needed a bail-out.

Enron flourished under the Clinton administration. They went bankrupt under Bush. Where's the "scandal"?

You're assuming that the Truth matters to the newspapers. I just meant that this would be the next headline splashed around for the next few weeks/months, and that both sides would be playing the 'blame-game'. I doubt that it matters to them that this isn't a political failure, but a business failure, once it becomes the 'top story'.
