There are plenty of things Mr. Bush can do to inoculate himself against any taint from the Enron disaster. He should embrace campaign finance reform, demand a severing of ties between Enron and those around him and cooperate with all Congressional investigations on the issue.

Ahhh...everyone's an opportunist. Here we go again folks. John McCain, Tim "Trigger" Russert, the NYT, and every other Democrat's going to be ALL OVER the place yapping about CFR and "the special interests".

God help us.

Enron is a perfect example of the problems of business in trying to influence legilation. The pols bring up a bill that would harm a certain business and then use that to blackmail the company to buy their vote through campaign donations.

We see the same thing in our own personal mailings from fund-raisers affecting legislation that would harm us. Some of these extreme bills are generated for the purpose of raising campaign contributions. Legislative blackmail is the name of the game.
