I noticed a marked change in the Enron media coverage from Thursday to Friday. Initial reports focused almost 100% of their reporting on GW Bush's relationship with Enron. Not surprising since the leftist media is doing its best to continue the Bush - "Big Oil" theme. However, these same leftists were forced to begin reporting on stories like this Rubin/Enron connection because of the shear volume of emerging Clinton/Enron links. Hopefully by the Sunday talking head shows there will be some real analysis and balance.

I wouldn't count on it. The RATS and their friends in the liberal media are pulling out all the stops trying to get some traction for the next elections. The real blame here goes to Enron management and I hope that they are forced to give back every single dime that they looted from the failing company. I don't care if Ken Lay is a great guy and takes cruises with Rush, he behaved poorly and more like a thief in the night than a responsible person in his position.

Great point. I did a quick check and some of the folks at Dirty Underwear are trying to say that Rubin's calls were not an issue at all. However, some folks are realizing that both Dem and Repubs got political contributions from Enron and more and more of the Enron follies took place several years ago.

I still believe that this has the potential to land with a dull thud if the Dems keep pushing it in the manner they have. I seem to remember reading last night on FR where a Fox poll shows that many Americans believe that the Dems are trying to use the economy as an issue rather than trying to work on the economy. Perhaps the sheeple are on to the Dems, and then again, perhaps not.
