Play this one up hard!

Mr. Liberman, were you ever asked by your largest campaign contributor, Citigroup, to look into the Enron matter.

Did Citigroup ever contact you in connection with the billions of dollars they stand to loose in Enron, ask you or your staff to step in on their behalf?

Mr. Lieberman, some people are questioning whether you could have simply stood by and watched as your largest campaign contributor, Citigroup, lost billions of dollars inEnron. What do you say to those people that would accuse you of having some hand in the growing Enron scandal?

Mr. Lieberman, I hate to bring this up, but as you know, Enron's employees have lost a lot of money, some their entire life's savings. What critics are saying is that your involvement in this scandal on behalf of one your contributors, in fact your largest campaign contributor, Citigroup, may have in some way caused Enron employees to loose more money than they would have lost otherwise?

Mr. Lieberman, how do you answer these critic, how do you answer to the financially ruined Enron employees that your involvement helped Citigroup reduce its losses while making the Enron employee losses worse?

Senator Lieberman, will you resign?

I saw the amount of debt of $3 billion after last night's revelations that LIEberman had received a lot of money from Citigroup and said WOW! LIEberman needs to recuse himself now and we need to lead the fight to get him to do it.

Lieberman should recuse himself from his committees investigation the same as Ashcroft if he wants to maintain public trust.

I agree.

Already saying Bush is guilty of something, Henry Waxman blamed the President for not bailing the company out of it vat of pickling juice.Of course, we all know if Bush had fixed the problem, the same Henry Waxman would be crying Foul over that. So there is no way, Bush can win with a dirty pool player like Henry, who fixes the game in advance.

The same Henry Waxman said of all and every Clinton scandal, misfeasance, breach of law, chicanery, subterfuge, "Who cares?"

Proving that the only dog Blowjob Henry wants to kill is a Republican dog named Bush.

Enron had given Darling Tommy, the media's heartthrob, $6,000 in Campaign donations. I guess, according to the world of blowdried Liberal newsmen and ladies, that makes the chief Rat as guilty as a Cat with a dead mouse in his mouth.

Enron, for whatever reason, seemingly didn't offer So What Henry any dough, although he surely would put some into his greedy pocket had Enron done so, but I am comming for your Guns upChuckie Schumer put $21,933 into his deep Gun grabbing pockets, making him number 4 on the list. So what did upChuckie Upchuck for Enron, and when did he upchuck?

Before you continue with this, you may want to consider that Enron contributed 2 million dollars to the Bush campaign. You must then apply the same yardstick to Bush, and I do not see any wrongdoing on Bush's part other than to receive a campaign contribution. It would have to be proven that special favors were granted.

The Enron problem is far greater than campaign contributions. The culprits are the accountancy firm and greedy top executives.
