Leiberman has always looked and sounded like Marvin the Martian...and I don't care of That's Not a *Bit* Nice!

Glad to hear of your new employment, that old job must have been lonely with the views you appear to have. You're right about Russert. It is his style, but only with Republicans. The Rats get the softballs. Hope you don't mind the plagarism, but I might use a question or two from your post in a letter I'm writing to Waxman and Leiberman. It should be posted Monday.

I really do believe there are far more Democrats whose knees are knocking over this whole thing. 5 posted on 1/12/02 11:53 AM Eastern by Mahone [

I can hear dim boney knees knocking clear out here in the midwest (Ohio).

From the Washington Post, jan 14...........

Enron's political action committee also gave $10,000 to the New Democrat Network, which was co-founded by Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.). Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee that year, now chairs the Senate Government Affairs Committee, which is leading an inquiry into Enron's collapse.

Several senior Enron officials spent election night at Vice President Gore's headquarters in Nashville.

This isn't just the media spin. This is the media being water boys for salvating "So What" Democrats who want Bush's head on a pike.

From the Washington Post: "Jennifer Palmieri, the Democratic National Committee press secretary, said a nationwide party offensive beginning Jan. 21, which was to focus on the consequences of the return of deficits, now will also seek to popularize the term "Enronomics" as a critique of Bush's tax and budget policies.

"He cooks the books, uses rosy economic scenarios and doesn't worry enough about the human side of the ledger," Palmieri said. "It was so hard to explain before. Now you can explain it.""

""Democrats are very excited about this because this gives us a hook to bring this guy some accountability, plus there's no way it's not going to be a distraction for them," a key Democratic strategist said. "Privately, Democrats are almost unanimous in seeing this as a significant political opportunity. "

Don't forget either: Robert Rubin (ex Clintoon Treasury secretary, now Citigroup executive) DID call an under-secretary of Treasury repeatedly in October, asking for help re: propping up Enron's credit rating. It may have had something to do with the fact that Citgroup had $750 million in outstanding loans to Enron at the time.

Basically Rubin was trying to get the Dept. of Treasury to artificially prop up Enron's credit rating long enough so(perhaps) there'd be a way for Citigroup to unload the paper on someone else. Not surprising at all, considering a Clintoonista was involved.

Clearly the dems are jumping on this, just as we would do the same. The only problem they will have, eventually, is that the dems are as entrenched as we are. The tentacles are everywhere. Information regarding Enron and the Clinton admin are coming out as I write.

I still maintain that this is a financial scandal, and not a political one. The dems will try to stir it up, but as the truth is unveiled, Bush will remain unscathed.
