I am well aware of the media spin. Indeed, they appear to be salivating. I happen to have complete faith in the Bush Administration, and this is going to end up being absolutely a pebble in the pond as far as the contributions.

The worst thing that is going to erupt from all of this is that we are going to have to listen to McCain beat his gums, again, about CFR.

When McCain stops taking campaign money first then maybe I could see his argument.

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. "
