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. "

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.
