[Grampa Dave]

When you see garbage like these words in an oped or an article, you know immediately that you are seeing the political garbage and lies of a left wing maggot posing as a reporter or oped writer:

key White House political operatives

This is like right wingers, conservative reactionaries and other labels. It is code for the left wingers who are able to read. Of course as less and less future left wingers are able to read or will be able to read. Garbage like this has less of an audience each day!

"Cheney called the state's power purchases – begun by Davis when investor-owned utilities tottered on the edge of bankruptcy – a "harebrained" scheme."

Grampa, you're right when you say "Of course as less and less future left wingers are able to read or will be able to read."

Looks like the reporter has Jimah Carter's wild hare story confused with the Gray Davis hairbrained scheme!!!
