[Reactionary]

The liberal press lemmings are in full outrage mode on this one, that's for sure. And, like you, I sense panic in the air. They have to be furious that they haven't yet found or created an election year "issue" yet. They're certainly frustrated by what I'm sure they view as an "intolerable" political situation.

What to do? What to do?

They're certainly frustrated by what I'm sure they view as an "intolerable" political situation.

Bingo.

In military parlance, the smear campaign being waged in the press against Bush would be known as 'pre-emptive' warfare.

The Democrats and their media puppets are worried that Bush is about to steal, co-opt or neutralize, yet another wedge "issue". The goal is to keep Bush from gaining the moral highground on corporate sleaze.

Only one problem with this: Polls show that, on questions of morals and ethics, Bush already gets extraordinarily high marks, despite month after month of media efforts to tar him with the Enron brush.
