But the DNC wasn't ready to let it rest. The DNC Fax-o-Rama sprang into action again, but this time, the media WARNED the DNC that it was barking up the wrong tree - that there really was no Dubya involvement.
The DNC didn't listen. And, as a result, we now have a total of ELEVEN House committees that are doing the grand work of making as much noise in as little time as possible, knowing as they must (by now) that the Enron thing has a very short shelf life. All this time, and no one's made anything stick. Not only that, Enron doesn't resonate with the public - despite all the media has since done at the DNC's urging. It simply affected too few people, most of those it DID affect were not of the "sympathetic sort," and it's going to go away inside of 30 days.
Democrats, who should have ignored the DNC - and the DNC, who should NOT have ignored the Media - are going to wind up looking like petty li'l sore whining losers reduced to yes-man status on the interview shows.
This is one of the very few times when the Media has balked at a DNC task - albeit only briefly. Right now, it hasn't quite sunk in at the DNC that Enron ain't gonna stick. The Media, who already know this, is looking for a graceful way to gradually reduce their nightly quotient of Enron Minutes until the story is gone.
Hey. They tried, but it didn't work.
