Paul Krugman received a $50K consulting fee from Enron.

Therefore, the millions in bribes paid by Enron to little Dumbya and untold dozens of other Repuke politicians are totally irrelevant.

Wrong fallacy. You demonstrated this one:

False Analogy

---

Definition:

In an analogy, two objects (or events), A and B are shown to
be similar. Then it is argued that since A has property P, so
also B must have property P. An analogy fails when the two
objects, A and B, are different in a way which affects whether
they both have property P.

Examples:

(i) Employees are like nails. Just as nails must be hit in the
head in order to make them work, so must employees.
(ii) Government is like business, so just as business must be
sensitive primarily to the bottom line, so also must
government. (But the objectives of government and business
are completely different, so probably they will have to meet
different criteria.)

Proof:

Identify the two objects or events being compared and the
property which both are said to possess. Show that the two
objects are different in a way which will affect whether they
both have that property.

Excellent example. It puts Krugman in a better position, being a pot, to call the kettle black. I didn't think you know that about that weasel, Krugman.

I presume you have at least some evidence of bribes paid to someone other than a Clinton or one of his associates and/or functionaries. It is interesting to note that the Enron chairman stayed at the white House during the Clinton administration. Besides aren't you one of the ones who says contibutions from the PRC do not matter unless one can absolutely prove that specific favors were granted only because of the contributions to a political campaign.

Or were you just giving us an example of an illogical untrue attack to highlight how really lame it is?
