firms like Arthur Andersen developed a strong incentive to overlook fraudulent bookkeeping.

I understand Arthur Andersen was selected by the 1998 Congress (that would be, uh, under Klinton's watch) to do the accounting for one of the Government's departments (that, I'm sorry, I cannot recall at the moment). It was AFTER this that Cheney then selected Arthur Andersen as his accountants. Hmmm.....well, I guess Arthur Andersen's gross unethical accounting practices are still Bush's fault..... what a joke.

The blame should be placed on Arthur Anderson, not Clinton. If your child does something wrong do you blame the sitting President? What happened to taking responsibility for one's own actions?

Selected by whom? You imply it was by the Republican Congress. Shall we now blame all the failings of the Republicans during the 90s on Clinton as well?
