Thanks for your efforts. More of us need to follow your lead.

Well ... Daschle can't have a dem senator going to jail - HE WOULD LOSE HIS POWER!! But ... a dem from the house is okay, because they don't have any power there.

It's that simple!

"White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said President George W. Bush "is determined that people who break America's laws and engage in corporate practices that are corrupt will be investigated, and will be held liable, will be held accountable and will likely end up in the pokey, where they belong."

Unless they're government related. So far the Clinton Administration has gotten a walk...I expect Rubin won't be any different.

I agree with your point, but I still want to know why Ken Lay has not been taken away in handcuffs. Both parties are trying to make it look like fraud was "not illegal at the time, but boy we will pass a new law to make sure it wont happen again". Right - just like they said they would crack down on illegal aliens after the 1986 amnesty.

I have a question to myself. If the enemy of Israel is Hamas and Hezballah over in Palestine, why is Bubba willing to jump in a foxhole and defend Israel against Iraq with a semi-automatic weapon?

Are not the Palestinians the immediate and current danger to Israel and Americans? Who's geography is better, Bubba's or mine?

So, x-42 lied again at a fundraiser? His vision of himself as a war hero is moot because he has no plans of defending Israel. Bubba knows that Iraq isn't marching over a hill to Israel. He's still slick and it appears that he functions nowadays in a fantasy world trying to build a legacy in his own mind.

WHAT DOES IMUS THINK ABOUT THAT? If I have time, I'll write to him about Bubba's comments. FV

Hi afz
You said, "... I still want to know why Ken Lay has not been taken away in handcuffs. ..."

I thought of your question for quite awhile, and I don't have an answer of my own. But I was watching the FOXNews business shows this morning and heard something interesting as the gurus were predicting when the market will rise again. They were debating the value of all the highly visible CEO perp walks, and one asked why it was taking so long for the Enron folks to get their handcuffed walk in the sun. Molly Falconer said, be patient, they are in the works, that the officials being arrested now, so publicly, are the ones who can be flipped. She assured the panel the feds are building their case against Enron execs, and their day's coming.

If they didn't handcuff anyone for BCCI, they certainly won't for Enron. Ironically enough, many of the same parties were involved.

Something tells me that Imus is a closet Rush fan. He could not have thought up the "Rubin" question by himself, since he's insulated within the New York leftist mind controlling media.

I'm sure Bernard was prompting Imus for the questions about Rubin with Lieberman.

Thank you. Doing this kind of stuff was a little intimidating at first, but the more I do it the more fun I have.

Drudge has an article today on the Enron investigation, how it's going to take a long time to complete it, linking Enron officials with overseas bribery. All me to assist:

...."Friends in Washington
"...As opposition to Dabhol mounted, Enron turned to the Clinton administration for help in pressing the Indian government. U.S. officials -- from Energy Secretary Hazel O’Leary to Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin -- threw their weight behind the project.

"Failure to honor the agreements between the project partners and the various Indian governments will jeopardize not only the Dabhol Project but also the other private power projects being proposed for international financing," the U.S. Energy Department said on June 5, 1995.

The Clinton administration was driven by a belief that India was the best U.S. opportunity to beat Japan in an emerging market in Asia.

"India has become one of the few emerging Asian markets where American companies have bounded in ahead of Japanese competitors, with Clinton administration officials regularly leading groups of executives there," reported the New York Times. [Nov. 22, 1995]..."

Please excuse my double reply

and of course Lieberman should call Rubin to testify, but as my article suggests....Hazel O'Leary might need to be called too.
