Rubin and the Clinton Treasury is the key.

There are ways to get at Rubin and his ties to Enron. Some ways are better than others. Taking shots at him on the Sean Hannity Show may appease the "red meat" crowd but may serve to polarize mainstream people who don't know anything. Let's do it the right way: Congressional investigation, Congressional testimony, leverage Enron executives to expand the probe, build a case, and then nail him.

P.S. Maybe I'm naive and too optimistic, but one thing the Clinton Presidency taught me was that the messenger became the issue rather than the message. We need to out-smart the "damage control spin machine" tactics that Clinton masterfully created.

I agree 100%. I wish, though, someone would explain to me what real benefit would have come from these two men unloading on Rubin. From news reports it is clear that the FBI and SEC are investigating the middle and late 90s with regard to Enron and other matters. With respect to the Commerce Department report, the news story is out there. No reason for the Bush Administration to pound on the issue. That is what Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, etal are for. Furthermore, these men will not comment on someone who may be the focus of those investigations. Most folks with one eye and half sense would recognize this.

Sure Bush has stumbled, but I can think of very little he has done that he did not campaign on. On those matters we can have an honest debate.

Pick up a copy (if you haven't already read it) of Shephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and you will get a keen insight into George Bush the person and the President.
