I've said all along that the Demos are so busy trying to smear Bush that they're exposing themselves. The best thing that occurred with Enron is that the people saw that Democrats were also receiving money from big corporations. This was news to many, believe me.
It's surprising to see this in the NYT.
I think that both parties are smearing themselves by being so self-righteous in the field of corporate ethics. Most people feel that lying and deception is small time in the corporate field compared to the lying and deception practiced by our political operatives in the social Security and trust fund fraud.
There is the saying that people who live in glass houses should throw no stones. By bringing the issue of fraud and mistatement up, the politicos are coloring themselves black and creating uncertainty in the fall elections.
