It's hard to turn on the television or read the newspaper without finding some rehashed "revelation" from more than a decade ago about President George W. Bush at Harken Energy or the so-called accounting scandal at Halliburton Corp. The liberal media and congressional Democrats say they're just trying to see how Bush's words on corporate accountability square with what they imagine to have been his past actions and those of former corporate executives in his administration. "
I expected to see a series of Democrat quotes regarding Rubin, Clinton, Corzine, Torrecelli, Lieberman, Daschle, et. al., scandals along the lines of "I don't think we should be looking back at the past. I think we should be focused on what we're going to do now." After all, that is the double standard, isn't it? Dwelling on Bush's past while imploring us to not look at the Democrats' past?
