Bush Will "F--- Whack This S---" for Enron, "Crude, But True"(CBS Rather Blathers Enron Bush Tie)

I don't think Enron or the California power crisis will have any impact on this election unless California starts having blackouts again this summer.

I am totally convinced that the American public, in any meaningful numbers, can't remember anything longer than six months.

This story is a nice one-day smear, but it's just part of a never-ending campaign to elect Kerry. By itself, I don't think it means much.

Is it free speech to publish the addresses of journalists?

What did Lay and Enron donate to Clinton and the DNC other than the $100,000 mention earlier?

[snooker]

At the rate see-BS is going, by this time next year they will have less viewers than CNN.

[lonestar]

During Clinton's eight years in office, the company and Lay contributed about $900,000 to the Democratic Party. Former Enron officials said an important part of their strategy to win favor with the Gore campaign was a significant increase in the company's donations to Democrats. In 1999 and 2000, the company gave $362,000 in soft-money donations to Democrats.

Never mind to my question about donations to Dems.

Dan Rather -- the anchorman who blushed and gushed before Saddam.

[NeonKnight]

There were a couple of guys down at the local pub hammering on Bush. I have it on tape. You think Dan will air it for me?

[Dog Gone]

Absolutely. You could probably sell it to him for big bucks.

[no_problema]

that's correct.

if rather wasn't an a-h, he'd question what the s.e.c under the clinton admin. was doing, or rather, not doing.

[snopercod]

were they not manipulating the market during the Clinton Administration?

Actually, all the investigations to date have not found any manipulation at all, or very little.

But the liberal press is desperate for anything they can pin on President Bush, so they keep telling the big lie in hopes it will catch on if they repeat it enough times.

[snopercod]

That's right. Enron made so much money manipulating the energy markets that they promptly went out of business.

And I also believe that John Kerry was a war hero.

[FierceDraka]

Oh, what I would pay to have Dan Rather alone for just 5 minutes. In a dark alley.

MY EMAIL TO SEE B.S. "NEWS"

Dan Rather & the whole "decision"-making crew at CBS Evening News:

Lousy lead story tonight, again trying to dredge up the old Enron thing. Bill Clinton's administration was the one presiding when Enron was bilking investors and, allegedly, consumers. He did squat.

California since then has voted in a Republican governor...and the Ashcroft Justice Department has gone after a lot of the suspected perps in Enron. Breaks your heart, eh?

Trying to make Bush the bad guy here is foolishness. Gonzales and Rather both should know the Enron guys called and asked for special help from the Bush administration and were REFUSED. Guess that never made it into your report.

And the economic _fact_ that price caps DECREASE supply and are a _drain_ on the economy. A simple review of a very elementary book 'Basic Economics' by Dr. Thomas Sowell would provide the evidence for that statement. But, again, simple facts aren't in the agenda, are they? CBS gatekeepers would rather shade their journalism a very bright yellow.

The pathetically biased reporting from CBS is just another evidence as to why networks are trending toward a loss in market share while cable and internet sources of news are gaining. Who do you really think you're fooling? Even your older-trending demographics aren't going to buy this anti-Bush bilge forever.
