Yup...all true. The Desperate Dems have just seen the elephant! They think this is the Holy Grail of Political Cudgels with which to beat the shit out of Dubya and those evil, rich, Republican oilmen...(mostly red necked Texans anyway!).
Problem for them is...it just won't wash. This too shall pass...but not before the usual suspects on the left get in their licks. I'm talking about the liberal politicians and media types who have been picking the losing horse before and after the election.
We are talking about a bunch of very frustrated Lefties here. You can bet your stetson that Carville and the boys are gearing up for this weekend's talking head shows. They will be all over the TV like fleas on a hound's butt, raising all sorts of nice sounding concerns about this whole matter, and intoning gravely about how this could really hurt the country and the presidency (harummph...harrumph!).
Example of how desperate the libs are to taint Bush: Last night I carefully switched back and forth across the three [traditional] news networks. Now...just to clarify, I normally do NOT watch ABC/CBS/NBC, but last night, I wanted to see just how those slimeballs were going to cover this ENRON story...in the context of the war news, the ongoing story about the terrorist plot to kill Governor Jeb Bush of Florida, and China's emergence as a powerful nuclear power hostile to the United States.
I had my suspicions that the networks, being very liberal Bush/Republican haters, would all spend a lot of time on the ENRON story. I was not disappointed. They did so...with a vengance. All three led off with the story. ABC and CBS spent about the first 4-5 minutes on the ENRON story. Trust me...in the world of network nightly news that is a long time to spend on one story...TV remotes and instant gratification being what it is. NBC and Tom Brokaw, not to be outdone, spent an incredible seven minutes on this one story. That is an eternity on a breaking story of this type.
In all three network scripts, the recurring theme in each was the potential involvement of President Bush in this scandal. Each network spent lots of ink in their writeups pairing ENRON & Bush. This based on largely unfounded and unsubstantiated rumor and innuendo.
The Libs have been desperately searching for something to take into the Fall elections for months. So far, at each turn, Bush and his team have outsmarted them. I mean really, it has been pretty hilarious at times. The latest dustup with Daschle saying Bush and the Republicans destroyed the economy with the tax cut has just collapsed and Daschle looks real dumb and lonely right now...then up jumps the Devil and we've got ENRON!
It won't work. Bush and his team did everyting right. When the ENRON boys called a few weeks ago asking for government assistance as the company nosedived, the Bush Administration told them tough noogies! You boys screwed up...now live with it.
The ENRON officers and the principals of their accounting/consulting firm may take a heavy fall...but Bush is and will remain clean.
Not that any of this will stop the Dems from acting like trial lawyers with a losing cause...they'll yell a lot, wave their arms a lot and throw a lot of dirt in the air, trying to deal a damaging blow to Bush.
Watch the media...they are really looking to help their soul mates in government. I don't think that will work either. We'll see...
