Face it Mr Palau, it's a red-herring invented by the Democrat loving N.Y. Times. Dee Dee Myers husband thought he could get a political racist slap in and it didn't work.

I find it tough to believe people want to associate with phony individuals like this. But hey, have at it, liberal Politics is their religion, and anything which supports the religion is a-ok.

By the way, I asked the only Pakistani I know (a member of SI by the way) whether he considered the term offensive and he said no. Do you have a better sense of what Pakistani's find offensive then an actual Pakistani does?

Puleeze, these kind of partisan idiotic charges do nothing for your beloved Democrat party or our country. Except to bring it down to the level of high-school toilet like communications.

Instead of "Get out of the Bushes" We should "Stop shoving Clintonized BS"!

Different subject... Here's another article regarding Enron. Interesting how Dingell (a Democrat who accepted Enron contributions) won't recuse himself from the investigation.

Dingell: I'll Grill Rubin on Enrongate Calls

Michigan Congressman John Dingell, the ranking Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said Sunday he intends to call former Clinton administration Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin to testify in upcoming hearings into the collapse of energy giant Enron.

Dingell was asked by "Fox News Sunday's" Brit Hume whether he intended to question the former Clinton official after reports of his involvement in the scandal surfaced on Friday.

"If you watched me when I ran investigations, and I ran a lot of them and they were very, very effective, we had everybody in and we saw to it that we got all the facts," Dingell said, before adding, "Absolutely, yes."

Late last year as the energy giant was sliding into the financial abyss, Rubin reportedly attempted to intercede with the Bush Treasury Department.

Administration officials now say Rubin pressed Treasury Undersecretary Peter Fisher to contact credit agencies in an effort to persuade them not to cut Enron's credit rating.

Fisher told Rubin that such an action would be inappropriate, raising questions about why the Clinton administration financial czar involved himself in the first place.
