FRIENDS OF ENRON LAUNCH VICIOUS AD ATTACK ON DASCHLE
"Kenny Boy"'s Buddies Begin Terror Air War
Message: "Don't Mess With Texas
MWO SPECIAL REPORT "
In a sudden sneak attack, the friends of Enron and its deposed
C.E.O. Kenneth Lay have begun running vicious personal television attack
ads against Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.
T.V. Smear of Tom Daschle,
by Friends of Enron (FOE's)

The ads, currently running in Daschle's home state of South Dakota, are meant to terrify
voters into submission over the White House and G.O.P.'s economic and energy
plans -- plans largely dictated, we now know, by Kenneth Lay.
The ad, a classic negative t.v. smear, charges that Daschle is a dangerous partisan,
and promotes the usual G.O.P. propaganda about its "economic stimulus" package.
The ad fails to manage that the G.O.P. package includes a $254 million windfall for Enron.
The group that calls itself The Club for Growth has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The well-financed Club, little known to the public, has numerous ties to Enron and Lay.
Among the club's founders and one of the members of its policy council
is Lawrence Kudlow, former Reagan official and current contributing editor
of National Review, who was one of the
conservative writers secretly on the take from Enron,
in arrangements exposed only last week.
The day before George W. Bush's inauguration, the club hosted a triumphant
meeting at the Dirksen Senate Office Building, offering an "Agenda for Prosperity"
to the incoming Administration.
Among the featured speakers: Larry Kudlow and Kenneth "Kenny Boy" Lay

(That's Kenny Boy in the middle.)
Kudlow went on to describe that session in National Review, where he
called Lay "a big Bush insider," and said that Lay had let the group in
on Team Bush's determination to cut the
capital gains tax.
Among the other officials in the Club are the notorious "supply side" propagandists
Arthur Laffer and George Gilder, as well as failed right-wing presidential
aspirant Pete du Pont and
veteran organizer of right-wing front groups, Brent Bozelle.
Now, with the Bush phony "pro-growth" budget on the ropes, with the Enron
mess growing higher and higher, the Club for Growth, friends of Enron,
have decided to step up to the plate
and get blatantly political -- and viciously personal.
