I found this in Howard Kurtz's column today in the Post. Thought of you.

<<Marshall Wittmann's Bull Moose column hits the CEO administration:

"The Moose is witnessing chickens coming home to roost.

"The recent focus on the President's and Vice President's personal business dealings at Harken and Halliburton is the fault of the conservative movement. No that is not a misprint. For eight years, conservatives were obsessed with the Clintons' financial shenanigans. Scandal-mongering as much as ideology motivated the right-wing elites and rank and file. Now, their favorite President is sowing what his allies reaped.

"The Moose was neither enthusiastic about Clinton's behavior nor scandal mania during the Clinton years. Ironically, the right's personal attacks only strengthened Clinton politically. The impeachment effort was a hypocritical violation of conservative principles which had opposed both unlimited discovery in sexual harassment cases and an unbound independent counsel.

"Hypocrisy in the pursuit of Clinton was no vice. . . . The Democrats are unlikely to be any more successful in dwelling on the personal financial foibles of Bush and Cheney than were the Republicans' obsession with Clinton. However, Bush and Cheney have failed to recognize that they must overcompensate for their clear pre-disposition to corporate power."

Somehow, we don't think the White House has the Moose on speed-dial.>>
