flap, McConnell's one of the worst of the corporate toolies. Mr. Soft Money himself. He'll give 'em the best loopholes that money can buy. After all, as Trent Lott says, isn't that just the way they do business around there ?

Chao gets a break until she shows what she's got.

I think the Cheney strategy is to make rightist changes on so many different areas at once that many will get through. Of course you should expect Ms. Chao to be a team player in this effort.

After the Ball Is Over
January 20, 2001
From The New York Times

By FRANK RICH


" Change the tone? As Clinton-Gore raised $33 million largely from their
corporate masters for their first inaugural, so Bush-Cheney have solicited
$35 million from, among others, the securities firms that want to get their
hands on your privatized Social Security retirement accounts and the
pharmaceutical companies that want to protect the prices of prescription
drugs. And already foreign money is making its entrance — in the form of
a legal but unsavory $100,000 contribution from the deputy prime
minister of Lebanon, channeled through his son.


Now comes the news — reported by the columnist Robert Novak —
that John Huang, the convicted Clinton- Gore fund-raiser, repeatedly
took the Fifth Amendment in November when questioned in court about
his alleged fiscal ties to Republicans, including Senator Mitch McConnell,
the No. 1 opponent of the John McCain crusade for campaign finance
reform that Mr. Bush has yet to credibly embrace. (Mr. McConnell is
also the husband of Mr. Bush's latest labor secretary-designate, Elaine
Chao.)"
