Monica wasn't calling the shots she was causing them. It was the shot heard round the world.

I'm not defending Clinton or any other democrat in this scandal either however I don't think it is a stretch to say that right now it looks like the republicans are in it much deeper than the democrats. If any of them is proved to be guilty of influence peddling they should be forced to resign at the very least. While that is a very very difficult thing to prove without someone copping a plea I believe this scandal will result in many politicians not being re-elected.

THe ENron thing started under the watch of Papa Bush. During his administration, legislation was passed that allowed Enron to trade energy like a commodity. The legislation was set up by Phil Graham's wife, Wendy. When Bush was defeated, she went on to the board of directors of Enron.

I have no doubt that Enron gave money to Democrats, as they were in power next. But, the Bush's were there at the onslaught.
