Amazing how lucrative punditry can be: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 KRISTOL – CLEAN: A preliminary Nexis check found no Enron puff-pieces by Bill Kristol, while he was being paid $100,000 for being on an “advisory board” for Enron, apart from a banal, unsigned Weekly Standard defense of Ken Lay last June. There was this Irwin Stelzer piece last November, but it includes a relevant disclosure about serving on the board (no fees mentioned). Make what you will of it. If you dig up anything relevant, please let me know. Stelzer, meanwhile, still hasn’t emailed me back with a list of Enron-paid pundits. I’ll let you know his response as soon as he does. The $50,000 Enron payee, Larry Kudlow, however, wrote two Enron pieces before disclosing his fees. Since the pieces were harshly critical of Enron, there’s no scandal, but he surely should have mentioned it the very first time he ever wrote about Enron. andrewsullivan.com And to think, we give our gems away for NOTHING!!!
