Weekly Standard - This is your paper isn't it? It would seem that their objectivity cannot be trusted in the Enron story. KRISTOL GOT $100,000 FROM ENRON: Bill Kristol emails to clarify that he was on the Enron advisory board for two years “I believe,” for what would be a total of $100,000. That makes Kristol the biggest Enron pundit beneficiary so far. And the sum wasn’t disclosed until today, so far as I know. The web spreads. Who else was on the board? Did any pundits get more than Kristol? Stay tuned ... - 6:20:06 PM PUNDITGATE, CTD: Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard emails to say he got $50,000 a year from Enron, implying he was on the same board for more than a year. I’ve asked him to clarify. He adds: "I won't rat out others on the 'advisory board,'" and has “donated” the money for his daughter’s college tuition. Hold on a minute. If there's nothing wrong with this, why does Bill use the word "rat"? Aren't journalists supposed to be in favor of full disclosure of everything relevant to public matters of debate? I guess it's one rule for pundits, another rule for everyone else. - 5:23:04 PM andrewsullivan.com
