Re: "Bush was not in a position to influence peddle."

That's a good one. Tell me another fairytale before supper.

INFLUENCE PEDDLING

The Shrub was in position to shake down the foreign minister of Argentina in 1989, calling from the White House on behalf of Enron to purchase a newly privatizing gas transmission network for about 10% of the offer of a Spanish conglomerate. Enron won the deal, Argentina got more IMF "compassion". If that isn't influence peddling, I'd like to know what is.
