Very interesting article. Bush's attempt to withhold information from the press will just make them push harder, and so long as the Ds are in charge of the Govt. Reform Committee in the Senate, they control that subpoena power. Eventually, these documents on his Harken and Rangers deals will come forward so he is just prolonging the drip, drip, drip of media attention on his business dealings. Then, he offers a staunch defense of Cheney, that Ds quickly charge taints the SEC investigation of Cheney since the big boss just told subordinates in the SEC how he wants the investigation of Cheney to come out. Recall that W hung out in his Dad's 1988 campaign with Lee Atwater. Atwater's axiom was "never get in the the way of an opponent who is self-destructing." The Democrats must be thinking the same thing right now. Clinton has keen political antennae, and he has been unusually quiet of late (for him). Indeed, the public may soon long for someone campaigning to return BJs and "focus like a laser beam" to the Oval office. Bush's speech on Monday about how the economy is so great stuck me as not far different from his Dad running about in 1991-92 saying how great the economy was. Rings pretty hollow for those who have lost their jobs, those who fear they soon might, and those who fear they will have to keep their jobs for several more decades to backfill the hole Enron/Andersen/Worldcom/ have blown in people's portfolio. saukriver
