And what is UP with that Republican Texas connection, eh? The most deeply entrenched politicians (at least, till the GAO can get hold of Cheney's records) in this scandal so far are all Texas politicians, lawyers, and corporados.

Phil Gramm. Tom DeLay. The Bush family. US Attorney office's entire Houston staff recusing itself. The Republican public utilities commissioner appointed by Bush's gubernatorial successor being forced to resign.

Yeah, I agree that the Dem sleaze bags are bad. But looking at who has been implicated in the Enron scandal, the Republicans are in much deeper, for much longer, and for most of the money and political influence.

Again--we haven't even seen what the Cheney meeting notes will reveal about the Bush/Cheney "energy policy" when the obscene profits were taken with the manufactured "energy crisis" in the West last year.

Remember--Bush said doing nothing was the right thing to do then, too!
