I'm not going to defend Secretary of the Army Thomas White from Paul Krugman. I'm no fan of Enron, but I am going to continue to correct a couple of misleading statements that Krugman seems intent on perpetuating. [I]n February 2001 Enron presented an imposing facade, but insiders knew better: they were desperately struggling to […]
Economist Paul Krugman takes on fire policy in his latest diatribe against Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Oops...my mistake. Krugman's attacking Bush, for wanting exactly the same thing for the rest of the fire-ravaged West that Daschle arranged for South Dakota. Thinning of the forests in an effort to minimize the effects of forest fires. […]
Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer attacks the Times effort to classify former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as part of a group opposed to attacking Iraq. The egregious part of the story was the touting of Henry Kissinger as one of the top Republican leaders breaking with Bush over Iraq. This revelation was based on […]
While Democrats are screaming to know how much influence Enron may have had on President Bush's energy policy, Time magazine reveals that -- oops the Clinton administration was listening to Enron too. Long before Cheney's task force met with Enron officials and included their ideas in Bush's energy plan, Clinton's energy team was doing much […]
Last week Krugman took on Bush and his connections in "privatizing" Utimco -- the University of Texas Investment Management Co.

One commentator on the Halliburton item below pointed out that any cost-overruns on a Halliburton project would likely be contested. Though Halliburton would get paid something for the additional work, since it doesn't have the check in hand, […]
An editorial in today's Washington Post takes Bush to task for defending Vice President Dick Cheney. PEOPLE SAY that Harvey Pitt, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, damages the president's post-Enron credibility. On Wednesday, however, it was the president who damaged Mr. Pitt's credibility. At a news conference with Poland's president, Mr. Bush […]
What would Krugman have done if he'd been writing for the New York Times at the beginning of the Clinton administration? Would he have been decrying Hillary's health care task force and its refusal to release minutes from its meetings? Would he have been critical of Clinton as allegations arose bout him using state troopers […]
It's Friday, and that means that we can expect New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest screed against the Bush administration. Krugman reveals in his piece that the Bush administration is full of corporate or Washington insiders. Well, what administration isn't? The former secretary of the treasury under Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, was definitely an […]
