INTERESTING TIMING: In an
editorial urging Senate Democrats to invite Citigroup snake-in-the-grass Robert Rubin to testify about Enron, the Washington Times points out an interesting fact: "Since Mr. Rubin arrived at Citigroup in 1999, Enron's use of the controversial financing ballooned from less than $1 billion in December 1998 to nearly $5 billion in June 2001, five months before Enron went bankrupt." Add to that the fact that Rubin made phone calls to the Treasury Department to discuss a possible bailout of Enron and you have a compelling reason to ask Rubin to testify; it should be a no-brainer. Why, then, is Senator Joe Lieberman, the chairman of the investigating committee, refusing to invite Rubin to testify? I suspect that had Rubin been a treasury secretary in a Republican administration, he would've already been hauled before the committee and demonized by the New York Times and the Left's other accomplices in the press.
