Enron to Bush: fly me

While we are still digesting the unsurprising but still flabbergasting report about the Bush campaign’s use of Enron and Halliburton corporate jets during the Florida recount fracas, Al Gore comes out punching — finally — in a Times op-ed today. Looks like Gore is mad about comments from Joe Lieberman and others that he was wrong to play the populist card in 2000. My only question is what took the once and presumably future candidate so long to enter the fray. Meanwhile, Democratic National Committee spokesman Bill Buck wins the soundbite prize: “The Bush-Cheney administration literally flew into power in Enron’s and Halliburton’s corporate jets.”
