...WOMAN SHOWS GO, UTAH CONGRESSWOMAN Enid Waldholtz's five-hour press conference last week will be hard to top. She borrowed heavily from past performers--Richard Nixon (my mother was "a saint"), Mayor Marion Barry (the "bitch set me up") and Senator Bob Packwood ("I was a binge drinker")--and fashioned her own revue.

...troubles continue to mount for Congresswoman Enid Waldholtz. Tuesday, the Utah Republican filed from divorce from her husband Joe, who has been missing since Saturday amid a federal investigation for possible campaign finance violations. Wednesday, Enid Waldholtz was under media fire for failing to explain how she came up with $1.8 million in personal cash that many believe was the decisive factor in her 1994 victory over Democrat Karen Shepherd. Waldholtz maintains that the money came from family sources, but opponents question whether the money came from the estate of her husband's mentally incapacitated grandmother. Joe Waldholtz is suspected...
