...Someone who had something and lost it." For Democrats, the political beauty of the corporate scandals is that they "play into what people already believe" about Republicans-"that these guys are in the tank with corporate special interests," says Steve Elmendorf, chief of staff to House minority leader Dick Gephardt. "I don't see any downside to this for us." But when the interests of voters clash with the interests of donors, the Democrats too put on the brakes, helping kill McCain's demand that companies list stock options as expenses on their books...
...YORK—Within the next eight years, leading media pundits expect Al Gore ’69, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, Sen. John Edwards, Rep. Tom DeLay, Rep. Richard A. Gephardt, Sen. John F. Kerry and Rep.

The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, which Lieberman chairs, issued the first congressional subpoenas to the Bush Administration, demanding records about its Enron dealings. Lieberman critics say the move was long overdue; it shook loose documents showing...
...always-reliable (and understandable) "why didn't you tell us before?" complaint, voiced with equal brow-furrowing by top Senate Democrat Tom Daschle and top Republican spy-watcher Richard Shelby. There was the hunt for some serious White House negligence, headed up by House Minority Leader Dick "full investigation" Gephardt. And there was a third response, something Fleischer probably wished the White House reporters had been thinking all along: There is nothing scandalous about this...
