Your article danced around the idea of a possible White House scandal while offering the weakest support of the allegations I have ever read. So five years ago, while George W. Bush was Governor of Texas, Karl Rove recommended Ralph Reed for a job at Enron. How is that illegal or unethical? And a few sentences in a government report may have been altered at the suggestion of Ken Lay. But that is unimportant, because the energy policy the report advocated was never enacted by Congress.

As the President's chief political brain, the Texan, 51, delights in crafting a message or staging a presidential visit that doesn't just score a political point but also plays to several constituencies at once. So when it was reported in the New York Times that Rove might have steered an Enron contract to Ralph Reed, a G.O.P. kingmaker whose support Rove needed, the political elite in Washington, which includes some longtime enemies, thought that just might be his kind of pool...
