Arthur Andersen CEO Joseph Berardino is due today to talk about how much he didn't know. And so just as the cluster of Enron probes took a sharp turn over the weekend toward sending people "to the pokey," as Rep. Billy Tauzin put it Sunday, lawmakers are finding themselves either with no guests at all - the Senate Commerce committee simply canceled Monday's episode - or even worse: with guests that nobody particularly to watch...
