...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. Her wealthy father, "the finest man I know," inconveniently remembers the $2 million that went to her 1994 campaign as a loan (there is a $1,000 limit), but that's because his memory is not so good.

Enid Greene Waldholtz wasn't kidding when she began a press conference today with the words: "I'm here today to tell you about the last four years of my life with Joe Waldholtz." For more than four hours (one per married year) an alternately tearful and angry Enid Greene Waldholtz proceeded to tell her story of how she had been taken in by her husband, who is currently under federal investigation in a $1.7 million check-kiting scheme. In her rambling confessional, the Utah congresswoman said she will not resign, and attempted to give reporters a "full accounting...
