I think it may be slightly disingenuous to characterize the "Enron Loophole" as something promulgated by Bill Clinton. The Republican controlled Congress sent the "Enron Loophole" to Bill Clinton with a veto-proof Republican majority. It was literally slipped in the dead of night into otherwise important legislature by Senator Phil Gramm, a Republican from none other than Texas, at the behest of Ken Lay himself. I don't think I even need to point out the "six degrees" implications of that cast of characters.

Recently, the narrowly Democratic controlled Congress has pushed to remove the "Enron Loophole" through amendments to farm subsidies legislation, but Bush has promised to veto any such attempt. And just in case there's any doubt, Senator McCain has publicly defended the "Enron Loophole."
