So Kenny Boy and his Cheney, Jeff Skilling, have been found guilty of various criminal charges in the Enron debacle. Do you think the Dear Leaker will be rushing to the press room to talk about Kenny Boy, the felon that used to be his best buddy? The press sure aren't going to ask him - an hour after the verdict came down, the press mentioned Lay's name exactly zero times instead of asking Snowjob about the verdicts and his boss's reaction.
Why, exactly, do we have a White House press corps?

Tony Snow: I mean, the administration has been pretty clear there is no tolerance for corporate corruption. And furthermore, the Justice Department has been going aggressively after those who are involved in corporate corruption.
That is true. What they do tolerate is political corruption.

Someone's got to be there so Karl Rove can out CIA agents that disagree with Dear Leader.

Because "Presdential Fluffers" would never fly in the heartland.
