Scheer coincidence?

While checking for Robert Scheer's latest offering, I discovered that the Los Angeles Times has inexplicably bumped his column from January 2 back to the front of the queue. The title? "Enron is a cancer on the presidency". His latest column is "A fox is about to reassure us hens", about Bush's new accounting inititive. Of course, there is a gratuitous Enron/Ken Lay reference, and swipes at Bush and Cheney about Harken and Halliburton. He also palys fast and loose with the facts about Bush's filing with the SEC, and accuses the SEC of whitewashing the whole incident because the SEC chairman was a Bush (I) appointee.

Scheer is not a hen, he's Chicken Little, incessantly clucking about how the sky is falling. As for the LA Times recycling his old columns, hopefully someone important (obviously not me) will call them on it, and they'll end up with egg on their face.

UPDATE—11July/7:24 PM Byron York's article in National Review destroys Scheer's facile attempt at a Bush smear.
