01/27/2002 Entry: "Dick."

"But what's really at stake here is the ability of the president and the vice president to solicit advice from anybody they want in confidence -- get good, solid, unvarnished advice without having to make it available to a member of Congress." - Dick Cheney


This quote is ridiculous enough to almost seem like a parody. Dick Cheney is concerned that people will figure out that his meeting with Enron executives just might have influenced the administration's development of energy policy. My question is, how could any advice coming from a company like Enron about the nation's energy policy be anywhere near "unvarnished".?
