Gephardt was unable to attend the appearance because his plane was fogged in due to inclement weather, but Costello addressed the crowd and took questions. The "Countdown to Victory" event was held at the Sundance Lodge on Route 30. Question From Audience: "Is integrity going to become an issue in this campaign? Because the Republicans railed on Clinton for eight years - and some of it rightfully so. That rubbed off on Gore negatively and unfortunately. But this administration, and Cheney in particular, he's an embarrassment to the whole country. And it doesn't get enough publicity. When Enron walked in there and dictated the American energy policy, he didn't even try to cover it up. The very next day he came out with the energy policy." Rep. Jerry Costello (D-IL): "Could you imagine what the Republicans would be doing to a Democratic president who was a CEO of a company that now has gotten billions of dollars worth of contracts - no-bid contracts - without competition? There would be hearings day after day. And my prediction to you is that you will see in this session of Congress that begins on Tuesday, there will not only be hearings but I think there ought to be impeachment hearings." END |
