Mr. Gallup Regrets? The new Gallup poll drops a qualifying "yet" into the headline on a report of their latest results of a poll on Enron's effect on Bush. As in: Enron Scandal Has Yet to Taint Bush Administration. For some, hope springs eternal for this non-starter.

Tiny Tidbits From The Scandal Trail: That Condit/Chandra Grand Jury we all forgot about has been quietly working away and hasn't forgotten about the missing D.C. intern - the New York Post reports.
