Former President Clinton says the bull market of the 1990s bred corporate
corruption but that President Bush's laying blame on his predecessor twists
the truth.

``There was corporate malfeasance both before he took office and after,''
Clinton told a Washington television reporter. ``The difference is I
actually tried to do something about it, and their party stopped it'' in
Congress.

``And one of the people who stopped our attempt to stop Enron accounting was
made chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission,'' Clinton said.
``That is a fact; an indisputable fact.''
