POP-UP VIDEOS ON CAPITOL HILL: Howie Kurtz has more on Enron today. The funniest part is his speculation on what would happen if little factoids popped up on screen every time a congressman's face was shown during televised hearings (a la the VH1 show "Pop-up Video," which Howie erroneously credits to MTV).

What if every time the Agriculture Committee chairman appeared, the television screen would say: "Largest recipient of farm contributions, supports keeping subsidies while attacking out-of-control overspending"? What if Congressman Bloat was railing against pork and the caption said, "Secured $1.2 million grant for district to study why people litter"? What if Senator Snidely was denouncing a boost in the minimum wage and viewers were told, "Voted to Raise Own Pay Five Times in Eight Years"?

Apparently, something like this was actually going on during the recent Enron hearings. I wish I had seen that.
