"Terry McAuliffe, the Democrats' chairman, has called Enron ''simply outrageous'' and declared that his ''heart goes out to the employees and shareholders who were victimized by a web of greed and deceit.'' Now we learn that he parlayed a ground-floor $100,000 investment in the Bermuda-based, Beverly Hills-situated telecom company Global Crossing into $18 million and cashed out well before Global Crossing went belly-up this week, after having never turned a single yearly profit. We are to believe it is Mr. McAuliffe's business acumen that landed him on that ground floor in the first place, not the buddy network he cultivated as chief fund-raiser to his president, Bill Clinton. ''If you don't like capitalism,'' said Mr. McAuliffe in defense of his windfall, ''move to Cuba or China.''"
