Excuse me while I try to get a grip....
(Ok, there...,deep breath...feel a little better.)
Actually, it is just another piece in the Bush Crime Puzzle; the puzzle which seems to have puzzled the news media types right out of their over-priced loafers.
Most of it we have known for quite sometime, but now is the time when it should be re-visited.
Truthdig - Reports - Robert Scheer: Bush Links Energized Enron:
"The Bush family consistently acted to put Enron and its longtime CEO, Ken Lay, into a position to rip off investors and taxpayers. Why is the mass media ignoring that fact now that Lay has been convicted in arguably the most egregious example of white-collar fraud in U.S. history?
Until he hooked up with the Bushes, Lay was just another mid-level energy trader complaining endlessly about being hemmed in by onerous government regulations and those terrible consumer lawyers who prevent free market hustlers from doing their thing. But after he and his company became top supporters of the Bushes, eventually giving $3 million in total to various Bush electoral campaigns and the Republican Party, doors opened for them in a big way. In particular, once Bush the father got rid of key energy industry regulations, Lay was a made man and Enron's fortunes soared. "
