Goggling and found it.
AMY GOODMAN: Just one second, because I spoke over you. I spoke over you. The former Texas senator Phil Graham's wife, Wendy, say again her role.
ROBERT BRYCE: She was on the board at Enron at the same time that Graham was in the Senate sponsoring legislation that benefited Enron. Not only did Graham not recuse himself, he sponsored legislation that effectively allowed Enron to operate as an unregulated commodities exchange. So, I mean, there's plenty of -- Enron's money corrupted a lot of elements of government, and it wasn’t just the Bush administration. I’m not saying that to excuse the Bush administration, because, I mean, when you look at Enron and you look at the Bush administration, you see the similarities. Both operated with this clear idea that they were going to change the world, that the world was going to follow their new business model and that that was going to change the world forever.
Yup. Gramm did not do himself any favors with that. On the other hand, the overwhelming number of Senators voted for that--not just Gramm. Basically, they exempted electric power traders from the commodity regs. And Clinton signed it.
"Robert Bryce" is an idiot. First, the transcriber should know which "Gramm" we're talking about. Second, Senators don't "recuse themselves". Texas voters wouldn't be upset if he lobbied on behalf of a huge texas employer. Daschle's wife was an airline industry lobbiest and he never saw a conflict of interest. Third, Enron didn't corrupt the Bush administration at all. They were more closely allied with the Clintons than with the Bushes, at the national level.
