Time magazine even had an article called, "Bush's Enron Problem." The Associated Press ran with the headline, "Bush-backing Enron makes big money off crisis." Sorry, but I cannot fathom:

A Time Magazine headline:

Obama's Goldman Sacs Problem

or AP writing:

Obama-backing Goldman Sacs Makes Big Money off of Campaign Bet

Ken Lay helped the Democrat power base that runs the city of Houston. Just saying. He got Mayor Lanier the extra votes he needed for $1billion in stadiums.

They named the baseball ballpark after Enron, until the scandal. Ken Lay is still honored in the area.

Enron wasn’t broken by the NY Times because they are “the only paper that can do the detective work”. Houston’s Comical SIDED with Lanier and the Downtown Business Establishment like Lay’s Enron.

LBJ bought off the Chronicle in the 1960s when he permitted a bank merger to go through.

The continued efforts to spin Enron as strictly a Republican deal are revisionist history. If I recall, the Atlantic ran a hit piece about GWBush’s team the Texas Rangers playing at Enron Field. When it was pointed out that the Houston Astros play at Enron Field, the article intro was rewritten online to talk of Bush’ team the Houston Astros. When it was pointed that Bush’s team was the Rangers who play at Arlington Stadium and the Houston Astros (with a separate owner in Houston Texas, hundreds of miles away) play at Enron Field, they wrote some roundabout sentence trying to link them.
