I think I read an article some time ago about Dem connections to Enron. Does anyone else remember?

There is a slew of them. If anyone did political favors for Enron, it was Ron Brown and Bill Clinton. Sweet heart deals in India, etc.

Bush was on TV today talking about investigations into Enron so he is out front on this.

My personal belief in all this is it was all the non-energy crap that Enron got involved in that brought them down. They wanted to be a dot-commer like everyone else and got caught holding the bag. I don't think (and this is pure supposition on my part) that the energy trading part was flawed, just all the superfluous stuff. We shall see.

Here's one:

Bill Clinton a friend of Ken Lay - received $100,000 from Enron 4 years ago

And another

Political Influence Wins Contracts For Gas Company {ENRON'S CLINTON CONNECTIONS}

And another

Clinton-Gore sales team eased Enron's path to success

I think there's enough blame to go around.

Lay supported Ann Richards, says GWB. If she and her cronies are suspect, this story will drop like a hot potato. Dems never do anything to benefit from Big B'ness. Right? Right.

In the months before its collapse, Enron gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic politicians, including some members of Congress. Of course, you never see that mentioned in any articles about the company and its shady dealings.
