Like so many bad conspiracy ideas it fails the brilliant idiot test.

Enron: 'exposing what is wrong with the way the Bush administration is conducting itself these days.' (from the article Bush's whitewater/worse)

Guess this one 'fails the brillian idiot test',too. Right?

No that one fails the WTF test. In that Enron got huge during the Clinton administration, went on fine for years without the Clinton FTC and SEC caring. Completely ignored their New York auditors. And now that the Bush administration version of the authorities found massive impropriety all the yahoo's are blaiming Bush. All the crimes were done on somebody else's watch, they actually got CAUGHT on Bush's watch by Bush's people, and yet it's Bush's fault... WTF?!

Although I suppose there is a little brilliant idiocy in the idea that these guys (supposedly with Bush's help, or at least the help of his good friends) would be smart enough to cook the books for years, but dumb enough to not pay of the auditors to look the other way. Which does bring into question just how much this was a conspiracy involving lots of members of the Bush Cabinet and how much it was just a few business leaders getting stupid.
