Not true. They caught many of the media lies, but not all of them. First of all, the stock was only blocked for a short while, while they changed the companies handling the retirement accounts. Otherwise, anyone could have sold any time this past year. Second, according to an article by Rush Limbaugh posted a little above this one, Enron's boss did NOT sell stock, nor did most of the officers. One officer sold stock, but according to Rush he would have done better if he held onto it and sold it now. I find that a bit hard to believe, but I take it that what Rush said about the big boss hanging onto his stock is probably true.
Why would the Dems lie about this? Because they want to make it look like heartless rich people screwing the working class, with Bush's complicity. None of it is true. Yes, the officers of Enron must have made some terrible mistakes and committed crimes. But like the workers they all got badly hurt in the meltdown.
Beg to differ - Lay, the officers, and the directors have been selling stock all year. Go to Yahoo > Stocks > ENE > Insider. It's all there in plain sight.
