Pretty good article. Enron basically got zilch in spite of it's arm twisting and campaign contributions.

Here is another article, this time by the Houston Press, an alternative weekly, that shows that Enron got a lot -- an awful lot -- from the Federal Government.

Link: "Up in Smoke", by Brian Wallstin and Tim Fleck.

This issue could be a vulnerability for Dubya in particular and the Pubbies in general this year. But notice that even this Left-leaning rag shellacks DemoLib Sheila Jackson Lee, and shows how grubby she was in bellying up to Ken Lay's trough. Lots of people wanted to lie down with Ken's dog, the article makes that absolutely crystal-clear.

The link in Post 2 sends you to an article that is just a bash of the Republicans, with a few Dems tossed in to gain the appearance of evenhandedness. It's "comprensive" history of Enron's growth omitted ANY ties to the Clinton Whitehouse, when the company went from 480th to 7th on Fortune's list of most successful companies. Neither Clinton or Ron Brown are talked about.

Great post. Now, can I convince you to "index" these great Jeb articles you post? I will do it below, and maybe you can do it too on this thread, so you get into the HABIT of it! :)
