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

WASHINGTON - "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall."

This week, this old nursery rhyme has taken control of this column. From Washington to Pittsburgh by way of New York City and Los Angeles with important detours to China, Japan, India, Mozambique, Croatia, England, Germany and elsewhere in the world, we have been watching and reading about the great fall of Enron.

Yes, the Enron mess is deep, and bubba and his thugs were right in the middle of it all. Most of Enron's global investments were greased by xlinton cronies. What is interesting, is most were a total FAILURE. I was an Enron investor in the 90's, but their evasiveness and close dealings with the 'toon's team always made me nervous. I bailed last year around $70, good thing I did.

As a little footnote for all those conspiracy freaks, take a look at who was SUPPOSED to be on Ron Brown's fatal last flight.

GREAT ARTICLE!!! Thank you very much. I have to admit this is the first time I understand why Enron went belly-up and in the crooked shenanigans it was involved.

Hey MurryMom, are you reading this?....you claimed that BUSH greased the skids for Enron.....looks like your cult god Boy Clinton did it....oh, doesn't the truth hurt!!!!

Shares valued at $90 each this August are selling for 10 to 26 cents.

Sheesh! Why do writers exaggerate so blatantly when their reporting can be so easily checked.

Enron was nowhere near $90 in August (after having fallen off quite a bit throughout the year).

Enron shares started August a little over $45 and ended August at about $35.

The lowest it's ever gone was at the end of November when it hit 25 cents at its lowest point. (It's currently at 66 cents.)

[Howlin]

It has reached the point that I can now say that I would not be shocked by ANYTHING that is reveled about these two.

I keep saying that, too. Then I'm ALWAYS shocked at how much LOWER they will go, aren't you?

[Alamo-Girl]

I will bless those who bless you... And in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Genesis 12:3

I continue to pray for God's blessings for Israel and for America, and for the safekeeping of Jerusalem.

May God bless you and those you love, Simcha7!

This can't be true. Enron is part of the evil Dubya-Cheney-Halliburton Cabal.
That's what TV and The Left Angeles Times has told me, so I know it's true.
(NOT!)

Has anyone posted this story on Henry (Nostrilitis) Waxman's Enron corruption hotline? I'm sure that Mr. Nostrilitis will be very interested in this information.
