she's an economist with no real experience managing or even working in any business. She's worked in the academic world and in a government bureaucracy.

Hear the joke about the Taliweenies and Omar??

Presumably she was subpoenaed because she is an Enron board member. I presume that all of the board members were subpoenaed as a routine matter. Therefore, this headline is biased and misleading. It's possible that her being Senator Gramm's wife involves some shennanigans or conflict of interest, but that is for an investigation and a trial to show. The correct headline would have been "Enron board members get subpoenas." If her husband were a Democrat senator, I'm sure that's how it would have read. Her Democratic husband would have been mentioned only in passing somewhere on a back page.

Was there funny business? Who knows? But there's no question that the press are playing this dishonestly. It has all the signs of being orchestrated from central source, presumably the DNC.

So being on the Enron Board of Directors is, what, just a political payoff?

I'm shocked.

With her education/experiences, she should be able and qualified to read financial statements and ask questions and run a few numbers in her own mind whether things add up or not or if just too good to be true.

I was executive secretary to a board of directors of a cooperative and I cringe at the state of affairs when I first started working with the Board. All decent guys, but absolutely 'yes' men to the general manager.

I was with them 9 years and help closed the company down....it was only during the last roughly year and half, when there were 2 new board members who came on board that questions began to be asked, different ways of looking at things analyzed, etc., including another auditing firm.
