Maybe somebody ought to hook a bungie cord up to Bill Kristol.

He could be next. Enron paid him $100,000 to work as an "advisor."

Give me a break. Peggy Noonan was on their payroll too. Do you expect her to take a header? And Paul Krugman and Larry Kudlow were good for $50 grand from Lay.

Your theory on this thread has been highly speculative at best. Maybe you ought to get some facts to back it up before continuing to fan the flames of a very damaging rumor, dragging other ideological foes of yours in as it suits you.

Tell me what I've said not factual.

Peggy Noonan was paid to write a speech for Enron. That is not the same as the relationship the other 4 journalist had with the company .

Did make an error above. Fastow's assets, not Skilling's, were frozen by the Feds less than 24 hours before Myerson killed himself.

Mentioning Kristol and bungie cords was meant as gallows humor. He was stupid, or rather arrogant, to take $100,000 from Enron.

Larry's theory seems to be strongly supported by the fact revealed in this morning's Washington Times and NY Post that Myerson's suicide was preceded by that of fellow NY Times financial reporter Agis Salpukas. A Lexis search on "Agis Salpukas" and "Enron" gets 43 hits, many of them articles by Salpukas about the company. The couple of them that I looked at appeared, like Myerson's pieces on Enron, to be puff pieces.
