An old joke: A liberal economics writer receives $50,000 from Enron and then proceeds to write a Fortune magazine piece touting that corporation. Several years later, when it becomes expedient to do so, he blasts the very same company that paid him off for supposedly paying off the "evil" Republicans.

The focus of a NYTimes article is so predictable.

So, Mr Krugman and NYT editors, where is the companion article reporting who all got the bribes from Enron? Oh, that's not news? Okay! Guess I'll go back to the Washington Times for real reporting.

The Democratic party has determined that they want to make Enron a campaign issue. They have recently decided to release all kinds of spin and press releases, ask for investigations and make provocative quotes in the hope of creating the image of a news story. This article expanded upon much of the spin that the Democratic party has been working on for weeks.

The real story no democrat wants told is in the following newspaper article.

Sacramento BEE Story on the REAL SMOKING PRICE GAMING GUN

The Cal ISO engaged in clear anti-trust behavior by trying to create a conspiracy between the Cal ISO and Enron, for the purpose not of lowering power prices to California ratepayers, but for the purpose of harming companies in the Pacific Northwest! This article clearly shows that the Cal ISO under the control of Democratic Governor Gray Davis was guilty of criminal behavior aimed at harming the PNW.

HOW IS IT THAT WITH FACTS LIKE THIS, all the column-inches of newspaper are devoted to Enron? Isn't it news that California doesn't have "clean hands?" Isn't it news that California tried to harm NW companies? Ask Inslee, Cantwell Boxer, Feinstein, and others if the Justice Department should initiate criminal proceedings against CAL-ISO. Ask Inslee, Cantwell, Boxer, Feinstein and others if FERC should ban the Cal ISO from participating in energy markets?

There is a bigger story that neither reporters, nor the democratic spin masters, nor the NY Times have yet got around to telling.

The above is a slight modification of a letter I wrote to a local newspaper reporter challenging him to set the record straight. I encourage all Freepers to investigate this and then send similar letters to their newspaper reports covering this issue. If we all Freep the press, the truth might come out and the Democrats might find that they have Destroyed Gov Davis and the California Democratic party.

Krugman and Kristol, the double K boys, who received $50,000 from Enron for doing nothing!

Now one of the K butt boys for Enron is now writing this anti GW hit piece.

It is clear that the brain trust of the Rats, the NY Slimes, DC Compost and LA Slimes are working overtime to cover up for Benito Davis. They will try to use the Enron mess to smear GW and make the little Fascist Davis look like a hero.

Again I ask a simple question. Can anyone remember in the last 8-10 years any article published by the NY Slimes that ever told the truth re a political situation?

When does the NY Slimes lie to Americans to protect its fellow STD contaminated Rats in politics?

And the crisis exhibited exactly the features you would expect if market manipulation was playing a big role: much of the state's generating capacity stood idle even as wholesale electricity prices went to 50 times normal levels.

Much of the state's generating capacity stood idle even as wholesale electricity prices went to 50 times normal, because Grey-out Davis and his cronies had capped the price wholesalers could recieve.

Who's going to produce any product just so you can lose money on it?

Krugman is supposed to be an economist? Pretty convenient for him to forget this salient fact, eh?

I APPLAUD THE BRAVERY AND THE OBJECTIVITY OF THIS GREAT WRITER!

HOWEVER, HE IS AN IDIOT. I GOT $117,000 FROM ENRON, AND HE ONLY GOT $50,000! I'M A MORE IMPORTANT CROOK ER GREAT PERSON!
