The LA Times verified and recently published nearly all of this article. But we're not to post from the LA Times, so here's the parent article.

Wow, that's some payoff Bush gave them: The biggest bankruptcy in American history, with a better-than-even chance that a number of those execs are going to end up in jail.

[Lady In Blue]

President Bush's name is George W.Bush.He is NOT a junior! I guess Bush bashers will believe anything.The problem is what did Enron,itself do and NOT who received contributions because if we go down that path,it's going to lead straight to Clinton and Company!

[isthisnickcool]

Who is George W. Bush Jr.?

All the little weasels from serpenthead Carville to McCauliff are pushing the Enron talking point. It's all they have.

THE ONLY connection this proves is that Bush accepted campaign funds as did many other Republicans as well as democrats. That is not earth shattering. In order to run a campaign they must accept donations. And when someone is willing to donate and you are running for president you accept the funds. Anything beyond that is nothing but lies and garbage. You have no proof just rumors.

This is business as usual and there are hundred on Enrons out there !

So what's the fix?

Bar anyone from public office who knows someone in private business?

Interesting article , if it is accurate . I think it is interesting that it came from the Etherzone , in spite of the fact there are .... Shall we say , writers with dubious credential's ? FReegardless, Assuming it is true it should be simple enough to prove . I for 1 have a challenge with it , considering all known accounts to me President Bush is a man of integrity . I also agree with the lady above .

Innuendo. Just like that article you published from THE DAILY TEXAN, written by a 21-year old liberal at the University of Texas.

You're really draggin' your ass tryin' to tie Bush to a bankrupt company.

How did Bush's connections help Enron, exactly?

[kempo]

If the L A Times published this, they wasted alot of ink and paper.

How George Bush Jr. Got Layed

This idiot can't even spell.

[grunt]

boohoo...pick a party,pick a politician.

[M. Peach]

Does anyone remember Enron's commericial that has a computer-like generated voice that goes, "Why- Why - Why" I understand Lay's net worth went from $287 million from six months ago to a little over a million now -

How prophetic was his commerical.....

[Ridin' Shotgun]

Even though it has strong ties to the Republican Party, Enron also did remarkably well during the Clinton years.

Just another one of those bipartisan deals. Nothing to see here little doggies, move along little doggies. Milking time.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

And to ensure Enron's unconscionable profit, he should have added.

Enron went bankrupt, so how exactly did Bush make them rich?

[Quicksilver]

Bill Clinton's connections to Enron are far more interesting.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

Thanks for the post.

Bookmarked.

There's not a single thing in that article that supports even a whiff of corruption of Bush wrt Enron. Maybe I've missed something. Can you select a passage or two that shows anything close to a quid pro quo by Bush for the Enron donations?

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

[Osinski]

excerpts from THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER 15, DECEMBER, 2001 (#3)

"We suspect that Enron's involvement with other companies in the derivative business will lead to some startling surprises. Calpine is the first candidate. It seems the power they sold to Enron in the third quarter of 2001 for $119.13 was averaging $84.00 across the sale spectrum. Calpine's sale of power to other customers averaged $75.48 per megawatt hour. Management has no answer for the discrepancy, which cost Enron 58% more than Calpine's other customers and caused a windfall increase to Calpine's profits of 56% in the third quarter of 2001. It could be this was a sweetheart deal for something that is not yet apparent. We certainly wouldn't buy Calpine's stock. It is currently $21.37 per share. The question is, is there a scandal here and will the stock trade lower? We think so. Parallel information has APS, Arizona Public Service, parent of Pinnacle West Capital, declaring it could lose up to $15 million as a result of the bankruptcy of Enron."

[Cold Heat]

So what is the Quid pro quo? (1). Bankruptcy (2).Congessional Investigation (3).future indictments and Jail.............. JeeWhiz, with friends like Bush, who needs enemies! Another fricken hit piece!
