"so how exactly did Bush make them rich?"

I Didn't say he made them rich. The article might suggest that :-)

But since you bring it up, where DID those Billions go?

Quite so. The article merely "suggests" that there must be some big scandal involving the Bushes and Enron. To buy this smear job, it helps to believe that free markets don't work and that price controls do. No thanks.

Seriously, I was referring to the article, not what you said under it.

As for Enron, the board of directors and senior corporate officers are in a ton of hot water. They were involved in some really questionable backdoor deals that they didn't tell their stockholders about. Those deals wound up losing a hell of a lot of money (obviously; they're bankrupt now). They were also cooking the books to make Enron's financial picture look better than it really was. The word around the campfire right now is that the top guys in the company sold off all their stock to get some cash before it became public that Enron was crashing and burning. They're now being sued by their stockholders for $25 billion.
