The *REAL* Irony was that I blamed Clinton for Enron's collapse before this article was posted yesterday in a political survey by phone.

How's that for Freeping the World!?

What happens to EVERYONE who ever dealt with the clinton administration!!!!!! Does anyone doubt that somewhere along the way clinton enriched himself personally each time he 'helped' someone.

[spycatcher]

Sadly the liberal online polls only have 3 choices of who's to blame. The bias is built right into the question!

1 - Enron
2 - Andersen
3 - Bush

Bump/Ping!

Let's see...California couldn't pay, India Wouldn't pay...and the management was funneling money to offshore shell corps. Is it any wonder Enron crashed?

Now I know why Imus is still "wondering" (with Jeff Greenfield this morning) if Bush was drinking when he passed out the other day.

To his credit, Greenfield isn't playing along with Imus . Dems were saying that the "pretzel incident" was to distract the media from Bush's involvement with Enron. Well, Imus isn't protecting Bush, for sure, even though he is making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Four Hundred Billion Dollars in the squandered-via-the-exim-"bank" confiscated wealth of America's [Of the world's, that is] most creative, innovative and productive citizens already involves the hefty kick-back of probably Sixty-Five Billions of Dollars [Additional to the other Hundreds of Billions stolen by them between 1993 and 2001] to the Rotten-KKKli'toons and to the criminal gang AKA the "Democratic" potty, for which that mongrel pair of scumbag bastards was, for a time, permitted to front.

Pratap Chatterjee should get some credit for reporting this back in 1995. In Political Influence Wins Contracts For Gas Company, he wrote:

Enron, the world's largest natural gas company, uses powerful connections to bid for contracts that observers complain are over-priced...

The 10-year-old company which racked up nine billion dollars in sales last year, shot into the news recently when a state government in India threatened to cancel a 2.8-billion-dollar deal to build a power plant near Bombay....

In Aug. 1993, McLarty arranged an invitation for Lay to play golf with Clinton in Vail, Colorado. This date irritated Oscar White, chief executive of Coastal, another natural gas company that had helped the Clinton election campaign raise funding....

These connections to the Democratic administration have helped Enron considerably, says Ken Silverstein, who publishes Counterpunch, a fortnightly newsletter here.

Good find

"The memo said the Kyoto treaty - later signed by Mr. Clinton and leaders of 166 other countries,

I wondered on another Enron thread why Clinton shoved that Kyoto Treaty down our throats with his midnight signings right before he left office

I agree .. this is smelling really bad ... maybe other midnight signatures should be looked into .. along with all his over seas trips ...

Another thing .. I can't help but think of .. is what Dick Morris said once about Raiddy (sp?) .. how the Raiddy case would open all alot of things ..

Oh wow .. so much info to process .. my brain is starting to get fried .. lol

[Mo1]

Great memory!! Yes, he went to India to raise money for earthquake victims....yeah, right!!!

LOL .. thanks .. it's the little things I remember .. the big stuff I leave to the Great Minds here at FreeRepublic

But yes .. there was that big meeting he had here with the people of India promising all that money .. like he was still President and then he headed over there for more talks

I also couldn't help notice .. haven't heard to much from Ole Billy Boy lately ... hmmmmmmm could he being laying low cause it's about to hit the fan maybe????

[Ditter]

I went over to DU last night (yeah I know, its horrible, but someone has to do it) Those guys are still salivating about Bush going down with Enron. They should get out more. There was someone over there named web rattler that they decided was a freeper & he got kicked off last night. He was trying to tell them to pay attention to Lanny Davis. Lanny is saying Enron is going to kick dems in the butt.

Threads like this, that turn into research marathons, are one of the main reasons I love this place.

You raised a good question. I did a small search and got these results

Search engine: Dogpile Newscrawler found 0 results. The query sent was bill clinton.

Maybe this is revenge from Buddy's pals.
