[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] And what I wrote Omega, I'll write it again since you didn't read it, was this: [QUOTE]Mr. Bush...and his cohorts helped deregulate the industry[/QUOTE]So I'm not sure what orifice on your body you pulld this from, [QUOTE]Oh, so Bush MADE Enron colapse, now. That's a new one.[/QUOTE]but I can guess. Accoding to a New York Times article: [QUOTE]Mr. Lay and other Enron officials interviewed several candidates to fill vacancies on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which regulates Enron's main markets. Mr. Bush selected two people for the panel who were favored by Enron and some other energy companies.[/QUOTE]June 3, 2001 [URL=http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/03/politics/03DISC.html]Bush Advisers on Energy Report Ties to Industry[/URL] [URL=http://www.michaelmoore.com/2002_0129.html]Michael Moore[/URL] write this: [QUOTE] Enron and Kenny Boy bought your [Mr. Bush] silence and the silence of your cabinet members. You yourself didn't have to actually raid the 401(k) accounts of those poor people in Houston (many of whom probably voted for you every time your name was on a ballot). All you had to do was remain silent, change the government regulations that let them get away with it, and install their hand-picked cronies to sit on the "oversight" boards which were supposed to be keeping an eye on them. --- The saddest part of this whole affair was the day the scandal was revealed -- and you denied that you even knew your good friend, Kenneth Lay. "Ken who?" you said. Oh, he's just some businessman from Texas. "Heck, he backed my opponent for governor, Ann Richards!" was your way of trying to deflect the truth that was hitting you like a Mack truck. You knew that he, in fact, endorsed YOU and gave you THREE times the money Ann Richards ever saw from him. I hardly ever talk to the guy, you said. You were like Peter outside the walls of Herod after they grabbed J.C. from the Garden of Gethsemane. Three times he denied he knew Jesus, and three times the cock crowed. But Peter, unlike you, felt shame and wept, and then ran away.[/QUOTE]This from the man who was "going to restore dignity to the White House, the people's house." [/QB][/QUOTE]
