>It is official. Enron's financial collapse is the largest bankruptcy
>in American history ["Enron files for bankruptcy, sues Dynegy," Dec.
>3]. The company's failure has cost 21,000 people their jobs and many
>their pensions. Top Enron executives have fled the country after
>taking huge bonuses during the last year.
>
>Over the last several years, Enron and its president and founder,
>Kenneth Lay, have been the single largest contributor to the
>gubernatorial and presidential campaigns of George W. Bush. Enron
>executives enjoyed unfettered access to the highest levels of the
>administration, and Mr. Lay was the only individual to have a private
>meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney to offer advice as the
>administration secretly crafted its energy policy.
>
>My question is: Where is the outrage? Why aren't conservatives like
>Bill Bennett huffing and puffing all over Fox News about the
>corruption at the highest levels of the administration? Why aren't
>there congressional investigations issuing subpoenas to the
>administration demanding to know details about the Bush-Lay
>relationship?
>
>Why hasn't Gail Sheehy written a 10,000-word psycho-babble expose for
>Vanity Fair about Bush's deep personality flaws and why he is drawn
>to consort with criminals? Why isn't a partisan special prosecutor
>rummaging through Mrs. Bush's underwear drawer looking for evidence
>of the Bush-Enron relationship? Why hasn't the press written dozens
>of above-the-fold stories decrying Mr. Bush as a "serial liar"?
>
>Where are the hundreds of FBI agents descending upon Texas talking to
>every kook with an ax to grind against Bush and his staff? Where are
>the special reports on CNN with animated computerized logos:
>"American Corruption: Bush and Enron"?
>
>A few short years ago, we were told that we needed to know all of the
>details that could possibly be found about a failed land deal 18
>years ago that cost the Clintons $20,000. It was called Whitewater.
>After a $50,000,000 investigation, nothing was found against the
>Clintons. No indictments, no criminality, no civil liability.
>Nothing. Compared to the Enron-Bush debacle, Whitewater is a walk in
>the park.
>
>It is an absolute outrage that the pit bulls who investigated every
>aspect of Whitewater have been absolutely silent on the Bush-Enron
>connection.
