BTW, if you look at when most of the acts Lay was convicted of occurred, they happened before Bush took office.

In other words, they were getting away with it under a democrat administration. The were prosecuted under a republican one.



Technically true but gives the false impression that Bush is somehow better than Clinton. Clinton vetoed legislation that helped Enron & other companies fuck America over. (Republicans with lots of help from Dems were able to override Clinton's veto) Enron/Lay greatly favored Republicans, particularly Bush, when buying influence with campaign contributions. Nothing to give this current President a pat on the back for IMHO.

Fair play!
