"Aides to President Bush assert that since no one
in the administration seems to have tried to
rescue Enron, Enron's campaign money cannot
be an issue. That is nonsense. In the last
election cycle, Enron was one of the
nation's biggest donors. The company and
its executives doled out $2.4 million,
more than two-thirds of it in
unregulated soft money. What
the administration fails to
see is that, as Representative
Christopher Shays points
out, campaign money is given to
obtain two things,
influence and access. Enron clearly got
what it paid for. Its
executives were able to get through on the phone to
virtually everyone they wanted."
