The Liar In Thief responds to the Enron question about his #1 supporter and best buddy for 12+ years:

QUESTION: When was the last time you talked to either Mr. Lay or any other Enron official about anything and did the discussions involve the financial problems of Enron?

BUSH:I have never discussed with Mr. Lay the financial problems of the company. The last time that I saw Mr. Lay was at my mother's fundraising event for literacy in Houston. That would have been last spring.

I do know that Mr. Lay came to the White House early in my administration, along with I think 20 other business leaders, to discuss the state of the economy. It was just kind of a general discussion. I have not met with him personally.

QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)

BUSH:Well, first of all, Ken Lay is a supporter, and I got to know Ken Lay when he was the head of what they call the Governor's Business Council in Texas.

He was a supporter of Ann Richards in my run in 1994, and she had named him the head of the Governor's Business Council, and I decided to leave him in place just for the sake of continuity. And that's when I first got to know Ken and worked with Ken, and he supported my candidacy.

But what anybody's going to find is that this administration will fully investigate issues, such as the Enron bankruptcy, to make sure we can learn from the past and make sure that workers at protected.

* After this, the cover-up began, then the Iraq War talk. Enron scandal stories quietly moved to the back pages then disappeared. The Iraq diversion worked. Not a single Enron employee has talked or spent a day in prison. Bush is not pushing them. Wonder why?
