Looks like it's normal bi-partisan white collar crime to me. Enron contributed to the political coffers of 259 members of Congress, in both the Republican and Democratic parties, and 15 Bush administration officials were shareholders, according to watchdog groups. Between 1989 and 2001, 71 senators and 188 House members received total contributions of $1.1 million, according to a report by The Center for Responsive Politics. The money was split 61 percent to Republicans and almost 39 percent to Democrats, with one independent, Sen. Jim Jeffords, I-Vt., also accepting contributions. Eight out of the top 10 senators who received contributions were Republicans while six out of the top 10 in the House were Democrats. Congressional members from Texas, where Enron (ENE) is headquartered, were the biggest beneficiaries. custom.marketwatch.com{EE10242D-80DB-4558-96E1-31E4E00ACB1D}&destination=&symb=ene DOC
