You only care about people when you can use them. I expect to see more exculpatory evidence as we go along but this is nice to know. By ELISABETH BUMILLER ASHINGTON, Jan. 10 — The White House disclosed today that Kenneth L. Lay, the chairman of the Enron Corporation (news/quote) and one of President Bush's biggest political contributors, telephoned two cabinet officers last fall, and one of them said Mr. Lay had sought government help with its dire financial condition. Both said they declined to offer government aid.

Enron's Lay Called Greenspan, too ... Guess they'll have to include him in the demo witch hunt. biz.yahoo.com Imagine what the kneejerk dems would say if the administration had helped Enron. Who's the party of investigations, now? BTW, Corzine (NJ) and Boxer (CA) have just introduced legislation limiting people's civil right to invest more than 20% of their portfolio in their employer's stock. Imagine all those millions of people throughout our history who got wealthy off their employer's stock, who would not have done so under Boxer/Corzine. Imagine all those in the future who won't have that incentive. Limiting the American dream and opportunity -- just to hold power and look good politically in the short term.
