Mark, read this. <Enron has already contributed nearly $173,000 to candidates and parties so far this year, almost 90 percent to Republicans. Since the 1989-90 election cycle, Enron has made nearly $5.8 million in campaign contributions, 73 percent to Republicans.> opensecrets.org opensecrets.org Tells a somewhat different story. Post your source if you don't mind. I'd like to read it. I'm interested in this story, as it continues to unfold.

Exactly. Aside from the usual melo-dramatic sound bites, buzz words, and posturing from the politicians? What we'll see is a giant butt covering contest between the players from Enron, Arthur Anderson AND the considerable number of politicos who were in bed with Enron. A few Enron execs may have to give back some of their bonus', and at most, sent to the standard minimum security prison (aka "tennis ranches") that the Watergate players who surrounded Nixon went to. Then IMHO, it'll be back to biz as usual on WS and in D.C.. OK, so maybe a few cream pies get tossed back and forth to get the TV ratings up.<g> Isopatch
