Would you please just ignore me like the other fascist here, jlallen, does. Just because a fascist says he's a Republican, that doesn't mean it's true. Now be a good little fascist and go harass someone else. Thank you.

I know you'll ignore these because they contain facts that might disagree with your opinions, but others might read and enjoy them. Here are three examples of many reports of Lay's and W's friendship. They were not exactly "strangers" as you implied. businessweek.com Enron Chairman Ken Lay is a personal friend and political patron of the Bushes. He has helped raise more money for their campaigns than any other benefactor, and he has lent them talented Enron executives for policy projects like education reform. How close are the Bushes and Lay? When Houston's new baseball park -- dubbed Enron Field -- opened in 2000, Lay's guests included both George Bushes. abcnews.go.com "Enron was the number one career patron for George W. Bush," said center director Charles Lewis. "There was no company in America closer to George W. Bush than Enron." Lewis says the company's goal in backing Bush and other politicians was to encourage further deregulation of the energy industry. guardian.co.uk How close was Enron to the Bush administration? Mr Lay is an old Texas friend of the president, and Enron executives contributed more than $500,000 to Mr Bush's various campaigns.
