Precisely: <<I'm interested in the tale of how he intervened to help major campaign contributor SRV out with the Texas Funeral Commission (getting the regulator fired SRV didn't like... and putting in their favorite hand puppets), and how that situation may be analagous to his actions in the Enron scandal... putting Ken Lay's hand puppets in at the FERC. >> Thanks again, Buddy... BTW: Are you or anyone else finding the easy adoption into the general U.S. lexicon of terms such as "crony capitalism' to fall very short of the criminal action described? 'Corporate governance' is another one being used in every reference by CNBS these days to describe the likes of TYC and ENE and WCOM execs, the Arthur Andersens and top Bush Admin officials and the prez and VP themselves .... etc.... bia
