Not a good film but a true story and a big reminder to America of the kind of people who put GW Bush in the White House. Or at least some of them. The Houston brand. What they didnt get into was the venality of the trading frauds perped on US consumers during the big phony energy crisis. You could make another movie just about that. Dennehy said there are many other Enrons out there. There were in fact many other Enrons right in the Houston energy group. And Lay didn't just raise $100,000 for Bush, that's peanuts. he raised millions, and more.

Hi Mephisto, I've got a buddy over on the "California Energy Crisis" thread who said he turned "The Crooked E" into a Superbowl type party with a bunch of neighbors over for the show. So, there was some viewership. :) My favorite part of the film was Brian Dennehy's(sp?) drunken soliloquy. It reminded me of SI's blowhards. Including myself. CBS has been doing things lately that make me happy. This film, and a couple of weeks ago they broke the corporate media whore silence on the topics covered in John MacArthur's "The Second Front" wherein CBS 60 Minutes started to lift the veil on the propaganda wars that Bush I and Bush II are waging on the American public. -Ray
