You can't possibly believe that the $500K bought nothing but the "Boy? nickname can you? Yes. And what's more you can't point to a single thing and say that's what it bought. It bought the hard line AGAINST California when the Enron fraud came to light. Hows that for a SINGLE THING. White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan also denied that Enron influenced Bush's decision Tuesday to continue for only another two weeks Clinton administration orders to the company and other power providers to continue supplying electricity to California's near bankrupt utilities. "The president believes this is an issue that was created by this rather unique legislation in California and that by providing the two weeks, it will enable California to take the steps that it needs to do to begin to resolve this situation," she said. Overall, Enron gave $2.3 million to federal candidates and the political parties during the 2000 election, more than double its $1.1 million in 1998 and more than any other energy company, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a non-partisan research group that studies campaign finance. Almost three-fourths of the company's donations went to Republicans.
