There were claims that he "tried" to invest in a soft-core porn movie in the early 70s (that would have made him quite young at the time).



Phil has been credited with passing the legislation that made the sub-prime bubble possible. Not only that, he also authored and got inserted in the middle of the night the legislation that made Enron possible and spawned the whole derivatives market that threatens to sink our economy.

Enron was grateful enough that his wife was invited on the board.


Nonsense. His wife was already on the board, and there was no evidence of any wrongdoing.

And yes, he has been credited with all kinds of crap he isn't responsible for, just like about every other Republican. It is, after all, the liberal Democrat way.
