Folk wisdom says we should judge a man by the company he keeps. When this wisdom is applied to a U.S. president it means we should judge the president by the people he appoints to his administration.

Let us look at what has been published about a few of the more obviously shady characters in Pres. George W. Bush??s administration.

There is Ken Lay, Enron??s chairman and longtime friend of George W. Bush, who made Enron into Bush??s largest campaign contributor. His resulting influence helped to shape public policy in Enron??s favor.

Next, is the leading culprit, George W. Bush, who rewarded Enron??s colossally large campaign support when he refused to intervene when Enron??s profiteering caused a huge energy crisis in California.

The next picture on the post office wall should be Vice Pres. Dick Cheney. When he headed Bush??s Energy Task Force, he enabled Ken Lay and other Enron executives to have important influence on forming U.S. energy policy.

Other post-office-wall pictures include:

Ralph Reed, currently a candidate for the Republican nomination for Georgia??s lieutenant governor was a Republican strategist and head of the Christian Coalition. He was hired by Enron, in 1997, for $10,000 a month, on the recommendation of Karl Rove, then Bush??s political advisor. The contract was seen as a way to keep Reed loyal to Bush, but far enough away from Bush??s retainers so he would not disrupt the campaign??s slogan of ??compassionate conservatism?.

(Bush??s true compassion, judged by his actions, is for his base, which, by his own admission, consists of billionaires. His conservatism consists of ensuring his base conserves it billions, while working American??s remain loaded with taxes.)

John Ashcroft, former U.S. attorney general, rescued himself from the U.S. Dept. of Justice investigation of Enron, after he admitted Enron had given nearly $61,000 to his 2000 A.D. campaign for a U.S. Senate seat from Missouri. (He lost that election.)

Karl Rove, Bush??s chief of staff, was Bush??s chief political advisor and a major Enron shareholder, when he met with Ken Lay to talk about Enron??s problems with U.S. regulators.

Thomas White, secretary of the army, a 10-year Enron executive, was involved in market manipulations and price-gouging. He sold $12 million worth of Enron stock, after Bush appointed him. White resigned in 2002 A.D., after repeated calls were made by non-profit ??watch dog? organizations for him to do so.

Phil Gramm, a U.S. senator from Texas, shepherded legislation through to enactment that shielded Enron from government oversight. He later thought it best not to seek re-election in 2002 A.D.

Wendy Gramm, Sen. Gramm??s wife and former chairwoman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, got a measure enacted that exempted Enron from U.S. oversight. She later became an Enron director and served on the company??s audit committee.

Marc Racicot, former Montana governor, served as Enron??s Washington, D.C., lobbyist. He dropped his clients after he was named Republican National Committee chairman.

Robert Zoellick, former U.S. trade representative, served on Enron??s advisory council. He provided important access for Enron officials. In February, 2005, Zoellick was promoted to be U.S. deputy secretary of state.

Spencer Abraham was appointed U.S. secretary of energy, by Bush, who then called Ken Lay to talk about Enron??s financial difficulties and their effect on energy markets. When he became a senator, Abraham got Enron contributions.

Patrick H. Wood III was appointed, by Bush, to be chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Wood was the choice of Ken Lay to replace Curtis Herbert Jr, who was forced out of that office by Pres. Bush, after Herbert disagreed with Lay about regulatory policies.

Alberto Gonzalez was a White House counsel who worked at Vinson & Elkins, the law company, in Houston, Texas, which represented Enron. He approved Enron??s questionable accounting schemes. Pres. Bush has since appointed Gonzalez to be U.S. attorney general.

Don Evans was Pres. Bush??s main campaign fund raiser. He was later appointed, by Bush, to be U.S. Secretary of Commerce. It was Evans who gathered in Lay??s campaign contributions and took Lay??s phone call, in October, 2001.


they may not all be from texas, but why is it ok for this much corruption to be in government, and how do you people support shit like this??

Am glad to see that he's down to 32% ratings though... wonder how long it's gonna take to get into the 20's... my guess is 1 month and he's either at 25% or there is another 'terrorist attack'...
