Bush just barely even hardly knew Ken Lay, or Jeff Gannon
Edited on Thu May-25-06 10:54 AM by Philosoraptor
"I got to know Ken Lay when he was the head of the—what they call the Governor's Business Council in Texas. He was a supporter of Ann Richards in my run in 1994 . And she had named him the head of the Governor's Business Council. And I decided to leave him in place, just for the sake of continuity. And that's when I first got to know Ken. …"

—President George W. Bush, answering reporters' questions in the Oval Office Jan. 10.

"When Governor Bush—now President Bush—decided to run for the governor's spot, a little difficult situation—I 'd worked very closely with Ann Richards also, the four years she was governor. But I was very close to George W. and had a lot of respect for him, had watched him over the years, particularly with reference to dealing with his father when his father was in the White House and some of the things he did to work for his father, and so did support him."

—Interview with Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay for Frontline's 2001 documentary, "Blackout: What Caused the Power Crisis in California? And Who's Profiting?"

2. Bush is so stupied. I sure hope they find Kennie Boy
and Jeffery guilty on all accounts. When will they tell the penality, if they are found guilty. I hope the MSM will ask Bush more questions about these two crooks.

3. Yeaaaahhh, and that's why he let you use his private plane
during your campaign, huh? Kenny Boy offers his plane to ANYBODY who want's it, right?

My diagnosis of Shrub!

Pathological liar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A pathological liar is someone who often embellishes his or her stories in a way that he or she believes will impress people. Some think a pathological liar is different from a normal liar in that a pathological liar believes the lie he or she is telling to be true—at least in public—and is "playing" the role. It is not clear, however, that this is the case, and others hold that pathological liars know precisely what they are doing. Making up stories and at the same time believing them is known as confabulation. The term "pathological liar" is not an official clinical diagnosis however most psychiatrists agree that pathological lying is often the result of a mental disorder or low self-esteem.

4. Remember the Enron tapes?
On one of those tapes it seems like I remember a fellow crook saying that Lay was going to be the next energy chief. Something to that effect.
