VValdo writes "Department heads resigning, millions of dollars wasted, documents shredded, the government investigating. No, it's not Enron-- as previously reported, the $95 million contract with Oracle is blowing into a full-fledged scandal in California, according to today's LA Times, The article begins, "California Highway Patrol officers moved in Thursday to halt shredding at the state's information technology department, and Gov.

go screw yourself, cock sucker moderator
his role in the energy crisis
Yeah, being the governor at a time when Bush gets elected and allows the energy companies to manipulate the supplies and drive up prices. You think it is just a coincidence that energy prices spiked immediately after Bush is elected?
Remember, the same thing happened in the midwest with gas prices - until the Senate started looking into it. SUDDENLY gas prices plunged.
Same thing with California's energy crisis - prices plunged IMMEDIATELY after Enron went bankrupt.
Is there any who is so naive that they don't know that the Democrats are historically the party of corruption? Heck, just look at the historical rigging of elections. Even if you happen to like their policies, an honest person has to admit the PARTY itself is completely corrupt. Just look at Daschle. Is their no lie that man won't tell?
The Republicans are the party of Watergate and Iran/Contra. Serious crimes. Not to mention massive deficits from tax breaks for the rich.
After investigating Democrats for the last 8 years, the worst they came up with was a blow job!!
Daschle a liar? Can you come up with even ONE example of Daschle lying?
And talk about rigging elections - this Republican president LOST THE ELECTION!
So give us a break, please.
I love this "didn't bail them out at the end." It's like they had to sit around and think up something that the Bush people DIDN'T do for Enron, so they could use that. They found ONE THING that the Bush people didn't do for them - with all the press in the country talking about Enron's criminal activities the Bush people didn't bail them out. Wow.
Jeeze, dude, don't you read the papers? The Bush people did EVERYTHING Enron wanted. Got rid of the laws, got rid of the oversight, gave them government contracts, took their money. How about the Army Secretary, who stole over 100 million, and then gave Army contracts to Enron, and he is STILL Army Secretary!
While Enron was running up energy prices in California by shutting off the supply of natural gas, the Bush administration FIRED the head of the federal energy regulation commission and put in a guy that the head of Enron (Ken Lay) told them to put in. Then Bush's new FERC head refused to look into what was going on in California. Even after California came up with internal Enron documents dicsussion their plans!
What about Bush firing the head of the Securities and Exchange commission for trying to look into Enron, and putting in a guy who was an Enron Lobbyist instead?!!
