Bilmon is Back

Bilmon is back with a very long post on Kenny Boy Lay, his long term relationship with Karl (the slime) Rove, the FERC and the California energy crisis and so on. He asks a very good question(s) up front:

I've been reading some of the mainstream media coverage of the indictment of Enron's "Kenny Boy" Lay this week, and as usual, I'm struck not just by the cluelessness of much of it, but also the vast cynicism, which in this case takes the form of a general belief that nobody really cares about the Enron scandal any more - or should.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised - the SCLM being what it is. But it still seems remarkable to me that the most outrageous corporate scandal in modern memory (and the template, in a sense, for all the ones that followed) can so easily be dismissed as old news.

Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't the fact that several of Enron's unindicted co-conspirators - like the Vice President of the United States and the head of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission - are still on the public payroll, and apparently still involved in the cover up, count for something?

Read it when you have some time and try to answer the questions.
