Actually, I didn’t mean at that level of detail. I don’t think Bush
particularly cares at the trouble. (I mean, I’m sure he’d rather that

the associated risks because it’s part of his clan’s new world order scheme

multi-million dollar lecture tour, I suspect he’ll be taken care of by those he
has enriched.
As an aside, it just occurred to me that it would be wise for him to push for
expedited criminal trials of Enron management and others in similar boats to get
their trial done before he’s out of office so that he can promptly pardon them
-- lining his nest. There would certainly be public outcry, but what could
anyone do? I guess such an act might hinder their longer-term objectives too
much, but if he were more of a maverick...
