Reply #3: On the Dianne Rehm show he admitted that Enron paid him to tell positive [View All]

stories about them, and that he'd do it again because he had another daughter he needed to put through college.

Ask him why we should believe anything he says if he's admitting that his opinion is for sale.

He'll probably say that he gets paid, but not to tell lies.

But I'd follow up with questions like, "why would they pay you to tell the truth -- wouldn't you be expected to do that for free?" And don't let him joke that maybe that's the reason they went bankrupt, because it actually seems like the reason they were able to rip off their investors.

Ask him why he didn't disclose his fiduciary relationship BEFORE he promoted Enron.

Ask him he feels guilty for propping up a company in a way which enabled enron insiders to sell worthless shares to the public for lots of money.

Make a joke that maybe you'll start believeing him when all his kids and grand children finally graduate from college. Tell him he should write a column about that so we'll know when it happens.
