New York, July 20(ANI):

Like all good friends, US President George Bush who sees himself more as a Texan Cowboy first, and his Texan buddy Kenneth Lay, the former chief of the Enron Corp. share the same attorney when dealing with matters of the court.

According to the New York Daily News, Lay has retained Washington criminal lawyer Jim Sharp for a case. Sharp was the same attorney who represented President Bush last month in a case related to White House's leak of a CIA agent's name to a right-wing columnist named Robert Novak.

1. Gee,

I guess a "trial lawyer" comes in handy once in a while...

[Bozita]

2. He's a TRIAL LAWYER -- Bush says they're EVIL -- Ain't hypocracy great?

flip-flop, flip-flop, flip

8. I've often wondered about Bush and his

rhetoric about bashing lawyers. Why?

Because George W. Bush wanted to become a lawyer at one time but was REJECTED. Indeed.

George W. Bush graduated from Yale University with a low C average and was subsequently REJECTED when applying to the University of Texas, School of Law. A GPA/cum average of C and his LSAT score didn't impress Texas at that time! I think Georgie just cannot let go and retains bitterness and lotsa inner angst about this personal rejection . . . <evil grin> . . .

Nothing like talking out of both sides of the mouth, huh? That's George!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

P.S. note that all his prep school and college admissions were done through legacy admissions policies . . . he's not the brightest bulb on the planet!!

9. love to see his LSAT score ... probably classified

[leesa]

12. Nah. It's for his rich buddies. They've paid him to do this because of

class-action suits against uber-rich corporations who are polluting and otherwise harming people and their country/planet

3. I looked on the NY site and could not readily see the info

about the lawyer - but it has to be there.

Any of you New Yorkers out there remember it??

4. Why Not they are Buddies!!!

Kenny has no fears while Bush is in the Whitehouse

[GHOSTDANCER]

13. BFF (BEST FRIENDS FOREVER)

Well untill the whole Enron Scam didn't work out.

[bindlewurdle]

15. Actually, he might want Bush to lose.

Then he gets pardoned 4 years earlier, right? (snark)

[Thor_MN]

20. He can't be pardoned before he is convicted can he?

Could we simply make sure that the trial doesn't end before * is kicked out of the oval office? Or can the gravity challenged moron give him a get out off jail free card?

[Khephra]

5. Yep

It was posted before.

[teryang]

6. I'd say there's a potential conflict of interest

Not on these two cases but between the two clients ultimate interests. I guess Sharp will be used as an intermediary to keep Lay's stories straight.

The fact that Sharp has a direct confidential line to the white house won't be lost on US attorney's dealing with Mr. Lay.

14. Cool analysis.

I hope the Dems point this out. At the very least it is a campaign issue.

[Dover]

7. LOL! I'll bet they both use Andersen as an accountant!

Maybe they should both share the same jail cell too!

19. Jail hell, I wanna see the man at the Hague explaining his war crimes

[Mokito]

10. Hey, They share planes...why not lawyers?

[Ernesto]

11. KICK!

[Rex]

16. ANN RICHARDS!

There's a connection between Ken Lay and Al Quada, honest. :crazy:

[Bandit]

17. The funniest thing is this lawyer gives all political donations to the

Democrats I guess he knows who is on the side of true law and order.

[Catfight]

18. Someone repost georgie's little birthday card to little lay.
