Future Headline: "Bush Denies Ever Knowing The Indicted Karl Rove"
Bush's pattern is to deny even knowing people once they get indicted, first Ken Lay and now Jack Abramhoff. Thus, when Karl gets indicted Bush will deny even knowing him. Bush will claim that Rove worked mostly for the Democrats.

2. It would be almost as big as the Ken Lay lie- 17 year relationship to none

not only did Ken Lay, Linda Lay and Jeffrey Skilling each donate $100,000 to George W's inaugural fund, but, according to Arianna Huffington, Enron provided the corporate jet that flew his parents in for the show. Now that's service.

most of the Washington press corps has been content to leave alone the much larger story—the apparent seventeen-year connection between the Bush dynasty and Enron.

when George W. became governor of Texas, Lay asked him to receive visiting dignitaries from places Enron hoped to do business with, and by the time Bush got to the White House, Enron was his biggest contributor. Former Enron officials, advisers and consultants wound up getting several dozen positions in the new Administration, including White House economic adviser, Secretary of the Army and US Trade Representative. These were important to Enron on issues ranging from energy policy to its ambition to open up foreign markets by bringing exports of energy and water services under the WTO trade framework.
