OREGON CITY, Ore. - Democratic Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) compared President Bush (news - web sites) to former Enron Corp. chairman Kenneth Lay on Tuesday and predicted Bush "is going to be fired" by voters for the way he has run the country.


Lay, a Bush friend and campaign contributor, resigned under pressure after the giant energy company's collapse and has pleaded innocent to charges of fraud, conspiracy and false statements to banks


The Democrats' vice presidential candidate assailed the potential cost of Bush policies in a second term and said of the president: "I think he believes that he's Ken Lay and America is his Enron. The truth of the matter is that what happens when a CEO runs a company the way that George Bush (news - web sites) has run America, they get fired.

The North Carolina senator, running mate to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites), made his remarks while accepting the endorsements of more than 30 chief executive officers of outdoor equipment companies, including Patagonia, Columbia and Cascade Designs, before a town hall meeting in a suburb of Portland.


Interesting playground equipment maufacturers are supporting the 'trial lawyer', you'd think they'd be as concerned about lawsuits
as anyone. :-)

7. I've heard that Patagonia's

founder is very liberal. Not sure about the rest of them, but if Bush continues his environmental policy, there won't be any more outdoors for those people to sell gear for.
