Bush/Enron Party Tape! (MSNBC clip from 12/2002)

[htuttle]

I was rummaging around Davy Jones locker, and look what I found!

It's a story from 12/2002 by Lester Holt about a 1997 going away party Enron held for 'a departing Enron president'. Enron employees and several Bush family members put together a video tape for the party.

One good clip is Poppy Bush saying, "You have been fantastic to the Bush family. I don't think anybody did more than you did to support George..."

Other highlights include Enron accounting personnel joking about 'Hypothetical Future Value' accounting.

BTW, Lester notes that George W. Bush was also at the party. :)

on edit:

This 'departing former Enron President' -- wouldn't that have been Ken Lay? I notice that Lester doesn't say the person's name, but Skilling started in 1997, and didn't Skilling take over President/CEO after Ken Lay? Listening to Poppy, it sure SOUNDS like he's talking about Ken Lay...
