Bush
and Poppy Caught on 1997 Enron Tape; Skits Make Fun of Accounting Scams
BuzzFlash Note: Appearances by then-Governor George W. Bush and George H. W. Bush in this video, and Poppy's comments about former Enron President Rich Kinder's assistance putting Junior into the Governor's office, prove how close George W. Bush was to Enron. More importantly, this video is one more piece of evidence that the American people were lied to when Bush was first questioned about his relationship with Ken Lay and Enron. BuzzFlash wonders if the mainstream media will ask him about it? We doubt it.

Feds Want To See Enron Videotape
President Bush Also Takes Part In Skit
HOUSTON -- Skits and jokes by a few former Enron Corp. executives at a party six years ago were funny then, but now border on bad taste in light of the events of the past year.
A videotape of a January 1997 going-away party for former Enron President Rich Kinder features nearly half an hour of absurd skits, songs and testimonials by company executives and prominent Houstonians, the Houston Chronicle reported in its Monday editions.
The collection is all meant in good fun, but some of the comments are ironic in the current climate of corporate scandal.

President George W. Bush, who then was governor of Texas, also took part in the skit, as did his father.
At the party, the younger Bush pleaded with Kinder: "Don't leave Texas. You're too good a man."
The governor's father also offered a send-off to Kinder, thanking him for helping his son reach the governor's mansion.
"You have been fantastic to the Bush family," the elder Bush said. "I don't think anybody did more than you did to support George."
