Enron Tapes

Most of you probably read Tom Tomorrow so I assume you've seen this post about Enron traders on tape pretty much spelling out the connections between energy deregulation and corporate fleecing of consumers and the policies of the current administration. I'd cut out some of the juicy quotes but they're all there on This Modern World. TT's post suggests that Kerry has an easy issue to capitalize on here. He won't. I would also point out that a Kerry administration is every bit as likely to end up maintaining policies that are this friendly to corporate piracy but I don't want to discourage anyone from voting to oust Bush this fall. We could really use that marginal reduction in all out assholery that President Kerry is nearly certain to furnish for us.
