Palast has figured out the game in CALIFORNIA - PLEASE READ AND HELP
http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=283&row=0


Now, thirty-four pages of internal Enron memoranda have just come through this reporter's fax machine tell all about the tryst between Maria's husband and the corporate con men.  It turns out that Schwarzenegger knowingly joined the hush-hush encounter as part of a campaign to sabotage a Davis-Bustamante plan to make Enron and other power pirates then ravaging California pay back the $9 billion in illicit profits they carried off.


Here's the story Arnold doesn't want you to hear.  The biggest single threat to Ken Lay and the electricity lords is a private lawsuit filed last year under California's unique Civil Code provision 17200, the "Unfair Business Practices Act."  This litigation, heading to trial now in Los Angeles, would make the power companies return the $9 billion they filched from California electricity and gas customers.

1. You might want to edit in the actual title before this gets locked...

"Arnold Unplugged - It's hasta la vista to $9 billion if the Governator is selected"

re: LBN rules.

on edit: It's also a dupe thread.

2. This has not come out before this?
This makes perfect sense. Can you imagine the money it takes to pay him off? Enron and cabal money taken from the Teachers Pensions, Credit Unions, employees?

Maria Shriver had to know about this, right?

Has this not come out before this as a campaign issue? Davis and Bustamente knew about the lawsuit. They did not use this? Writers there haven't said anything?

Everything with this administration is woven together like a tight (noose?).
