greg palast article

[shanti]

i need some help here...a freeper on another board is insisting that the palast story isn't telling both sides.

he says "That's because Davis's people where in the room too and Davis had received campaign contributions from Ken Lay. That's the problem with being a political Whore. It makes it difficult to point fingers at other people."

is there any truth to these allegations??

1. please, i need an answer

SOMEONE has to know this...i haven't read anything about davis being involved besides this.

2. I made a pretty thorough study of the meeting

While Riordan was there, I saw no mention of any Gray Davis people or him.

It was Arnold,Lay, Riordan, junk bond king Michael Milken, and a few other non notable finance types. But I think if Davis' people were there it would have recieved some notice from the press at the time.

3. I'm not sure but in the memo it was going on

how such and such was a very wealthy REPUBLICAN. Also, I noticed that Earvin Johnson was listed. I didn't realize Magic was in on it too.

8. except for THIS democrat:

Eli Broad - "chairman of Sun America and a Democratic billionaire"
What's up with THAT??

I'm also very disturbed about the invitations to:
Sherry Lansing, Chairman, Paramount
Jeffrey Katzenberg, Dreamworks
Michael Eisner, Disney CEO


This one......Gary Winnick, CEO Global Crossings - humph! GO FIGURE!!!

9. now i'm getting bothered!

WAS davis in on it? is this why he hasn't pushed this issue?? :tinfoilhat:

10. Davis wasn't on the list of attendees OR invitees

in either memo. I would think he would have been listed. But it IS definitely strange that neither Davis nor Bustamante has been talking about this. Busta could have at the very least told us about his lawsuit against Enron!!
