I know why the soon-to-be-Caged Bird Sings

So, the Feds are tightening the noose around the Enron Gang...seems that the accounting guy is now testifying against Lay and Skilling in return for some reduction in his Prison Bitch Time. Well, it ought to be interesting, I wonder if they offered that deal to Skilling too? Or is he too big a fish?

Former top Enron Corp. accountant Richard Causey pleaded guilty to securities fraud Wednesday and agreed to help pursue convictions against Enron founder Kenneth Lay and former CEO Jeffrey Skilling, the Associated Press reported.

Lay, Skilling and Causey were scheduled to be tried together Jan. 17 on conspiracy, fraud and other charges related to the scandal-ridden company's collapse more than four years ago. The deal leaves Lay and Skilling with another opponent rather than an ally who has been part of their united defense front since the trio was first indicted last year.

Causey will serve seven years in prison and forfeit $1.25 million to the government, according to the plea deal. However, if the government is happy with his cooperation, prosecutors can ask that his sentence be reduced to five years.

Yeah, any bets for a two year reduction, he'll make them real, real happy?

Seeing Kenny-boy in an orange jumpsuit will be only marginally better than seeing Beloved Leader and his Lying Fuck Henchman, Crashcart in one. But, alas, that may have to be another day....so moral, so righteous, so ... convicted. Yeah, Baby!

I can't help but wonder why this case has dragged out for so long. Methinks the DOJ let it sit until after Nov 2004. Kenny boy needs to do some time for being a nasty crook. He will look mighty bitch-like in prison orange. I want to see that bastard frogged marched!

Don't let him do a doublecross like Ollie North.

Anyways, "you're either with Bush or you are with the prosecutors".

Heh.
