Give it Back George! The Lay Loot That
Bought the White House
by Greg Palast

When the feds swoop down and cuff racketeers, they also load the vans with all the perp's
ill-gotten gains: stacks of cash, BMWs, whatever. Their associates have to cough up the
goodies too: lady friends must give up their diamond rocks.

Under the racketeering law, RICO, even before a verdict, anything bought with the proceeds of
the crime goes into the public treasury.

But there seems to be special treatment afforded those who loaded up on the 'bennies' of Ken
Lay's crimes. If the G-men don't know where the tainted loot is cached, try this address: 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue. Ask for George or Dick.

Ken Lay and his Enron team are the Number One political career donors to George W. Bush.
Mr. Lay and his Mrs., with no money to pay back bilked creditors, still managed to personally
put up $100,000 for George's inaugural Ball plus $793,110 for personal donations to
Republicans. Lay's Enron team dropped $4.2 million into the party that let Enron party.
