CBS News | Enron Traders Caught On Tape

If you didn't hear it already, Enron folks were caught on tape talking about how they were ripping off the people of California with bogus price hikes. some choice quotes:

"He just f--ks California," says one Enron employee. "He steals money from California to the tune of about a million."
"Will you rephrase that?" asks a second employee.
"OK, he, um, he arbitrages the California market to the tune of a million bucks or two a day," replies the first.

or how about this gem...

"They're f--king taking all the money back from you guys?" complains an Enron employee on the tapes. "All the money you guys stole from those poor grandmothers in California?"
"Yeah, grandma Millie, man"
"Yeah, now she wants her f--king money back for all the power you've charged right up, jammed right up her asshole for f--king $250 a megawatt hour."

and finally this favorite...

"When this election comes Bush will f--king whack this s--t, man. He won't play this price-cap bulls--t."

Somehow Bush, being COMPLETELY oblivious to the whims and will of Ken Lay (*ahem*) said THIS in a speech during the energy crisis:

"We will not take any action that makes California's problems worse and that's why I oppose price caps."

YAY bush!
