Bush about Kenny Boy: Zip it

During a briefing with the media today, a visibly upset President George W. Bush refused to answer questions he was asked about his relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth Lay - and stomped off the stage. According to the White House Lay has been a simple "supporter", but in reality the controversial businessman was not only but also a personal friend of the Bushes, but also a close adviser and fund-raiser for Bush and his father. The Center for Public Integrity, a Washington-based nonprofit group, said the Lays had given $139,500 to George W. Bush's political campaigns over the years. Plus: The investigative website The Smoking Gun offers access to tons of original memos and correspondence between George W. and "Kenny Boy".
