BUSH AND REPUBLICANS SHOULD GIVE UP ILL-GOTTEN GAINS</a></h2></center>
<blockquote>by Greg Palast, Thursday, July 8, 2004
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.</blockquote>
Well, if there were any concern at all for ethical considerations, Dubbyuh and his merry band would indeed return any and all political contributions recieved from Kenny Boy and his buddies at Enron. But there's not, so they won't.
