Attorney General Bill Lockyer sued Atlanta-based energy company Mirant Corp. Wednesday, accusing it of profiting by "breaking the law and plundering the people of California" during the energy crisis of 2000-2001.

Mirant called the allegations old news, and said federal regulators should be considering them, not the courts.

Right behind Enron in campaign contributions from energy companies was Southern Co., whose Southern Energy subsidiary, recently renamed Mirant, is an electricity supplier in California. Atlanta-based Southern Co. gave $1.3 million in 2000, including $14,000 directly to Bush.

2. Still in bed with the energy companies...

I think this shows a pattern. The biggest contributors to Bush/Cheney are the folks who have been screwing people everywhere and getting away with it. It must be his "religion" to get in bed with these folks but not screw them...screw everyone BUT them is more like it.
