Wonder if anyone will pay more attention to his recommendations on TXU than they did on the Iraq plan.

Has anyone else noticed that Baker is always pointing at something?

They don't call him Jim "Pull my finger" Baker for nothing.

Would that be the NEW new TXU, the titty babies that are threatening to close power plants?

Speaking of "new TXU," where is KKR (other than its penchant for 'chainsawing,') going to get this buyout money from, especially since a UK paper reported they're also signed on for a $50 billion, record setting, private buyout of Dow?

The heck with the Texas PUC getting its panties in a wad over not being properly stroked on this deal. The SEC or FTC or somebody seriously needs to ask where KKR is going to get all this money.
