The Enron skit tapes: the Bush family connection December 17, 2002 — George W. Bush, then governor of Texas, and his father, former Pres. George Bush, talk to former Enron President Rich Kinder in a video tape obtained by NBC’s Houston affiliate KPRC-TV.        And try as the Bush administration might to downplay its’ Enron ties, there is the President, when he was the Governor of Texas.        “Rich, I’ve been asked to think of one thing I’d say to you on your departure from Enron. It’d be this: Don’t leave Texas. Your too good of a man.”        And the President’s father weighs in, too.       “I hope you stay in Houston. I know the Governor, my little boy over there in Austin, already said the same thing. You’ve been fantastic to the Bush family. I don’t think anybody did more than you did to support George.”        Back in 1997, with Enron just beginning its massive expansion, they could afford to joke. After all, Enron’s best days were ahead.        But as it turned out, so were its worst.        CNBC was unable to get comment from video participants, except from Peggy Menchaca, who played Kinder in the skit with Skilling. From her home in Houston, she said she couldn’t believe the media were making so much of this — that the whole thing was tongue in cheek.        Today, of course, it’s no laughing matter.
