The indictment of President Bush's one-time friend and financial backer Kenneth Lay put the spotlight back on Bush's ties to big corporate donors as he heads into the final months of the U.S. presidential campaign. Democrats seized on the indictment of the man nicknamed 'Kenny Boy' by Bush to attack the president's personal and financial ties to Enron, including suggesting the criminal action had been delayed.
