Michael Moore: Yes, it helps to be the president's son, especially when you're being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Newscaster: In 1990, when Mr. Bush was a director of Harken Energy, he received this memo from company lawyers warning directors not to sell stock if they had unfavorable information about the company.
One week later, he sold $848,000 worth
of Harken stock. Two months later, Harken announced
losses of more than $23 million. Michael Moore: The James Baker law partner who helped Bush beat the rap from the SEC was a man by the name of Robert Jordan who, when George W. became president was appointed ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
After the Harken debacle, the friends of Bush's dad got him a seat on another board, of a company owned by the Carlyle Group.
