A year ago Dick Armey’s longtime political advisor Pat Shortridge was heading up the Majority Leader’s Fund, Congressman Armey’s leadership PAC. Last Spring Shortridge left the MLF to become one of two senior directors of federal 
government affairs at Enron. That is to say, one of two people charged with lobbying the federal government on Enron’s behalf.
In early December, according to the Majority Leader’s spokesperson, Shortridge took a new job in Congressman Armey’s leadership office after Enron closed its DC lobbying operation. His title is now “Director of Coalitions.”
Also in early December (the Houston Chronicle reported it on December 4th) Congressman Armey told reporters “I think the Enron circumstances are very difficult. My impression is that Enron’s business right now is Enron’s business.”
