Grand Old Police Blotter: Glisan? He's Sweating Like A Pig Edition

The first Bush-buddy at Enron has been sentenced to five years at a Club Fed.

Fired Enron Treasurer Ben Glisan on Wednesday became the first executive sent to prison for his role in the scandal that brought down the energy giant and launched an unprecedented wave of corporate crackdowns.

Glisan, 37, pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy and was sentenced to the maximum of five years in prison. Ten other former Enron executives have pleaded not guilty to criminal charges and face trial.

The non-virgin Ben is not cooperating with federal prosecutors, the article says. That may work to the prosecutors' advantage, as Glisan loses his immunity and the Enron defendants can't portray him as cutting a deal in exchange for favorable testimony.

But wait, you say that the article doesn't identify Benny G. as Republican? Well, the FEC does:

Will Bush and the Repugs give the $10,500.00 back to those Glisan stole it from?
