Frank,
The media will not report it because it is bullshit. If it was true, FOX would be running it daily even though the story is over a year old. This is another internet hoax like the toothbrush up the ass one while the honeymoon couple was out of their hotel room. There are many public records to prove who slept in the Whitehouse. Ken Lay never spent the night in the Clinton administration but he did have a PJ party with Poppy Bush.

Here are a few things to review

And from http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/enron.htm


The debacle that is Enron will take years to unravel, and the end result will be that no one person or group or political party will be held to "blame" for the whole affair. Enron has been spreading around so much money and influence through its lobbying efforts for so many years -- among both Republicans and Democrats, in federal as well as in state governments -- that neither party can take the moral high ground here. As The San Francisco Chronicle reported:

Enron's tentacles ran so deep into Washington's political establishment that 71 sitting senators and nearly half of the current House of Representatives received Enron money during the last decade, including some who are now investigating the company's bankruptcy.
And The Hartford Courant noted:

The company also was generous with state and local candidates from both major political parties. Its tentacles were wrapped around high-profile figures in several administrations.
The attempt made in the piece of netlore quoted above to deflect blame from the current administration and dump it onto the Clinton White House is nothing short of silly. To wit:

The Enron chairman stayed at the White House 11 times.
As Brendan Nyhan revealed in an article at Salon.com, Enron CEO Kenneth Lay was never an overnight visitor at the White House during the Clinton adminstration. But, according to Nyhan, "Lay did, however, stay at the White House when George H.W. Bush was president."
