The Spoons Experience's Handy Chart

Spoons has a chart posted to his weblog that compares the emerging Oil-For-Food scandal to the Enron and Martha Stewart scandals. I've got my own. Enjoy.

- -	Enron	Martha Stewart	Oil For Food
The Villain	Corporate raiders who deceived investors and deprived many of their life savings	Self-centered, greedy woman who thought herself above insider trading rules	Various foreign government officials, the UN, others TBD
The Victim	Hard-working investors who believed Enron's bogus financials and outlook and thought it a good investment opportunity	People of average means who play by the rules and don't have brokers that feed them insider information	The Iraqi people who were supposed to be getting food and medicine, Anyone who has faith in the UN's ability to keep the interests of its officials from eclipsing those of the Iraqi people
Who gains when the scandal is reported?	People who are sick and tired of corporate thieves stealing their investment capital	People who are sick and tired of celebrities and other well-connected people thinking that the rules don't apply to them	The Iraqi people, who should be compensated if the assertions made to date are actually true. The Bush administration, which wants the rest of the world to think the UN is corrupt and useless.
Who loses when the scandal is reported?	Hopefully, the bastards who deceived investors	Martha Stewart, scumbag brokers who trade on insider information	The UN, various officials of foreign governments, anyone who profited illegally and unethically from the Oil For Food program (caveat: Let's see the evidence first and THEN make a judgment, thankyouverymuch)
