No, I'm not shocked. It's been common knowledge that Enron gave to both major parties over the years, and did major lobbying efforts with whomever was in power. Standard Operational Procedure.
I think you're misinterpreting the major dimension of the Enron Scandal. It's not about whether Enron bought the services of a government; it's about whether Enron's access caused high government officials (specifically the Dubyah and his VP) to take actions that would compromise the integrity of public office.
