#14  I'll tell ya, if I was juggling as many conspiracies as Bush, my friggin head would explode. Even with The Evil Karl Rove around, how does he keep track of them all?

More than likely it was Hillary that had him whacked.

#11   some part of me can't stop thinking that he is faking this and that he is strapped to the gurney in a plastic surgeon's office in the Cayman's as we speak.

ahhhhhh. You've spoiled the moment. That would not have crossed my mind, but now that you mention it...

#10  typical comment: link.

Of course, they all seem to have forgotten about Lay's golfing jaunts with Clinton, or how Robert Rubin tried to delay further investigation into Enron...

Some of the comments re: the California power crisis on that thread also sound rather dense, if you ask me.

#9  He should still have to do his time in prison in the same cell as Skilling. And a bunch of others who slid under the radar.

#7  betcha there's a thread on DU accusing KKKarl Rove of having Lay offed to distract attention from Chimpy McHaliburton's falling approval ratings/the pending Rove indictment/North Korea/the quagmire in Iraq/Afghanistan/New Orleans/Cindy Sheehan's hunger strike/Mexico/something, I don't know what, I'll think of it, just give me a sec.

#6  As arrogant, wealthy, crooked, and unable to accept blame as that SOB is, some part of me can't stop thinking that he is faking this and that he is strapped to the gurney in a plastic surgeon's office in the Cayman's as we speak.

#3  "The Lays have a very large family with whom they need to communicate, and out of respect for the family we will release further details at a later time."

Too bad he couldn't get to Florence.

#2   Enron founder Kenneth Lay died early Wednesday in Aspen, Colo., a family spokeswoman said.

Is there a federal prison in Aspen?

#1  Lay managed to kill electric deregulation, almost single-handly, with unbridled greed. Under his leadership, Enron set the standard for win/lose negotiating and overly-aggressive business practices. Oh, and he was a crook too.
