HuskyCaucasian Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Ken Lay's memorial attracts power elite The Reverend Dr. Bill Lawson compared Lay with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ, and said his name would eventually be cleared. "He was taken out of the world right at the right time," he said. "History has a way of vindicating people who have been wronged." THe man stole from his company and caused it to colapse ruining the lives of thousands! But dont worry... he was wronged! "At the height of his power and position ... he used the position to lift others up." Huh???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 In a lesser known book of the Bible, Jesus also went about getting investments from the disciples before running their money into his personal coffers. So the pastor's speech makes sense. Talk about putting lipstick on a f***ing swine. And yes Athomeboy, he did lift them up....for the monumental fall that came when their jobs/pensions/professional lives collapsed beyond all recognition.

jackie hayes Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Jesus said that the poor shall always be with us. Noone can say Ken Lay didn't do his part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone who worked for Lay got screwed over. I know someone who worked at Florida energy company owned by Enron who still gets a pretty good pension. But for the most part, yeah, this guy was scum. I like the pity store his family tried claiming. They were poor, their press release issued from their Aspen vacation home claimed.

Gregory Pratt Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 He was a monster, and I'm glad he's dead. I was surprised that Bush didn't go to his lover's funeral, while his dad did. I'd expect W. to appreciate the man who funnelled money up his bum for most of his adult life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he could have just deserted him like John Kerry and Bill Clinton when the heat got to hot in the kitchen, but hey, that's just me I guess.
