I gotta tell you, I don't think Ken Lay was this monster they made him out to be. An inept CEO.......yes! He had no business holding the reins of this company and he let others play him like a cheap fiddle, further proof he should have been replaced........so many lives ruined and a big corporation that employed thousands, bites the dust and a sad ending for Lay's family. But, that's just me and the way I see it.
...let the conspiracy theories begin! Karl Rove told Cheney to have his Halliburton co-conspirators enlist a hit man from the Dubai Mafia to rub him out before he writes a tell-all memoir from prison, etc. etc. I am sure the DUmmies are starting to gin that up now.

No kidding. :D
News travels really fast on FR.
FR, Is the Best.
Ken Lay had information on the crooked dealings of the evil Bush administration and financed Karl Rove's hurricane machine. He and Bush plotted to release little gremlins that cause all of us daily misery by stealing our socks. Lay had the goods on Bush.
Bush did it.
Condolences to his family.
...
Dead and still dead.
Tragic. What does it profit a man if gains the whole world but loses his soul?
Wow...sounds fishy.
He did the country a favor. Maybe the editor and the publisher of the New York Slims will take the hint.
Karl plugged him unto the heart attack machine.
Who knows if it was a massive heart attack or something else. It's still sad. Prayers for his family.
There'll be a hot time in Helltown tonight.
Was he sitting on a camode onboard an airplane when this happened?
Everyone say hello to the freaks at DU. They crawled from under their rock to lament in the death of another Clintonoid tool.

I'm waiting for this headline:
Ken Lay Dies of Heart Attack: Democrats Hardest Hit
Sources from inside the Beltway indicate he had a bug up his ass. Literally.
CIA spooks planted a listening device while he was under sedation. The electronic implant had dual-use capabilities -- it could also deliver a fatal electrical shock directly into the nervous system of its victim.
Kenny was despondent and bitter over being thrown under the bus by his friend in the Oval Orifice and was going to detail crimes committed by then-Governor Bush related to attempts to win influence with the Taliban in Afghanistan. At the time, the Taliban was demanding concessions for an American oil pipeline being planned to carry crude oil across the lawless plains.
Enron Corporation hosted representatives of the Taliban at the time and arranged secret meetings between lieutenants of Osama bin Laden and the Bush governor's office. George W. Bush and the bin Laden family were friends going back years to the time when Salem bin Laden, the oldest half-brother of Osama bin Laden, bailed George Bush out of bankruptcy. Bush was presiding over the slide into bankruptcy of his Arbrusto Energy company.
Sources associated with the Lay family say his body will be cremated and honored in a private ceremony at his Colorado residence.
