While he was a very corrupt and sleazy golfing buddy of bill clinton, I would not wish death on him or any of his cronies. I sympathize with his family, who certainly do not deserve to be pilloried over his corrupt business dealings, and I'm sure they are in emotional pain right now.

I have to agree. Rest in peace, Mr. Lay. But that being said, I am still amazed, and probably shouldn't be, that the media loves to portray him as some sort of Pres Bush cohort enmeshed in corruption, instead of the FOB that he was.

There was a great thread here revealing the dozens of links between Lay and BJ Clinton. Anyone have the link? Gonna need it over the next couple of days against the Bush Haters.

hmmm - has anyone done a recent search on how many Bubbas cronies - are still among the living? (Well, start the list after Foster and Brown - life is short, after all.)

Here's a start on the Enron/Bubba dealings -

" We have to bring these things back front and center to educate the sheeple who either forget or were too young to remember just who is it that death follows... On Nov. 22, 1995, for example, Clinton scrawled an FYI note to McLarty, enclosing a newspaper article on Enron Corp. and the vicissitudes of its $3 billion power-plant project in India. McLarty then reached out to Enron's chairman, KEN LAY, and over the next nine months closely monitored the project with the U.S. ambassador to New Delhi, keeping Lay informed of the Administration's efforts, according to White House documents reviewed by TIME. In June 1996, four days before India granted final approval to Enron's project, Lay's company gave $100,000 to the President's party. Enron denies that its gift was repayment for Clinton's attention, and White House special counsel LANNY DAVIS says McLarty acted out of concern for a major U.S. investment overseas.

and a LOT more such sweetheart 'contributions' are named in the article at this link - names that it might be ingteresting to check on;

Fits with all the illegal campaign contributions in swap for such things as - well, you all know: for a couple examples: China for military technology; 'non' campaign money from Buddhists Monastery (and checks from nuns, to cover illegal $) etc etc
