2. Dems need to keep Ken Lays name in the news...
Skilling is not "the guy". Ken Lay is the top crook of that disaster. Chimpboy probably made him a promise that he'd never be arrested,Dems need to change that thinking...

3. I won't be happy until...
I see "Kenny-Boy" in handcuffs. (Actually I probably won't be happy until he's given a long prison sentence.) But I agree; we want to see the one who's really responsible take the punishment. There are so many "fall guys" in this administration, the criminals are all walking around free.

4. Even at a minimum, they have a "Martha Stewart" case against him.
Didn't he dump millions of stock while telling his investors that profits were up? What's the delay in making him do the perp walk?

Give it time. I heard on MSNBC yesterday, when they were talking about Skilling, is that Lay's in the works.

Edit: Typo

6. i never took money from that man, mr. lay
mr. lay is a personal friend of the bushco family. we can't have him going to jail for the exact same thing martha stewart is. or the same thing bush did in harkin energy. can't have that. but a few will be filmed doing the perp walk, and the impression that they are going to jail will be made upon prozac addled voters.

go after ken lay?.......earth to solomon.....

good point though solomon, enron, worldcom, harkin, etc., all are heavy gop contributors and power brokers. the busco creed is mainly about robbing treasuries and billion dollar profits. their specialty is propping up a huge corporation, and letting it tank out, taking all of the investors money, and getting away with it. niel/silverado.
jr/harken...jr/arbutsto oil......if you steal a loaf of bread, you go to jail......if you steal 5 billion like jr, jeb, neil and norman bush did about a decade ago, you become governors and presidents.

would that we could all have a last name like bush. it's very lucrative, selling it here and there.

8. He he. Mopaul, are we going to let them get away with calling Skilling
"THE guy" at Enron? Hell No! What a pathetic attempt. They better come up with more than that.

9. I hope the rest of the crooks recognize that Shrub will turn on them
on a dime to save their own political hides. The Bush family expects loyalty from the troops, but there is no reciprocation. The sooner they learn that, the sooner they'll turn on the Bush Crime Family.

10. I guess it was decided (and agreed upon) that Skilling would take the

heat. And we are a long way from any sort of conviction. I have heard some newscasters "suggesting" that nothing more may come of it because this case is SO complex, convoluted and difficult to prove.

Really? Let's ask all those who lost their life savings in this debacle if they would consider their ruined lives as evidence that a crime had been committed. The same thing with the savings and loan theft years ago. No one will serve any serious time.

But the guy who robs a bank to pay for a family member's medical bills gets hard time...
