Lay press conference on CNN 2:10pm EST

[WilliamPitt]

"A tragic day for my family."

"I reject any accusations of criminal activity."

"The saddest day of my life."

:puke:

[Solly Mack]

1. He was out of the loop, doncha know?

He didn't know everything going on in his company.

He wasn't aware of it's practices.

:eyes:

[w13rd0]

5. Perhaps "Baby-Face Lay"...

...got some "bad intel"...

Whatever, and the spin from the WH on this is laughable. I would say "how did these people become rich and powerful", but we already know the answer to that, that's why they are being indicted.

[Solly Mack]

11. That's it! Lay got bad intel! He should use that one, too.

I read the WH spin and laughed as well.

[Solly Mack]

17. OMG! w13rd0! He just used a variation of bad intel!

When talking of the new accounting practices passed, he claims he was told they wouldn't impact how Enron did business. IOW, he is saying he got "bad intel" on how Enron would be impacted when rules changed...so they kept doing what they were doing.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Grandma Millie disagrees.

[Fenris]

12. F**k Grandma Millie!

:D

[Kadie]

3. Boo Hoo, I am really going to need a tissue

I feel so sorry for him and his family. /sarcasm

[ElsewheresDaughter]

4. now tell us how you & linda crashed the USS Greenville into that Japanese

boat killing 19 students/children in Hawiaii !!!...the USS Greenville was full of Enron pigs when it happened...and tells us about your being given your own office as a member of the bush/cheney White House transition team....and how you had a secert meeting with arnold swarteznegger in 2001 about getting him elected and not paying for yoiur rape of california taxpayers>>>TELL US KENNYBOY!

[Solly Mack]

6. Is he reading his entire defense?

sure does seem like it.

[Junkdrawer]

7. Great timing here...

Enron happened mid 2001 - Kenny indicted in mid 2004.

Soon enough so that Dems can't use "Where's Kenny" in the campaign.

Late enough so that the trial won't be before the election.

[Fenris]

8. "Failure does not equal crime."

Uh-huh.

[Mandate My Ass]

20. What about locking retirees out of their 401Ks

for the weeks it took for the stock to be declared as worthless as teh paper it was printed on?

Is that the new definition of failure? :eyes:

[SoCalDem]

9. Cry me a river, Kenny-Boy

:)

[hatrack]

10. God, how will I be able to keep choking bac k the tears?!?!?

Sooner or later, I'm just going to bust out bawling at the tragic events which have befallen this honorable, upright and rich, rich, rich man (and his rich, rich family, too!).

[olddem43]

13. He is the proverbial piano player in the whorehouse

or rather, the manager of the whorehouse. He didn't really know what was going on.

[Solly Mack]

14. it's the bad apple theory

[Kanary]

15. Great day for the nation, tho....

Sorry for your "inconvenience", Ken.

:evilgrin:

Kanary

[spanone]

16. All I can say is "good on ya Kenny boy!"

[MissAnnThrope]

18. It's Always Sad...

... When a criminal gets caught at what he's doing. Sad for the criminal, at any rate. Has he started quoting the bible yet? As Hunter S. Thompson said after he was arrested, "When you see me coming out for Jesus, you'll know they have something on me."

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. bush & entire WH staff are all running around right now saying KennyWho

[Joanne98]

21. Don't forget the joke he told about CA during the energy crisis

What's the difference between California and the Titanic? When the Titanic went down it had the lights on. HAHA FUCK YOU LAY.

[AlinPA]

22. He made it clear that Bush* is a liar when Bush* said he hardly

knew Lay. He stated clearly that he was a Bush* family friend and friends with George W. Bush*; saying "well, I suppose I was a bit closer with Bush* Sr. than I was with George W. Bush*..."
