Ex-Enron Chairman Lay Blasts the Media

[gatorboy]

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Enron Corp. founder and former chairman Kenneth Lay said he is sorry for "causing so much commotion," but blamed the media for making matters worse, in an e-mail to his 1960 high school graduation class.
Lay sent the message to a classmate Wednesday — a day before pleading innocent to charges of fraud, conspiracy and making false statements to banks.


Enron crashed in 2001, putting more than 5,000 employees out of work. Thousands of workers who heavily invested in Enron stock also lost their retirement savings.


"I apologize for causing so much commotion," Lay wrote to classmate Kay Baird. "It appears that the media continues to be interested in my welfare. They are particularly interested if they think my welfare may not be good."

Yep. And we all know how it was the media that destroyed thousands of Americans retirement. These people have no shame.

4. "Sorry"

Dosen't explain the tapes that were released to the media and broadcast to the world.

It appears that the "media" against the advidce of your "buddy" can't afford your sorry ass anymore.

You had your chance and blew it; live and learn with the people you reamed in a nice, quiet cell bent over.

5. Has the man ever apologized

for destroying so many lies? Has he offered a bulk of his wealth to those who lost their life earnings making him rich? I mean, how much does one person need to live on? THey're pathectic and I hope justice finally prevails.

9. The ole Sgt. Schultz defense

He knows NOTHING, NOTHING!

I'll bet Fastow is singing like an American Idol contestant since both Lay and Skilling have publicly chastised him.

Suck on it, Kenny Boy.

7. As a citizen of California

You know Kenny boy, that state that you royally fucked over? That state that you promised to destroy? Well, I'm of the opinion that the media has been way too soft on your dumb ass. If you want to find someone who'll really give you a piece of what you deserve, why, you're cordially invited to go a few rounds with me on my front lawn, you piece of walking vermin infested shit. You are the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst, the scum that even scum won't touch. I hope you get life in maximum security, one hour a day outside your cell in shackles, you piece of shit!

laughing about screwing California over and over and over at Kenny-Boy's trial.
