Karl Rove garners hisses, laughter - and applause

[Rose Siding]

Clinton enjoyed a warm reception Friday night, after the Atlantic Monthly's James Fallows introduced him as the most popular man on earth. Rove was met with tough questions from moderator Walter Isaacson, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute, and hisses from the audience.

Rove appeared to be on the defensive on questions about Guantanamo, the Valerie Plame affair, Iraq and other issues.

Rove made jokes about his hecklers and at one point referred to them as "people who fly in and out of Aspen in their jets.".......

Asked how America can regain the moral high ground in Iraq, which Issacson termed a "messy occupation," Rove replied: "I'm not sure we've lost the moral high ground. If we don't see a path to success we shouldn't be there."
...
Isaacson posed the question in the same way Clinton had Friday night. Issacson, parroting Clinton, pointed out that if a member of the Clinton administration had outed a CIA officer, "You'd be sending people to demand impeachment. You'd be playing it better than the Democrats can play it against you."

Rove then said that after a "careful, thoughtful, aggressive investigation," then the person responsible should be fired.

Ken Lay was born April 15, 1942, in Tyrone, Mo., to loving parents - Omer and Ruth Lay. Ken spent 64 years doing God's work helping others with great compassion. We know that Ruth and Omer have embraced their precious son once again.

Ken's life exemplified Galatians 5:22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Despite his meager upbringing, Ken was always generous with his time, money, love, talents and leadership. To know Ken was to love him. Many benefited from Ken's generosity - Anderson Ranch, Aspen Camp School for the Deaf, Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, Aspen Foundation, Aspen Institute, Aspen Music Festival and School, Aspen Valley Community Foundation, and many others. Ken's door was always open, whether it was to help with a child's college funds, to help a former Enron employee pay their mortgage; to help young entrepreneurs make dreams a reality, or to give a second chance when he believed in a person. Ken could not say no to anyone needing help. When asked why he always looked for the best in everyone, Ken would reply that it was much better than the alternative.

Ken's love of Linda was unsurpassed - they were to celebrate their 24th anniversary on July 10 - they were truly best friends, soul mates and partners. They were always holding hands and demonstrating their incredible adoration for each other. Linda considers herself the luckiest woman in the world to have had those precious years with Ken.

He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge. Proverbs 14:26

Ken leaves behind five children, Robyn, Mark, David, Elizabeth and Beau, who all love him very much. He was their role model for life, business and Christian faith. They are blessed with memories of a father who respected each of them for their uniqueness and took the time to foster in them the desire to achieve their best. They enjoyed lively dinner conversations, festive holidays and their quiet times with him.

Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. Proverbs 17:6


SNIP

Ken's first wife, Judie, continued to love and support Ken through the greatest challenges of his life and never questioned his integrity.

Ken's faith supported him throughout his life and gave him the confidence to believe in people. He trusted God that he had a plan, even if it was never perfectly clear.

SNIP

Ken loved Enron and saw the company as one of limitless possibilities. He often talked of the incredible talent at Enron and believed Enron employees were unsurpassed in any industry. Ken believed the real value of Enron was in its people. From the most junior employee to his top executives, Ken treated all with the same dignity and respect they deserved as children of God. Employees often remarked on how he recalled their names, family and other personal details they shared with him.

I, the Lord, search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve. Jeremiah 12:10

For those who knew and loved Ken, we take comfort in the knowledge that he is in the loving presence of the one true judge.

Celebrations of Ken's life for family and friends will take place at the Aspen Chapel in Aspen at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 9, 2006, and also on Wednesday, July 12, 2006, at 11 a.m. at First United Methodist Church-Downtown in Houston.

"Ken spent 64 years doing God's work helping others with great compassion".


B U L L S H I T

I'd say he spent some of those 64 years fucking unsuspecting stock holders and employees out of their money, pensions and livelihoods. THIS IS NOT GOD'S WORK.
