Reverend Compares Ken Lay to Dr. King and Jesus Christ

[Mir]

Unbelievable but true. Of course the chimp was in attendance to pay his respects to his good buddy "Kenny boy." He slithered in and out through the back door without talking to the media. Dr. King and Jesus of Nazareth have here been gravely insulted. These people are amazing.

1. For some reason, I'm not buying the Reverend's comparison.

2. I think it says Poppy Bush attended, not W /nt

3. Ma & Pa Bush were in attendance--not "The Chimp"

I can understand a preacher wanting to emphasize the positive side of The Departed. But I'm also nauseated at the comparisons he made.

Sounds like he gave the same eulogy as he did in Colorado. Let us not forget that both ceremonies were Memorial Services, not Funerals. No casket, open or closed, since Lay was cremated--apparently just after the autopsy.
