RIP Ken Lay...

[TigerVols]

...moving now. No word on how.

Edit:
MSNBC reporting he died of a heart attack.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

No word yet if President Bush will attend the funeral of his No. 1 fundraiser and the host of his inaugural party. Ditto **** Cheney, who turned to Ken Lay for help in crafting the Administration's energy policy.

The only tragedy here is that Lay didn't die in a federal pound me in the ass prison.

I thought a heart attack required an actual heart.

Condolences to his family.

Christ, that's the ultimate plea bargain to escape prison time.

Anyone think he pulled a Socrates? Nah. But hmm.

Ha! Story says he died at his vacation home in Colorado. Probably had a room full of strippers, coke and $100 bills.

Anyone think he pulled a Socrates? Nah. But hmm.

Yes. I think that very much.

I also think some of the people he brought down might have had some reason to off him, too.

Either way, I hope it was painful.

 

[Pencil Dick]

Good riddance.

Give my regards to Lucifer, Astaroth and Beelzebub, Kenneth.

Karma's a *****, ain't it? J. Skilling, you're next.

(Sorry, but the wife of a good friend who lives in Houston lost over $200K when Enron collapsed.)

Actually, Drudge did say suicide originally, but as usual, once the official statement of heart attack comes, does he retract and correct?

Nah....delete, never happened.

The one thing he isn't is dead. He stashed a lot of money somewhere and is now going to live the rest of his life in seclusion.

Bet your sweet ass on that.

Sort of reminds me of Robin Coldicort (sp.) from Cheers, when he stashed 6 million dollars into belts and such before saying goodbye to Rebecca. I think that's how it went.

Nevertheless, Lay ain't dead.

Who's going to write the official SportsJournalists.com statement of condolence?

So Kenny Boy is going to hang with Elvis?

Burn in hell Ken Lay.

How about a rhyming haiku?

Enron thief Ken Lay
Presumably died today
Nothing good to say

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Here's a statement.

****ing thief and general assclown Kenneth Lay died while he wasn't serving time at his posh vacation home in Colorado. He died too soon, when many of us were hoping to see him spend some time in a federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison. Many of us remain baffled that Lay was out of prison while awaiting his sentencing, living the good life instead of trading cigarettes for favors and looking behind his back all the time. The asshole bilked a number of lower and middle class Americans out of their life savings while getting out before the company he ran into the ground, ran into the ground. It's believed that he'd have preferred grape jelly when tossing his cell mate's salad, but that was only speculation. He and his partner in crime Jeff Skilling have over $180 million in assetts that the federal government wants to seize, since it really isn't fair that he's allowed to accumulate so much stuff through crookedness and deception. Lay was 64 when a heart attack claimed his life. That left many surprised that he even had a heart.

Here you go:

Enron founder, CEO and crook Kenneth Lay passed away from a reported massive coronary at his vacation home in Aspen. He will not be missed.

SportsJournalists.com would like to express its collective sympathy to the thousands of families he destroyed in his attempt to cook the books, pad the bank accounts and screw the world. Lay -- who is now vacationing on a private island with Elvis, Jimmy Hoffa and those aboard the plane that supposedly crashed into the Pentagon, according to Songbird -- did not pass painfully enough for Starman or anyone with an ounce of decency.

May his memory and crimes be remembered.

Condolences to his family.

Well put. My thoughts exactly.

 

[alleyallen]

When I told my co-workers, they all were surprised, then followed that up with a "Good riddance." I'm wondering if there's going to be any sorrow for this guy's passing ... from any corner or political stripe.

Paging trounced ... paging trounced.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

Oh boy, where can you go with this one. Better to just whistle and walk away.

 

[terrier]

A shame he had to die - never had to serve a day of hard time.
Even in death, he got over on us one more time.
