Hey look, Kenneth Lay gave a speech today in Houston - photos
Why isn't this guy in jail yet?






Enron founder Kenneth Lay answers a question from the audience after speaking at a Houston Forum luncheon Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2005 in Houston. Lay, his CEO successor Jeffrey Skilling and the company's former top accountant, Richard Causey, are scheduled to go on trial Jan. 17, more than four years after the company that made them multimillionaires crumbled.

2. Who the hell would invite him to speak at lunch?
I'd feel dirty if I were in the same room with him.

5. Why isn't this guy in jail yet.........
:rofl: that's a good one! You're forgetting who contributed heavily to bush's failed 2000 presidential bid! Why, Enron even supplied the corporate jet to get James Baker to Florida ASAP to stop the ballot counting. Why isn't he in jail yet? That was a rhetorical question, right?

11. I never understand why the liberal media (snicker) isn't running
footage of GW getting off that jet and giving a speech in front of it every day like they did certain receiving line footage of another president.

7. After looting billions .....
..... ruining the savings and lives for millions.
putting thousands out of work
building bush's Crawford "ranch"
flying bush on Enron jets in 1999 & 2000
using Enron lawyers to stop the recount in Florida 2000
causing the fake electricity shortage in California which
in turn put Arnold into power

You are wondering where is the justice? Welcome to the new America.

10. Tookie was a stone cold killer.
End of story.

http://da.co.la.ca.us/pdf/swilliams.pdf

Just look over that pdf file. Mr Williams was a stone cold thug who got what was coming to him.
If we get upset about all the unneeded deaths caused by bush's actions we should also be upset
about the families Mr. Williams destroyed.

No need to muddy the waters here ..... just because Lay is a crook does not change the fact that
Mr. Williams was thug and killer.

12. So how many people died
Edited on Tue Dec-13-05 04:28 PM by DoYouEverWonder
has a result of California's bogus energy crisis and rolling black outs? I guess those folks don't count?

13. No, they don't count
Because Ken Lay made a whole bunch of money while his victims died. Now if Stanley Williams had had the foresight to be a rich white guy and make a pile of money off his victims, he too might be speaking to the Houston Forum today, instead of whatever he's doing now (and don't read Gulley and Mulholland's book "If Grace Is True" because you probably won't like the answer they proffer).

15. Actually, probably not you

More along the lines of our friend Botany in the post above yours. Sorry it wasn't clear from the context of my muddled post. In any event, I highly recommend the book "If Grace Is True" and its sequel "If God Is Love."

17. I am sure people died from Lay's actions.
Suicides after finding your nest egg with Enron stock was now worthless.
