When does Ken Lay get what Martha got?
Why is there no media circus surrounding Bush's friend, Kenny boy Lay?

1. He would be a good cellmate for the night stalker
I would like to see all of them making licence plates and avoiding the showers.

4. The most therapeutic thing that could happen to the Earths
troubled people would be for Bush and his henchmen be tried and sent to jail for the treason that they have and are committing to a flagrant degree, starting with election fraud, the 9-11 sham, the Iraq war and now an attempt to shut down SS and steal the money while they are at it.

2. Never. He knows where the bodies are buried and has
documented it in some way that is self-protective.

3. The media are owned by the same folks who love Kenny Boy
The few news media that remain are ALL corporate giants. These are owned and run by the same elites who own the oil and gas fields -- and power lines and power companies -- Kenny Boy made his money and lost his investors' and employees' money on. As long as it's just the "little people" who get hurt, the media ownership couldn't care less. They don't even investigate an illegal invasion, for goodness sake.

6. I would hope he would get a lot more than what Martha got --- look
at all the lives he ruined, dstroyed their entire savings for retirement. Martha hurt nobody, not even sure the 40, 000 plus she made was intentional. I will never believe she took that kind of a chance for money she did'nt need.

They are hoping everyone will forget about Lay and looks like the MSM as usual is assisting.

9. Sex Change
After the operation. Part of the reason Martha got time was because she's a powerful, independent, opinionated woman. American society still seems to feel the need to slap them down once they've made a name for themselves. We have so far to go...

10. Rhetorical question, right?
I mean, you just can't really compare the two.

Martha MAY have gotten money by slightly ill-gotten means. The shame of it!

Ken Lay contributed money to our Great Leader, which he EARNED by cooking books, shuffling divisions, fudging on taxes, and finding six ways from Sunday how to intercourse his employees and the public. That's damn hard work, buddy! How dare you insult a hard-working corporate capitalist whose only devotion is to his country and its leader?

Apples/oranges, silly! :eyes:

13. Don't hang your hat on Kenny-boy doing any time.
Lay's trial will be late next fall or winter. It will drag on for several months. If he is found guilty, the sentencing will be scheduled for mid-November 2006, after the mid-term elections. Lay's Christmas present will be a full pardon from Bu$h. Why? Lay knows all about Cheney's secret Energy Task Force. The pardon will be the Bu$h regimes' side of a deal with Lay to keep those secrets secret. The regime doesn't want any tell-all best-sellers written in a prison cell.

14. That's exactly the point I've been trying to make
Ken Lay is one of the people personally responsible for the fact that some of Enron's employees lost the money they were saving for their childrens' college education, etc.

But because he has friends in such high places, he probably won't serve a day in jail.

I'm no big fan of Martha Stewart, but the fact that she has served time in jail, and Ken Lay hasn't, should raise a red flag for everyone.
