Lay, Skilling Convicted

Thought I'd get glass dicked on this one, given that the verdict was announced almost an hour ago. You people are slipping.

If you had owned stock in and/or worked for Enron, I'm pretty sure you'd consider it important. Just sayin'.

Skilling's lawyer, Dan Petrocelli, said the verdict "doesn't change our view of what happened at Enron ... or Jeffrey Skilling's innocence."

YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!

That's one small step for our republic, one life sentence for the BEST FRIEND of the Bush family.

Wolfman, WAKE THE FUCK UP. If you don't appreciate the importance of this, you are truly walking around in a coal mine. Celebrate now--even if you are clueless.

And a bullet for Bush's dome if he pardons him....his #1 contributor.

Yup, Bush ran on stolen money...nice work, tards.

Kinda like presidential hummers in the white house, eh? Yet, you and your radiotalk supernauts have yet to let that one go...

And if you think that getting a presidential hummer is "worse" than what skilling and lay did at ENRON, you're a genuine idiot.

You mean best friend of the Clinton family.

Still trying to pull that old ruse, huh? Look up Kenny Boy's political contributions sometime. That will tell you where his political loyalties lie.

Not saying that Clinton never did anything for him, but that meshes perfectly with Clinton's most frustrating trait: a maddening and perplexing insistence on BOHICAing what should have been his natural constituency in order to get a pat on the head and an "Attaboy!" from those who wouldn't cast a vote for him if their very lives depended on it.

Power was Lay's only loyalty. I don't give a fuck about contributions. I only look at what that money bought for him.

What, exactly, did the Bush administration do for Enron...besides but them behind bars?

The Bush Administration put Enron behind bars?

Enron put itself behind bars by its foolish decision to file Bankruptcy and thereby give up its financial privacy. Had they not done that, none of this ever would have seen the light of day, and Kenny Boy would still be a free man today.

Btw, you do know who gave him that nickname, don't you?

Enron incriminated itself (not until after Clinton left office, btw). Once the cat was out of the bag, the Bush Administration had no choice. I suspect that Kenny Boy will get either a slap on the wrist by way of sentence, or a pardon from W on the way out the door.

I can't help but notice that you failed to answer the question. What favors did the Bush administration do for Enron. I really couldn't care less if they played golf. That means nothing.

Kenny Boy was the only energy exec who met personally with Cheney regarding Cheney's energy commission. Don't pretend you didn't know that.

You mean other than allowing them to assrape California citizens with their Ponzi schemes?

You fucking crack me up. Ken Lay, with Dubya and the GOP's approval, soaked you PERSONALY for thousands of dollars in unnecessary electricity costs and you're in here DEFENDING THEM?

The vast majority of Republican voters are voting against their own self-interests and don't even realize it. Nothing new in that regard.

I must lend credibility to the legal teams behind the recent prosecutions on the white collar corporate set. I sort of expected one or two hold outs on the jury, for this case and others, but somehow they pulled through with convictions.

That is quite the effort set forth on the trial. Then again, the Govt has the resources. Still, from a lawyer's point of view, they accomplished what they needed to do and I'm impressed.......

PSUFAN · Post by **PSUFAN** » Sat May 27, 2006 3:44 am

Agreed. The government laywers stared down the well-heeled cadre of defense lawyers and dressed them down.

The Bush/Cheney cabal, (AKA "Chenron") was joined at the hip with Enron. It was the concerted effort of Lay in his defacto role as Energy Advisor to attack Bush's most viable opponent--Gray Davis--with the malicious looting of California. The meetings which took place between Lay and Cheney have been the center of a legal fight which has itself precipitated the entire subsequent Emergancy Powers style of the Chimp since 9/11. Cheney would as soon reveal the minutes of these meetings as be hung by the neck--which is exactly what he deserves in his Nuremberg-like trial forthcoming, step by step.

Thomas White, a top executive of Enron, was duly inserted into the Chenron works as Secy of the Army, preparing huge "deregulated" contracts for Enron before the walls came down and he had to go.

The downside to Lay and Skilling getting caged for life is that the full enormity of Enron's essential criminality--leading straight back to the Reagan crew and the "magic of the market" deregulation--will now be left to fade, as though it was just a couple of greedy crooks (....and the nation's largest and most venerable accounting firm....and several of the largest, most reputable banks....and investment firms...hmmm)
