Kenny Boy

Funny isn't it? Ken Lay and Boy George were awfully tight in the good old days but now that the jury has convicted Lay on all six counts for his part in the Enron debacle, well, as Jon Stewart would say: eeh... not so much. Bob Somerby had it right all along, the media had/has it in for Clinton/Gore and has given (and continues to a great extent to give) the Bush man a free ride.

Pathetic... The big story of the day is that Chimpy's former BFF and largest contributor Kenneth Lay was found by a jury of his peers of committing multiple felonies and yet the name Lay did not grace the lips of any of today's gagglers.

That story was never of any interest to the press corps. (Perhaps if Kenny Boy had worn a striking yellow pantsuit things would have been different.) The fact that the biggest campaign contributor to the occupant of the white house was in charge of the biggest corporate ponzi scheme in history should have been news. It wasn't.
