Enron's Ken Lay Dead at 64

Facing a possible life sentence in prison for committing fraud and conspiracy in the collapse of Enron, the largest corporate scandal in American history, Kenneth "Kenny Boy" Lay had a massive coronary today at his luxurious vacation home in Aspen, Colorado.

Lay, who helped build Enron into the seventh largest company in the nation, famously funded George W. Bush's political career. Because of Enron's collapse after an accounting scandal, thousands of workers lost their jobs and their life savings and billions of dollars were lost by investors; meanwhile Lay and his cronies enriched themselves with millions of dollars in sold stock.

Nice guy. If only Dubya would follow his lead and drop dead.

Some guys will do anything to get out of sentencing. This is I think the only time I have ever read an obituary and said, "Good."
