Noted at Ken Lay's funeral. Special appearance by the Bush cabal:

Former President George Bush and his wife, Barbara, sat in the second row. Also present were former Secretary of State James Baker and former Secretary of Commerce Rob Mosbacher.

Hmm. The father of the man who denied he was supported by the man who supported him the most, and the man who engineered that man's 2000 non-election.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Also in keeping with recent comparisons of Ken Lay to Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr: "The Rev. Bill Lawson, pastor of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, likened Lay to James Byrd, an African-American man who was dragged to death in a racially motivated murder near Jasper eight years ago. 'Ken Lay was neither black nor poor as James Byrd was,' Rev. Bill Lawson said. 'But I'm angry because he was the victim of a lynching.'"

Yeah, I know it's a funeral and the speakers feel the need to really pour it on — but this is Ken Grandma-Millie-Fucking Lay we're talking about. Ken Lay is no James Byrd, not even remotely close. Not even in the same universe.

The public sycophants can wring the crocodile tears from their handkerchiefs all day, but not one among them is weeping for the people Lay deceived and defrauded.
