Whatever sentence Ken Lay gets he has put himself in the running for the Richard Nixon Torch Song Trophy. His post conviction press opportunity was one of the more revolting displays of false religiosity in recent years. And the competition is always getting tougher.
I know we in New England are heathen infidels but give us credit. If one of ours started bringing Jesus and God into his peak moment of shame we would turn away in nauseated embarrassment. A real New Englander wouldn't have had a Jim and Tammy moment, they'd have put a jacket over their head and fled the cameras.
As if Lay and Skillings hadn't taken enough. Couldn't the world have been spared this spectacle of plastic piety?
