So, when you think of the life and times of Kenny Boy Lay, what do you think of?
Swindler?
Fraud?
Convicted criminal?
Destroyer of retiree's savings?
All of the above?
Well, apparently not everyone feels that way, because at his funeral today Mr. Lay was compared, favourably, to four men that most people would never associate with the above descriptors.
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," Lawson said. "But I'm angry because he was the victim of a lynching." Lawson, who also spoke at Lay's Colorado memorial service, likened the businessman to President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Jesus — all of whom, the minister said, were wrongly victimized.
Sure thing.
And up really is down......
