Bush Rewrites History on LayPosted on Jul 7, 2006
President Bush told Larry King that deceased Enron founder Ken Lay was “a good guy.” That’s just patently false. A jury confirmed as much. And as for Lay’s crimes, Bush said he was “disappointed.”

In the same Larry King interview, he said he would rather be right than popular. The problem is: he is neither! The vast majority of the American people now think the invasion of Iraq was wrong, 66% think the nation is headed in the wrong direction, international opinion sees the invasion as illegal, and it goes on and on. Only history will judge the rightness of his administration, and I predict it will not be favorable. His popularity is in the ditch, his likability, which was not that great to start with, has turned sour, the outside world sees him as an arrogant, war mongering, Texas gun slinger and a hypocrite. So, at this moment in time, he is neither right, nor popular!

Bush is not in touch with reality. Lay was a buddy and a major political campaign contributor and Bush’s “loyalty” to his buddies is well known.
Bush will also probably deny that he dumped the Cheney plan in today’s press conference in Chicago when he said that we need a diplomatic solution to the problems with North Korea.

Yep, he was a good man in his place; fortunately, it is now being dug!

Not too tough a task to be “...a generous person...” WHEN YOU’RE USING SOMEONE ELSE’S MONEY!
With each passing day I find myself more astonished as disgusting layer after layer (or should that be liar after liar) is peeled from this stinking batch of rotting onions that will go down in history as the sorriest bunch of left-over Neanderthals that ever held office.
At least Lay was accused of a “lapse of judgement” (not that it was true.) That label won’t stick to GWB & Co… you can’t have a “lapse” of something you didn’t have in the first place.
