Hey Bush!!! Want to provide a service to America.

Clean this douchebag up, prop him up for a nice photo op and frame it and put it out for the American public.

We want to see the body a la Zarcawi. We want to know the wicked witch really is dead.

What_is_farking_wrong_with_you_people

all i hope is that he really IS dead.
too bad is wasn't slower & more painful.

As I understand it, few things are more painful than a heart attack.

BrotherTheodore: They should sell off ALL his body parts to pay off his legal debts.
Give his wife his used underwear to bury.

We could do like they did in the old days.

Reposess and auction everything he owned regardless of the will until the debt was paid. And if that doesn't cover it, take his family into bondage and make them work the debt off.

Ipberg		2006-07-05 10:37:28 AM

I wouldn't be surprised if it was suicide.

I wonder what Conrad Black is thinking.

milk_plus		2006-07-05 10:37:32 AM

I know this doesn't come up often but where is it written that we cannot incarcerate a corpse? As long as we don't give him a life sentence or the death penalty I say we're in the clear.

miamivine		2006-07-05 10:37:46 AM

that's one way to avoid paying back what you owe

redj		2006-07-05 10:37:59 AM

i hope frito won't take this too badly.

/less than nothin

OMG teh HIllary Killton has a thirteen-year cycle!

Hollywood Cole		2006-07-05 10:38:08 AM

DeltaXi65: I am so pissed that this guy died. He should have lived to 100 and spent every farking day from now until then staring at his 5 by 5 cell walls......with an 11' long by 4' around endowed cellmate.

fixed it for you.

FlashHarry		2006-07-05 10:38:13 AM

And I thought he "...accidentally brutally cut his head off while combing his hair."
/obscure?

Tahmineh		2006-07-05 10:38:25 AM

he totally pussed out. he should have rotted in jail for 20 years or so before beginning his rot in hell. guess some people just aren't tough enough to handle consequences of their own actions. if you can't do the time, don't do the crime I guess the old cliche' goes.

Pair-o-Dice		2006-07-05 10:38:27 AM

SLAM!, time served - exit stage left to hell.

/justice after all

AliasUndercover		2006-07-05 10:38:36 AM

It was natural causes. Sometimes people just explode like that.

Car RamRod		2006-07-05 10:38:36 AM

USAToday is reporting it was a heart attack....

rugerredhawk		2006-07-05 10:38:49 AM

He got what he deserved, no golden years to enjoy the wealth he stole.

It's also possible he would devulge embarrassing details to avoid spending his golden years in prison, which would make it necessary to "make it look natural" . . .

No honor among theives.

FarkmeBlind		2006-07-05 10:39:04 AM

Isn't it sad when Sonny Bono was in better shape that Lay? At least Bono died while skiing. Who dies at a ski resort in the summer? Wanker.

/Maroon Bells is a gorgeous hike

grahams		2006-07-05 10:39:11 AM

Why exactly was sentencing scheduled for Sept 11th?

It sounds a little like someone is trying to mitigate negative publicity by running it on a day that the public is bound to be focussing on something else.

BunkoSquad		2006-07-05 10:39:39 AM

FlashHarry: And I thought he "...accidentally brutally cut his head off while combing his hair." /obscure?

Did he live in a rotten borough?

Stereolab		2006-07-05 10:39:48 AM

How do we arrange for Fred Phelps to show up at his funeral? I'm sure that, somehow, Ken Lay's death was because God hates fags.

Sunny Ray		2006-07-05 10:39:50 AM

Perhaps we should send this thread to the family as a form of a sympathy card.

EliWho		2006-07-05 10:39:52 AM

And he died on July 4th! SO GOOD! This country is the best.

Good call on the fake-death stuff, though. Someone keep an eye on Halle Berry, just in case.

/Has anyone not seen Swordfish?
//Really?

IdBeCrazyIf		2006-07-05 10:39:58 AM

Hollywood Cole: with an 11' long by 4' around endowed cellmate.

Soooo Lex Steele?

Tradskinzd		2006-07-05 10:40:15 AM

I bet that pussyshiat killed himself.

debriefing_and_cocktails		2006-07-05 10:40:17 AM

anyone who claims to be "down to their last $20 million" is just taking up space.

FarkmeBlind		2006-07-05 10:40:45 AM

FarkmeBlind: Isn't it sad ~~when~~ that Sonny Bono was...

Thisbymaster		2006-07-05 10:40:54 AM

His heart had a problem after the poison he took.

jankyboy		2006-07-05 10:41:15 AM

they should sentence that bastard posthumously.

UncleDirtNap		2006-07-05 10:41:15 AM

I guess God finally checked to see where his retirement money got invested.

What Your Dog Wants		2006-07-05 10:41:31 AM

EliWho - Someone keep an eye on Halle Berry, just in case.

I call dibs on this task.

chiett		2006-07-05 10:41:36 AM

Have some respect for the dead.

Yea, I miss Jerry Garcia too !

Demetrius: Hoardes of Enron investors get their wish.

Rotting in FPMITA prison would have been better.

PatGund		2006-07-05 10:41:55 AM

What a.......convenient.........death.

germ78		2006-07-05 10:42:10 AM

You can't take it with you, Ken.

$$$$ - Not yours.

SherKhan		2006-07-05 10:42:50 AM

What I find most extraordinary
The heartless had a coronary
Like my mama always said
"Never speak ill of the dead"
So Ken Lay away did pass
I'll beat no dead horse nor this ass.

Daniels		2006-07-05 10:42:59 AM

I overslept today, but my headline would have been "Ken Lay fakes death; avoids sentencing"

MWeather		2006-07-05 10:43:08 AM

I for one am deeply saddened by his death. He didn't deserve it. He deserved to die in prison, preferably after years of ailing health.

Meat's dream		2006-07-05 10:43:33 AM

How dare you people take delight in the death of another human? Have you no heart? Have you no respect for the feelings of his poor family, who just lost their main breadwinner?

Oh wait, scratch that. It was Ken Lay. Fark him and may he smoke a turd in hell.

Hollywood Cole		2006-07-05 10:43:42 AM

jankyboy: they should sentence that bastard posthumously.

Agreed! He doesn't get a funeral and laid to "rest". Put him in a box like Lenin and set him up in downtown Houston so everyone can come by and spit on him.

sstidman		2006-07-05 10:44:17 AM

Weren't his buddies supposed to stand trial, too. Does anyone know if this will affect the trials of his buddies?

/Obviously not up on this story

Tyee		2006-07-05 10:44:24 AM

So he cheats justice again, damn he's good.

Jack31081		2006-07-05 10:44:34 AM

Ding! Lay is dead
Ding! Lay is dead
Ding! Lay is dead
Ding! Lay is dead
I work at Burger King
Used to work at Enron
Til Ken Lay farked us
Do you think I really give a shiat
Do you think I really give a shiat

Tradskinzd		2006-07-05 10:44:54 AM

He should be buried in the prison yard until his time is served.

His family may do as they wish with the corpse after that.

/fark ken lay
//ken lay screwed more people than Wilt Chamberlain

vernonFL		2006-07-05 10:45:15 AM

Just before he died, he asked Jesus for forgiveness and now he is in heaven getting his wings.

FarkmeBlind		2006-07-05 10:45:26 AM

Meat's dream: Fark him and may he smoke a turd in hell.

After following Cerberus around for week with a Baggie trying to recover his stash?

Matt Foley		2006-07-05 10:45:53 AM

Dear Law-knowing Farkers,
If he was found guilty on 19 of 28 charges or whatever, why wasn't he in jail, rather than at home waiting for sentencing in the fall. Isn't it more common to serve the time, then have time served taken off? Or is there another way of looking at it?

Pollexabator		2006-07-05 10:45:57 AM

My fantasy...

sigdiamond2000		2006-07-05 10:45:59 AM

Did nerfball of all people actually come in this thread and cry about Fark not being "lighthearted" enough?

ObscureNameHere		2006-07-05 10:45:59 AM

StrikitRich thus saeith:
"Better shoot him just to make sure."

I thought a nuke from orbit was the only way to be sure?

vegaschuck		2006-07-05 10:46:13 AM

He lived the good life...

reverend_frag		2006-07-05 10:46:37 AM

nerfball
my feelings aren't hurt in the least. actually, i feel sad for people who allow themselves to be consumed by such vile and hateful sentiments.

you know, pity is the purest form of hate.
