That song is now stuck in my head.

[displacedtexan]

6. Skilling guilty on 18 counts.

According to Dan Abrams.

[HeeBGBz]

7. Smack! n/t

[tridim]

8. Bush pardon to follow..

Anyone know how this'll work? Does he have to wait to pardon them? Or can he do it today?

[diamondsndust]

22. I had the same thought...

if shrub does pardon... take to the streets!!!

[cascadiance]

34. Ah!!! That's the reason they went through with the trial verdict NOW!

If they waited too long, he wouldn't be able to get a pardon from Pelosi in 2007!

[gratuitous]

47. Bush can pardon them anytime he wants

And the power is absolute and unreviewable. He even could have pardoned them before trial, just like his old man did for Cap Weinberger and Eliot Abrams.

[stopbush]

9. Clear cut victory for the gov...fact that the jury came back so quickly

shows evidence against them was overwhelming.

So sez some commentator on CNN right now.

[Philosoraptor]

10. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[etherealtruth]

11. Wow

I was afraid they would 'get off"

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. only wish

the poor folks who lost everything could get a piece of Lay's fortune.

[stop the bleeding]

13. JUSTICE!!!!! nominated n/t

[bunny planet]

14. Could this actually be, at long last,

[WolverineDG]

20. Hi Bunny!!

:woohoo: :bounce: :bounce: :woohoo:

[bunny planet]

43. I am jumping up and down and screaming out my window.

Please let this be the beginning of the end for these nightmarish crooks and criminals.
Any pics of Booosh with Kenny boy, those need to get trotted out right about now.

[Jigarotta]

49. no pics, but I have this

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0708042lay1.html

been saving it for this special occasion.

Kenny?, why I hardly know the guy! lol

[bunny planet]

52. Oh I've forgotten about the letter.

Send it to Olbermann. I'll try and get the email address that he actually checks, the [e-mail] is not the one he looks at. Knowing KO, he's already got the letter and is ready to put it on screen tonight.

Wowie wow wow, these verdicts are great news.

[Jigarotta]

54. plural.... letters.

tee hee.
just read through them.

Kenny? Kenny who?

:rofl:

[WolverineDG]

65. Better than that, Bunny

Find pics of shrubbie on the Enron plane during the 2000 campaign!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

dg

[bunny planet]

67. Could it be........

that this is about to come tumbling down

[Binka]

25. YES BUNNY! I BURST INTO TEARS!

Take that you fucking robber barons. So it began with Enron in 2001 and so the end comes starting with Enron. The wheels are fully off the car and the engine just dropped into the street.

[bunny planet]

42. I'm crying too.

We are all starved for the truth, so when it seems to get a little bit closer to being revealed it is a very cathartic experience.

[stopbush]

15. 100 years of jail for Lay!!!

So sez guy on CNN

[Philosoraptor]

!!!!!!!!!!

[Reader Rabbit]

16. Outstanding, but can/will they appeal?

I want to see these guys in prison so badly, but they've definitely got the funds to put it off for some time, at the very least.

[diamondsndust]

41. I would love to see them stripped of all their ill gotten wealth,

and the money given to all those poor folks who lost their retirement money. These friggin' criminal pigs should be forced to live in poverty for the rest of their natural born lives.

[joeunderdog]

62. If they don't appeal, then you know the Pardon Fix is IN! nt

[magellan]

17. I guess I get to open that champagne after all!

:woohoo:

[stop the bleeding]

24. ditto and don't forget to pick up another for Rove !!! woohoo is right n/t

[July]

18. Did Bush ever pronounce an opinion on Lay's guilt?

Am I dreaming that he said he thought he would be found innocent?

[WolverineDG]

66. Shrubbie sez:

Ken Lay? Who's that?

dg

[carolinalady]

19. Skilling-not guilty on insider trading n/t

[Philosoraptor]

21. Ken may die in prison

[ThatsMyBarack]

23. I like! I like!

:bounce: :wow: :loveya: :yourock: :applause: :woohoo:

[cascadiance]

26. Yes!!!

How soon do we get to see the orange suit along with the cuffs?

[sendero]

27. Let the appeals ..

... process begin :) Seriously, will these asses be free while they appeal ?

[npincus]

28. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[ArbustoBuster]

29. And I thought he would get away with it.

I've never been so happy to be wrong! :)

[puerco-bellies]

30. I'm speechless. There is still justice somewhere in America.

This gives me hope that those now in power may someday be held accountable.

[speedoo]

31. per CNBC, they are guilty on all counts, except..

The insider trading charges vs. Skilling. Lay guilty on all counts.

Harvey Pitt says the not guilty finding will make it very tough for defense to prevail, because it shows the jury was able to discriminate.

These bastards will be in jail for most of the rest of their lives. Finally, some justice in this case.

[sendero]

32. I cannot help but think..

.... you are seeing yet more repudiation of Republican corruption in this verdict. I expected some guilty verdicts, but not on all counts.

[kentuck]

33. This is monumental !

Corporate schemers all across the nation take notice. You can go to jail.

[bigscott]

39. not monumental

it's HUGH! I am Series:woohoo:

[kentuck]

46. You are rite. It is Hugh!

Im series about that. :)

[DemReadingDU]

35. WooHoo, Guilty!

Time to go after Bush and this administration. They are running our country like Enron!

[Xenotime]

36. GUILTY!!!!!!!!!

GUILTY!!!!!!!!!GUILTY!!!!!!!!!

YES!

[alfredo]

37. Bend over Kenny.

[saltpoint]

38. Not a good moment at all for the Bush administration.

And not a good moment in American history either, when a huge and influential corporation's chief officers are found so comprehensively guilty of these charges.

I don't know how much consolation this will be for the men and women whose life savings were gutted by the greed of these two top fat cats.

[Mandate My Ass]

40. Hope springs eternal

GO to Jail! Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $2,000,000,000,000,000.00

Thieving bastids going down! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[PA Democrat]

44. Guilty verdict for Lay on separate case involving bank fraud

Per MSNBC, the judge in another separate trial involving bank fraud charges held back on announcing the verdict in that case until after the second trial was over.

[MadHound]

45. Great news!

And old Kenny boy still won't get that 1.1 million he endowed to the University of Missouri. Last week he was pleading poverty and wanting his money back, the university told him to go away:rofl: However they still haven't filled the chair that he endowed(and named after himself), though they've had plenty of serious applicants. Something about the name is turning them off, and I believe that the university administration is going to rename it.

Now let's throw the bastards in with the general prison population and truly justice will have been served.

[Sadie5]

48. How many years?

can we expect the sentence to be???Anyone got any idea?

[mvd]

60. I heard at least 10 for Lay

15-25 for Skilling.

:bounce:

[Binka]

50. Sentencing On 9-11

POW!

[tenshi816]

59. Looks like we've got

some celebrating to do!

[Binka]

64. Indeed My Friend

Enron was the beginning of the corpo greed fest and it is fitting that these guys go down first. Interesting Tobin made the comment that once the DOJ gets an indictment they are 95% successful in getting a GUILTY verdict. Ya hear that KARL?

[earth mom]

51. Maybe there IS a God! AND...Up Next: the BFEE!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[Triana]

55. NEXT...

...Scooter
...Cunningham
...Foggo
...Rove
...DeLay
...Cheney
...Gonzalez
...Abramoff
...Hastert...

TOSS THE BOOK at them. In addition, I'd love to see them ALL whacked upside the head with a REALLY HEAVY copy of the Constitution of the United States of America. They don't seem to understand that it exists. Maybe if they got slammed upside their arrogant, vacuum-packed gourds with it, they'd get half a clue.

Then again...maybe not.

[DemReadingDU]

56. They make their own rules

and people will vote for the same crooked politicians again.

I may be less cyncial after the election in 2006.

[Triana]

58. If no one deals with the voting machines and the lamestream media..

...may as well forget it.

[DemReadingDU]

68. Those voting machines

should be thrown in the ocean, and we vote by pen & paper in next election!

[alfredo]

57. Fox is covering Natalie Holloway.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

61. Go directly to jail.

Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

[Imagevision]

63. Go directly to jail? NO!, don't be silly Lay will remain free on bond

awaiting appeal and for 1/08 to roll around when Bush annonces his long list of pardonee's with Lay's name at the the top of the list...

[girl gone mad]

69. Yep.

Bush already knows he's despised and doesn't care. Cheney's not running in 08. I can't think of any reason Bush wouldn't pardon these crooks.
