1. Yes. However...
I'm only 99% convinced.

Had he motive to fake his death? Duh.

13. If he's dead, he's not dead enough.

17. Yes, revive his dead ass so we can kill him again
and again and again... let his victims choose the methods of his repeated dispatch.

2. I'd make up my mind if there were an open-casket public viewing.
Edited on Sat Jul-08-06 01:09 AM by Octafish
Until then, I refuse to take the family's -- er, I mean -- the Bush Crime Family's word on it.

Of course, I don't automatically believe the guy didn't die.

We may never know either way, once they cremate the crook.

Sigh. "If a country can put Zarqawi's head on the 5 O'Clock News, the biggest swindler ever deserves equal time."

"Hasn't anybody
heard of face transplants?
Heh heh heh."

3. Considering that we're talking about the
Bush Crime Family, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that Kenny boy has a new identity and a new home in a very remote location where he'll live out his days in luxurious seclusion. Faced with the prospect of a long prison sentence, I think the coward cut and ran, assisted by friends in high places.

4. Do I think he is dead? Yeah. From natural causes? . . .
Well if Clinton can be blamed for murders to this very day, (Vince Foster!!!!111) I guess I would give equal time to Chimpolini, who politically could not pardon "Kenny Boy" and deny his friendship and needed to shut him up.

5. other: yes he's dead, and it's a conspiracy
i think it's entirely possible that he was assasinated, because they didn't want him to talk. he had become a liability.

6. "It's all a conspiracy" sounds dismissive, frankly.
The guy had the means, the money and the motive, bigtime.

I think it'd be stupid to say, "Oh, okay, he's dead if you say so- and you cremated the body. Sure. See ya!"

7. My wife relieved the ER nurse who was working that night...He's dead.

She did not see the body, though...it was already headed to the coroner.

15. Thanks for the inside info.
The fact that there are so many DUers (and other internet junkies) in so many places is going to be the reason why another Bush administration is extremely unlikely to ever happen again. Unless the powerful succeed in controlling the internet, it will be impossible for a small group of evil people to control the country merely by cheating and managing and manipulating the mass media.

8. I have a little doubt
But I am mostly convinced that he is. You can never exclude any possibilities.

9. Yes
Bad guys do occasionally drop dead - unfortunately, not en masse.

11. Kenny boy has a new identity
Lay knew way too much on the Bushies. Either they hastened his earthly departure or he is lying on a sandy beach right now. I too would have to view the remains to be sure. Add one more to the list...Elvis, Alien, and Lay sightings.

12. No I don't
Edited on Sat Jul-08-06 03:44 AM by Raine
I think he is off on some island somewhere maybe the same one Elvis is on. :yoiks:


EDIT: Seriously I think he is dead but I think he had someone help him along cause he knew too much and they didn't want him blabbing.

14. I said maybe but leaning toward "he skipped town."
I truly hope that Ken Lay is right now excercising his energy trading expertise in the fiery coal pits of Hell.

It is looking more an more suspicious however. Can't the prosecuters require proof of death, DNA or something to make sure he's "really most sincerely dead?"

16. Lacking positive information & knowing what bushco is capable of,
I have to go with "maybe".

18. That bitch is somewhere laying on an island right now waiting for
the plastic surgeon to come alter his features.

Dubais built some man-made islands shaped like the leaves of a palm tree. Everything is in total luxury. That's the kind of place Lay is in.
