But wait... All the DUMmies kept telling us that Bush was going to cover for his oil buddies...that there was no WAY Lay would ever be convicted? HOW CAN THIS BE?

The Listkeeper -
I think the Dems will simply claim that Bush will pardon them. There are, after all, precedents by presidents of both parties. Clinton recently, and Ford of Nixon, just to name two examples.

Ford of Nixon
Oddly, this was used as a reason that Bush should pardon Clinton...

Lay's insurmountable problem was the failure to get his trial separated from Skilling's.
In the great labyrinth of Enron schemes, Lay was the guy who wandered about the hallways being very careful not to ask anyone what they were doing. Certainly he is guilty of misfeasance and nonfeasance, but probably not the principal author of fraud. Being tried with Skilling, who was in the middle of most of the fraudulent "partnership" arrangements that hid the company's true financial condition, put him in an almost impossible situation.
The irony is that the real manipulators who concocted the whole bogus plan, Fastow and his wife, got off easy with a plea bargain.
There will be appeals, but with little likelihood of success. Once the jury has come back, you can no longer argue the facts, and it is doubtful the prosecution or the court violated any precept of law.
