Prez Hopes Lay’s Heart Was Right With God

That’s what George W. Bush said on Larry King last night. "You know,” our folksy born-again God-anointed President said, speaking about Enron Corp. founder and betrayer of the innocent Kenneth Lay, “my hope is that his heart was right with the Lord”. And as any God-fearing, self-righteous, Bible-thumper knows, being right with God means having confessed your sins to God and having asked Him for forgiveness. Oddly, though, what we have here are two people who see themselves as sinless: George W. Bush and Ken Lay. So neither one could confess his sins and ask for forgiveness because neither can see he’s done anything wrong. But one goes on national television and in order to appear just a tad more holy than God Himself, piously hopes that the one other sinless person in the world was right with God when he went to his reward. And, just in case God had gone out for a cup of coffee and neglected to pass judgment Himself, Little Jesus of the White House pronounced that Lay was “a good guy”. I can only assume the Almighty was laughing his ass off, or He would have knocked the pious putz off his chair with a camera boom and electrocuted him then and there.
