De mortuis nil nisi bonum

How delusional can people get? At a funeral for the guy who was responsible for the biggest bankruptcy in American history (at least to that point), this delusional:

The Reverend Dr. Bill Lawson compared Lay with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ, and said his name would eventually be cleared.

More quotes? Sure! Lawson again: "The folks who don't like him have had their say. I'd like to have mine ... (Like Jesus Christ) he was crucified by a government that mistreated him."

Mick Seidl, longtime friend: "Overzealous federal prosecutors have vilified an exceedingly good man ... They did so without visible efforts to seek the truth, and the media piled on. It was total character assassination ... I do know Ken would never intentionally do anything illegal."

Words fail me.

I like the Guardian headline... not delusional in the least.

I heard about this on Air America - I thought they were joking, silly me. . .
