if you're going to say something ridiculous, why not go for maximum effect?

yeah, so disgraced excecutive (and, if memory serves, a convicted felon) Kenneth Lay is memorialized at his service and this happened:

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.

riiiiiiight. something must have gotten lost in the translation there. or maybe the Reverend got a little carried away. it happens.

I liked the comment from the former employee better: he was a good man that did a bad thing. not sure that makes him a good man.

I think that means he was just a man. and if his bad thing had far reaching negative consequences for a lot of people, doesn't that make him a bad man?
just asking.
