Should I really be surprised that Ken Lay has invoked the "a few bad apples" defense to absolve himself of blaim for the fall of the house of Enron? After all, what's good for his buddy George Bush must be good enough for him? One wouldn't want to set a precedent among Chief Executives that the president would have to stand up to...
At least Lay had the decency to say he "accepted responsibility", which is head and shoulders above what old George "Teflon" Bush has ever done. If Bush is to be believed not one mistake has been made by his administration, and not one bad thing or misfortune that has occurred since he took power is his responsibility. However I ask myself, if Lay accepts responsibility what does that mean if there is no consequence for doing so? It's like saying sorry for something that you had no blame for - its pure empathy.
