Another bedroom farce
The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Fred Barnes and others claim Clinton had Ken Lay for a White House sleepover. One problem: Wrong president.

In the echo chamber of the 24-hour news cycle, lies and deception can quickly metastasize from rumor to conventional wisdom due merely to repetition. The latest example of this is a false claim that former Enron CEO Ken Lay stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House during the Clinton administration. Despite a complete lack of evidence that this took place, irresponsible or malicious journalists have repeated this lie so often that it is on its way to being accepted as fact.
The newest perpetrator of the claim is Patrice Hill of the Washington Times, who asserts in her story Thursday that "evidence of Mr. Lay’s links to the Clinton administration are ample and well-documented," including that Lay "at times was Mr. Clinton’s golf partner and slept in the Lincoln Bedroom."
Hill evidently failed to consult the original Clinton Lincoln Bedroom guest list from February 1997, the July 1999-August 2000 list or the OpenSecrets.org White House Coffee and Sleep-over Database. Ken Lay’s name appears on none of these lists.
