through the looking glass
CHICAGO (AP) -- Boeing Co. on Monday said its board "asked for and received" the resignation of President and Chief Executive Officer Harry Stonecipher because of a relationship Stonecipher had with a female executive at the company.
Boeing said an internal investigation prompted by information sent anonymously to Chairman Lew Platt and the company's legal and ethics leaders 10 days ago revealed a "consensual" relationship between Stonecipher and the female executive..
"The Board concluded that the facts reflected poorly on Harry's judgment and would impair his ability to lead the company,"
I'm shocked! What is wrong with this Boeing?!!? Surely they can't be so fascist as to be implying that this is anything but sex, can they? It's a personal matter. what part of his judgment would be impaired by getting a little cootchie on the side?
I look forward to the Democratic National Committee, assorted Democrat Senators and Representatives and the NYTimes to step up to Mr. Stonecipher's defence. I'm sure AlGore and Frank Rich will take the lead. And hopefully Jessie Jackson can counsel him in the meantime.
And N.O.W., surely they must be outraged!!
