eMeg: now with more bad business

e-meg-surreal

It’s not secret that former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is running for governor on the hackneyed campaign slogan/promise that she will run California like a business.

Yes, eMeg, she who famously bought Skype but forgot to buy the source code or intellectual property rights when she plunked down $2.5 billion for it in 2005, essentially buying, well, nothing. Later new eBay management was able to sell whatever it was that eBay owned back to the founders for $1 billion. Anyway, she wants to bring that sort of expertise to running California. Hooray!

Because it certainly must be better than her parenting skills.

(Via Gawker: read all the links. It’s appalling.)

UPDATE 1: HuffPo condenses eMeg’s book, um, for your reading pleasure. (HT: SkinnyDennis)

    Steve Pozner complaining to the AG [who must be laughing his ass off] that Whitman’s people are trying to force him to drop out of the primary.

    She kinda looks like Ahnuld.

  3. Bruce388:

    After being subjected to Christine Todd Whitman’s misrule in New Jersey, the phrase “Whitman for Governor” brings back BAD memories.

  4. Dimitrios:

    moeman, you just slandered Ahnuld.

    Congratulations, that’s hard to do.

  5. SkinnyDennis:

    Tex was here!

  6. SkinnyDennis:

    Thanks Tex. I’m predicting she will replace Babs on the one dallah bill.

    Good God, is that Ed McMahon in drag?
