His big initiative as their CEO was to acquire Dresser Industries, complete with a great big asbestos liability.
He seems like a malevolent version of Peter Sellers' character in "Being There." It's like he's a total dumb ass who conveys an air of tremendous competence. He has no clue about the world around him but everyone thinks he's a genius.
For those who haven't seen "Being There", please do. It's one of Peter Sellers' best movies, and that's saying something. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/ |
What's definite is the guy can't win. He's blasted for being associated with Halliburton, now he's denigrated for not doing enough for Halliburton. Ironic that he doesn't own Halliburton stock yet is ridiculed for it and Mr. Moore and Al Gore both own Halliburton stock and aren't ridiculed for it.
I'm amazed that we see the same news programs and read the same stories.
