NutMeg Whitman: "Setting New Lows in CEO Incompetence" (The Street)

HP is plunging towards a "Kodak Moment"

HP's Meg Whitman Setting New Lows in CEO Incompetence

In technology, once you leave a CEO post and enter the political arena as a candidate for something bigger than the school board, you should be prohibited from returning to tech-- or any other space for that matter-- in any leadership capacity.

That would have saved us from Meg Whitman....

On Thursday morning, David Faber, Melissa Lee and Jim Cramer did everything they could to get Whitman to answer the tough questions on CNBC. ...

The performance was beyond abysmal. Other than saying what amounts to trust us, she offered absolutely no reason why anybody in his or her right mind should buy HPQ stock.

Whitman fronted CNBC, with no business strategy whatsoever, just talking points. "We're not complete fools, Meg. We can see right through it."

I could have told them this is what happens when you hire a complete idiot as CEO.
