Not good enough. Brinker needs to step down completely.

1. agreed, Brinker needs to go.

2. I don't think any changes can save them, now. Too little, too late.

Too much light has been shed on that organization. I am actually repulsed when I see the pink ribbon paraphernalia now.

4. They are a damaged brand.

Unless those ribbons say "We support Planned Parenthood" on them, they're toast.

[calimary]

7. Good. And they earned every bit of that damage.

This move isn't good enough.

3. Will she still draw a $500K salary?

Living to disgrace her sister's memory.

5. And if you believe their line about...

....the shake-up being unrelated to the Planned Parenthood controversy, I have the following items for sale;

6. "Komen Founder and CEO Nancy Brinker will shift to a new management role

as chair of the Komen Board Executive Committee..."

Also known as "pulling a Romney" since she'll still be the owner (presumably with all the perks).

But don't be surprised if she makes it retroactive back to February 2012.

8. Until that RW liar Brinker is gone, pink ribbons will be anathema to fundraising.

It may already be too late. She really disrespected her sister's memory, and hurt so many woman, particularly present and future breast cancer patients. Her continued lying ("this has nothing to do with Planned Parenthood&quot shows she has not changed nor is she contrite in any way. To hell with her.

9. Careful, the mere utterance of SGK in this thread may result in civil litigation... n/t

10. For-profit charity, LOL. NBC sucks too.

The repukes at SGK are just that, people who make others feel like vomiting. They are societal predators. NBC is also the worst corporate group of MSMedia whores.

F both!

11. Somewhere I read

That 80% of komen money goes for salary and expenses and only 20% goes to their causes.

Not sure it's true.

[tammywammy]

12. That's incorrect

14. Add those up and it is OVER 100%

[Panasonic]

13. In other words, rearranging chairs in a Titanic...

Okay.... Brinker has to go, or Komen folds. No question about it. Brinkman continues to dishonor her own sister's memory.

[marions ghost]

15. One of the reasons why

women's health care cannot be left in the hands of partisan organizations.

Who's going to lose here? Women seeking help.

My opinion of this group has plummeted.

[AtomicKitten]

16. Well that was certainly a delayed move. Too little too late as far as I'm concerned.
