Evil, ancient, reptilian bastard Jack Welch to write Business Week column

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

January 20, 2006 -- Jack Welch, the former General Electric Co. chief who led the company for 20 years before stepping down in 2001, will write an advice column for BusinessWeek, the magazine said. One of the questions being tackled in the first column, in the Jan. 30 edition on newsstands today, came from a recently promoted senior executive, Welch said yesterday in an interview. In essence, Welch said the neophyte executive asks "What do I do now?"

"Everybody's got their first-time management challenge," Welch, 70, said from his office in Boston. "We try and pick out the most generic question that can be helpful to the broadest audience."

"The Welch Way," will be co-written with his wife, Suzy, a former Harvard Business Review editor, and will appear every other week, the magazine said.

Welch, who now works as a consultant, will answer business and career questions from readers, Stephen Adler, the magazine's editor in chief, said in the statement.

1. From the picture, it looks like

the first column will be "How to squeeze your competition's testicles like grapes".

2. Jack Welch is a devoted Repug activist

The scumbag gets his jollies by "converting" liberals. He has declared in the past that "you can turn liberals into Republicans by throwing money at them," that basically everything is for sale, including political convictions.

His two "pet projects" when he owned NBC were Tim Russert and Chris Matthews. Jack Welch proudly boasted about having "turned" these two journalists into conservatives... He also boasted that Tim Russert was his personal nexus between NBC and the GOP. Some "fair and balanced" journalist, Mr. Potatohead.

Jack Welch is also infamous for his comments at the news editing room of NBC. He is reported to have said to his editors: "What would I have to give you to call the race for Bush?"

The guy is a perfect example of Republican billionaire scum, who buys his way through life, and who deeply believes everything in life has a price. He sure is a reptilian brain indeed.

:puke:

4. well, the reason he thinks everything has a price

is that, in his experience, everything does have a price.

8. That's not a excuse for his behavior

3. hey, say what you will, but Welch

made a lot of people a lot of money, and built a huge company from a really big one. And, unlike so many business gurus from times recent, he doesn't appear to be that big of a crook. It takes hard work and talent to build a machine like GE's leadership class. So he does know of what he speaks, on this topic at least.

5. Yep, he accomplished something that required skill...

...and, as a human being, he's a pure scumbag.

I'd rather know someone with fewer or smaller accomplishments and what is sometimes referred to as a "soul."

7. I don't particularly want to know him

although I have met him (and full disclosure, own GE stock from his days at the helm) but he was hired to give advice to young executives, which he has proven spectacularly good at in his career, so it seems a good fit.
