How Pathetic

So the CEO of HP, who wanted to do bold, amazing things, is out -- not because of sexual harrassment, of which he was accused, but because a review of his expense reports during that analysis showed that he was misusing HP's money in conjunction with a personal liason with an HP contractor -- and for quite some time, too.

Good to know that their corporate governance systems are applied so thoroughly. Or ought I to say: eventually.

It is rarely every about the sex and almost always about the money.

My guess would have been about 15% sex, 85% money, but I don't really know. I also think that the old political axiom about 'Its not the crime, it's the coverup' applies.

Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who was asked how many people were in his company, broken down by sex, and he replied Not so many. Drugs are more of a problem for us.
