I wonder, sometimes, if even the "usual suspects" must get embarrassed by what JB is telling them to say.

Like, this attribution of "world class" to the new, part-time CFO.

Has anyone read anything more ridiculous that that?

---------------------
world-class (wûrld'klas')

adj.

1. Ranking among the foremost in the world; of an international standard of excellence; of the highest order: a world-class figure skater.
2. attracting or comprising first-rank players, performers, etc.

I remember reading the credentials of the author who included JB's accounting fraud in his tome on, well, "Accounting Fraud". HIS credentials were much closer to world-class (he's one of the foremost scholars in the English-speaking world on accounting fraud, and I would assume "one of the foremost scholars in the world" is getting close to "world class"). But, of course, this "world-class" authority dared to embarrass JB, with consequences like false Amazon testimonials of "I'm a professor at Harvard, and this book is stupid" and the like).

I truly wonder if even the usual suspects sometimes get embarrassed. Of course, this is what pecuniary compensation is for.
