The Media's Nardelli Puffery

Imperious, disgraced, grasping, serially incompetent CEOs apparently are in short supply. Bob Nardelli, who embodied those virtues as CEO of Home Depot, has now re-emerged at the helm of Chrysler. What is even more amazing as the media's ho-hum reaction to this absurdity.

Marek Fuchs of TheStreet.com details Nardelli's mediocre performance at Home Depot, contrasting it with the glowing coverage that he is receiving in the press. His article is a must-read.
