This guy was the CEO of a major US company?!?!?!

Lou Pritchett used to run Proctor and Gamble. It is amazing that they are still in business. He wrote an "open letter to President Obama" so full of vacuous memes and outright fabrications that it is downright laughable. Of course this open letter has become the latest favorite for conservatives to forward to all of their friends. The fact that someone that completely clueless was in charge of a company as big as P&G is a sad mark on the U.S. But then again, I guess its not that surprising.

I was going to do a point by point commentary, but then I found someone else did a much better job than I would have. Enjoy:

No, actually he wasn't CEO -- isn't that reassuring? I think he made veep -- but in typical internet credential-inflating fashion, any executive becomes a "former CEO."

Thanks for the compliment. I've linked to a couple of other responses which are very, very good, too.
