Makes you wonder what the world would think of Hillary had she had the backbone (as opposed to the greedy chit-counting of political nuance) the first time Bill got caught...

Yep. It was reported yesterday that Stonecipher lost $38 million in bonuses and stock options by getting fired. It's about to cost him even more. I guess the wife wasn't hip to him playing slap-and-tickle with a lobbyist.

Men's vaunted logic often produces millions of dollars in wealth, then they impulsively and briefly think with their "appendeges."

All that money then goes to the wives and the divorce lawyers.

The female executive whose romantic relationship with Harry Stonecipher led to his ouster this week as Boeing's chief executive has been identified as Debra Peabody, an employee in Washington who has been at Boeing for more than 20 years.

Rooting for the wife on this one.

The NY Post published her pix in yesterday's (3/11/05) edition. I am not sure if many papers did.

This boy just spent $100 million dollars on something he could have gotten for $100.

Dumbass.

Well, Stonecipher's little shenigans must have been enjoyable. They've cost him a heck of a lot, and I can't say I'm sorry.

The guy is a fossil...I dont think he cares about all those "bonuses" in the future.

Why do you think he went back to work....to get away from the fossils in Fla.
