``If George Bush was the chief executive of a company, and we were the board of directors, we would have met long ago and fired him,'' Glenn Hutchins, co-founder of buyout firm Silver Lake Partners, said he tells business friends.

Of course, when Hutchins' personal buddy Bill Watkins ran Seagate Tech into the ground, and Hutchins and his fellow Seagate Board members met, they voted to give Watkins a raise.

Since they gave Watkins his $2.5MM pay package he's looking at maybe $120MM in annualized losses for the company.

In other words, Hutchins is not only a scummy, scummy liar, but he's a stupid liar to boot.

I wonder how Glenn Hutchins got his swank Silver Lake buyout firm started?

He did start the firm a little after he finished his appointment as Special Advisor to the Clinton-Gore White House transition team.

What, the article didn't mention this affiliation? I'm shocked.

I thought Bush was a tool of big business. Is Kerry now saying that given a choice of tools, he is the favored tool of big business?
