I found this (http://www.cnbc.com/id/30502091) to be quite interesting. CNBC and Portfolio Magazine have published slide shows for the 20 Best and Worst CEOs in US coporate history. Here's the worst.
Any thoughts? Most people (including me) have likely never heard of a lot of these people, but there are some familar faces.

That list is all wrong. First off Pandit the Bandit should be much higher up. As should nardelli.
Jay Gould shouldn't be on it at all. JD Rockefeller described him as the greatest businessman of the edge. You might not like his ethics/methods but you have to judge him by the times. And in any event, Jay Gould was a saint compared to many of the current crop that aren't even on the list and should be. Ken Lewis, for example. Or Comrade Henry Paulson.

Actually I don't understand them putting successful CEO's on the list, obviously they were assholes to their workforce, but at the same time they were successful...
Skeletor should definitely be up there.
