Bill Clinton, Microsoft CEO?

by Scott Beale on January 6, 2006 · 7 comments

Bill Gates and Bill Clinton

I thought last week’s rumor that Microsoft was trying to buy Yahoo was pretty far-fetched, but today’s rumor has to be one of the best ever. According to Andy Abramson (VoIP Watch) there are rumors that Steve Ballmer is about to be replaced by Bill Clinton as Microsoft’s CEO. What Andy didn’t mention is that Bill Clinton is currently practicing his chair throwing techniques in order to be properly qualified for the position.

Maybe this is a pre-emptive rumor to divert attention from Macworld.

Regardless, this has been a really crazy week for rumors.

Can we have a contest to name MSFT’s celeb CEO?
And what effect it would have on their corporate image?

Scooter Libby? Pat Robertson? Stephen Hawking? JarJar? George Lucas? Jerry Brown! L Ron Hubbard! Zippy!!! Charo! Paris Hilton! Twiggy.
The Bush Twins!!!!! Emperor Norton.
