Lloyd Braun gets "rope-a-doped"
The LA Times hints that Yahoo's media un-mogul, Lloyd Braun, isn't too slick at phrase-slinging. Or, as Times writer Scott Collins bluntly states, there's a "fine line between stupid and clever."
One time, several years back, we greeted Lloyd at an ABC party. Shaking hands, he frowned and mumbled something about a story we'd written. "You really rope-a-doped me on that one," he said. We cast our mind back in time, trying to figure out how the boxing metaphor might apply. And we finally concluded that — it didn't!
No news, sadly, on whether Lloyd's finally getting K.O.'ed at Yahoo. Have updates on Lloyd's long goodbye? E-mail tips@valleywag.com.
