Now, this is just sad. Eric Schmidt, CEO of mutli-billion-dollar corporation Google, goes to Washington DC on a goodwill tour. His presence is met by a collective yawn — or even more pathetically, questions from a peevish Hill staffer as to why they can't get Microsoft Outlook to work properly. You'd think the politicos would at least get a little slobbery over a walking moneybag of potential campaign contributions, but before Schmidt's speech was over, "more than a third of the audience was gone." Ouch. Oh well, at least he got to pal around with Arlen Specter.
