Boeing CEO Has Affair, Gets Fired

NBC News:

Boeing Co. on Monday said its board forced out President and Chief Executive Officer Harry Stonecipher because of a relationship Stonecipher had with a female executive at the company.

Boeing said an internal investigation prompted by information sent anonymously to Chairman Lew Platt and the company’s legal and ethics leaders 10 days ago revealed a “consensual” relationship between Stonecipher and the female executive that the board determined was in violation of the company’s code of conduct.

This seems like an overreaction… he didn’t lie to a grand jury, after all.

UPDATE: Yes, that was snarky and cheap. I make no apologies; Clinton is always fair game.
