Lehman Brothers, one of America’s most venerable and trusted investment banks, is floundering, and according to news reports this afternoon, desperately seeking a buyer. Chairman and CEO Richard Fuld, Jr., is said to be scouring the list of usual and unusual suspects in search of someone who can keep Lehman from going under. One can reasonably assume that if new owners are found, they may want their own person, not Fuld, to run the bank.
So how about Sarah Palin? Some may complain she has no experience running a major financial institution, but if the polls are right, many Americans believe that her lack of experience isn’t fair game. The media might question her credentials, but the media are plainly biased. Besides, she’d surely have expert advisers to help her deal with the complex issues that are likely to arise in managing Lehman.
