Their going down, down, down, down, down

You know, Bruce always says it best.

While I understand that Yahoo is doing a lot of really good work (and i mean, REALLY good work) they still struggle to gain the respect of the street, and I have no choice but to blame their PR department.

Why? Well, they haven't really handled the press around Microsoft very well, and more importantly, they allowed Yahoo to rush to respond to the initial offer. Then, they allowed the media to treat Jerry Yang as a circus clown. Then, to make matters worse, they allowed it to happen AGAIN. Yep, after they got MSFT back to the table, they allowed Roy and Jerry to be the faces of the response. And again, they were villified.

Now, I agree it is time, and has been for awhile, for Jerry to step down. I will even go as far to say PLEASE bring Dan Rosensweig back. He was the energy of that organization! BRING HIM BACK. Get Yahoo's stock out of the toilet! Microsoft can now swoop and offer 25% less than their original offer, and the board will be FORCED to take it.

Stop the bleeding . . .please
