Driving into a Tree?

ROTFLOL.  http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/04/22/17OPcringely_1.html

Getting CRM’d: Siebel has canned CEO J. Michael Lawrie after less than a year on the job and has replaced him with longtime board member George Shaheen. Gorgeous George is best known for taking Webvan, the best-funded dot-com in history, and driving it into a tree. Hey, what could they do? Bernie Ebbers and Kenneth Lay weren’t available.

George Shaheen led Andersen Consulting very successfully for ten years before WebVan. Actually, he was quite the superstar CEO. I met him once on the top floor of the London Stock Exchange if memory serves me rightly.
