#6 And its interesting that most of the commenters reflexively started critiquing her. Don't get me started on him. cheat cheeat chhheeeeeeeting scoundrel. Unless he had an open marriage (which you can surmise he didn't), he is the worse of the two if you ask me, being that he's a Dad, CEO, and Veteran. Uh hum.

#12 Girl Thursday - Its kind of toned down Oracle corporate success motif.
Search for stuff on Larry Ellison's (Oracle's founder) life style... then consider what yours would need to be to even visit Larry's parties.

cough cough cough...
Washington post was very tame using Ellison in this defense of Clinton's scandal:

Sexual involvement with a subordinate can add to an executive's mystique. One of the most envied men in Silicon Valley is Larry Ellison, 54, chief executive of Oracle Corp., one of the richest men in California. He's the thrice-married Lothario of the pocket-protector set, frequently attending business events with a beautiful young subordinate on his arm. Some of his relationships have been with recent Stanford University alumnae in their first real jobs.

In his 1997 book, "The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison (God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison)," St. Petersburg Times reporter Mike Wilson described Ellison conducting simultaneous romantic relationships with as many as three female employees. That sometimes created confusion -- Ellison openly described to Wilson an incident in which a woman employee arrived at the executive's house one night, only to find another girlfriend-employee there.

Ellison's most notorious romance ended up in court. A relationship bloomed when a junior-level marketing employee named Adelyn Lee encountered the boss in the elevator and asked him for a ride in his Ferrari, according to court testimony. Ellison offered, via e-mail, to let her drive. After 18 months, the relationship soured. Lee was then fired. She sued the company for wrongful termination and obtained a settlement, but was later jailed over allegations that she doctored e-mail messages she had used to bolster her claims.

Ellison has suffered no apparent repercussions from his behavior, and remains widely respected for his innovations in the computer industry. Oracle representatives declined to comment.
