Women's day, Women's biz

I just realized that today it is Inte'l women's day during watching tonight's CharlieRose interview to Jack Welch and Suzy Wetlaufer... ha, if you are not familiar with their story, take a look at here.

though the interview didn't go as I had expected - it was more about "HIM", not about "THEM", - it was still among the best interviews I've seen in this show. though looking sharp, intelligent and aggressive, 80% of the time Ms. Wetlaufer ( would be Mrs. Welch after Apr. 24 this year!!!) was just disappearing from the screen when Jack and Charlie were involved in ardent discussion on Camcast-Disney acquisition case, tax-cut, outsource and job creation, etc. Yeah, she was there, and was asked intendedly by either of the two men, once or twice, what her opinion was on this or that, and did give short comments which were not too off professional level (considering her previous position as excutive chief editor of HBR), but who cares?

the turn for her was, conceivably, talking about their affair, which she apparently handled with profession and subtlety. as a great respectful interviewer, Charlie gave her the last five minutes of the 1 hr show. the questions were pretty sharp ( I really like this typical Charlie-rose-style), " what do you think you should apologize for? " , "shouldn't have pulled down the article", well, pretty professional retrospection, and then, "didn't meet Jack sooner. " this sounds really corny and Madison-county-bridge:P but anyway, they are in LOVE. who can reproach two people in love?

yeah, she did talk about "darkness", "disconnection", "supportless" when the story was going on, but when you connect it with the fact that it was she herself first released their "romance" to her media friends either unwittingly or deliberately couple of times till it was totally exposed, when poor Manager Welch was still declaring it as "friendship", you'll have to reassure the cliche " men conquer the world, women conquer it via conquering men". they are on the ship now:D

btw, I almost forget to mention.... Suzy did get involved in the conversation more or less when the topic went to Martha Steward case. here she was able to chop in, I guess, from both a woman and a professional's point of view. actually I think she is in a perfect position to make comments on Martha Steward. she and Martha, are exactly the controversary cases of how professional women make their ways. those who try to stand on their own should be cautious on each single step, you may be overthrown anytime with a minor mistake. and those, who is smart enough to be able to stand on great guy's shoulder (even old great guy) will make the world... at least get a chair in Charlie Rose show:P

ok, dear girls, this is my little gift to your holiday. happy women's day~~
