Carol Bartz The 'Sarah Palin of Search'

Bartz: 'Sarah Palin of Search'

Search guru Danny Sullivan has taken a big swing at Yahoo! boss Carol Bartz, describing her as the “Sarah Palin of search. “I watch her do these TV interviews, and she’s got this “aw shucks” and “straight shooting” delivery that makes you want to believe in the things she’s saying, regardless of how they’re being spun. I just find it irritating.

“I also find it amazing. Bartz is working so hard to marginalize search (last I looked, the second most popular internet activity after doing email). She’s working so hard to say that Yahoo has to give things up to Microsoft. What if she can’t dump search? What’s the Plan B? How do you recover running search on your own after having chopped off your own legs?”
