Just to be clear, Meehan started her career as the spokesperson for George
W. Bush's and Condi Rice's National Security Council? And started her
private sector career as a Vice President at J.P. Morgan, then became a VP
at Lehman Brothers, which collapsed mostly because of J.P, Morgan? And has
zero wiki editing experience?

Didn't the Board say they were going to make sure all executive hires had
community experience?
