Carl Icahn on Corporate CEO's

From Business Week:

I have my anti-Darwinian metaphor: The CEO is the fraternity brother type who is great to have a drink with. He's a survivor and maybe not all that smart, but he works his way up the ladder in the corporation. And if you're a survivor you never have someone beneath you who's smarter than you. So you eventually work your way to CEO. You have someone a little dumber than you underneath, and eventually we'll have morons running everything...which we're getting closer to.

I wonder if the CEO's are also those who instinctively live by the, recently popular, 48 Laws of Power :-)
