Well… if nothing else, Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang will grow a thick skin.
Last week, the man he made a billionaire many times over (by agreeing buy Broadcast.com for $5.7B), Mark Cuban, joined the lynch mob that is eager to dance on his grave.
This week, the man he made a billionaire many times over (by agreeing use Google on Yahoo.com), Sergey Brin, gave him a back-handed compliment/insult. Yeah, I’m sure Jerry wants to give up reins of YHOO and go work for Sergey at Google, right.
Asked whether Google would ever consider employing Yahoo’s Chief Executive Jerry Yang if he lost his job he said: “Jerry is very talented and if he wants to work at Google we’d be very excited to have him, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

Wow. Rough week for Jerry. And now he’s got the four horsemen after him, too: T. Boone Pickens, Carl Icahn, John Paulson and your pick of Gordon Crawford (Capital Research and Management) and Bill Miller (Legg Mason).
Where’s Steve Ballmer when you need him. MSFT is laughing quite hard now.
