Primed,
"Sometimes people get excited, maybe had a few, and say things to really drive the point home. "
You seem to be suggesting Lori lied to shareholders whilst possibly being under the influence of alcohol, is that correct?
-------
" Don't think she really believed that for a second or thought you and others would believe it - I mean how could anyone - it is so ridiculous"
So why did she say it then?
So what you are saying is that it is OK for the CEO to exxagerate or lie after "having a few", and it's the fault of the shareholders for listening to her, and believing it? Is that correct?
You will twist anything to avoid criticising her!
