Icahn on settling Pennzoil-Texaco with Jamail

This blog is mostly about business and law, so Carl Icahn's activities have been a frequent topic. Likewise, this blog also centers on Houston, where the Pennzoil v. Texaco case from the mid-1980's is a part of the city's storied legal lore. Consequently, the video below of Icahn doing his equivalent of a standup comedy routine describing how he settled the Pennzoil-Texaco case with famed Houston plaintiff's lawyer Joe Jamail is an absolute classic for this blog. A very big hat tip to John Carney at Dealbreaker for the link to the Icahn video.

Hearing Icahn say the word "pussy" has traumatised me.

I need to scrub my brain but I'm not sure anything is powerful enough to remove that image.

Awesome. And horrifying.

Entertaining. But Icahn is thoroughly full of crap, demonstrably wrong on almost every "fact" he purports to report.
