Meanwhile, many of Google's shareholders (as well as at least one CNBC reporter) characterized this simple candor as a “gaffe.” The desire of investors to tuck their fingers in their ears and hum, and to prefer “strong numbers” over honest ones, is what gave us Enron and Worldcom.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9368E419-3E46-4616-BD8E-0B27B3E03898/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
