Entergy CEO’s report “By the way, we’re all gonna die,”

An Entergy spokesman explains CEO Wayne Leonard is a movie “buff”

Leonard “is a movie buff and often uses movies in his presentations to help deliver the message” during shareholder and earnings meetings

reports Politico.com.

Entergy’s 111 page Analyst Conference presentation is aided by images and quotes from The Hangover a recent drunken buddy comedy set in Las Vegas. CEO Leonard, the owner of Vermont Yankee thinks relevant quotes from The Hangover such as “By the way, we’re all gonna die,” found on the second page will help wow analysts. Other slides feature a discussion of how to pronounce “retard” and the question, “Would you please put some pants on? I feel weird having to ask you twice.”

In this same prepared Entergy presentation Republican Sen. Randy Brock who normally isn’t considered a Vermont Yankee foe has fell in with a crowd of incorrigible Vermont Yankee critics including Rep. Tony Klein, Peter Shumlin, Vermont Law School Prof Patrick Parenteau. All of them including Brock are quoted under the caption Why the hostility? Senator Brock’s offending utterance from November 2011 “Moe, Curly and Larry are more creditable then Entergy Louisiana in the [Vermont] Senate”

This past week even though he voted for a lengthy state senate bill which included giving Vermont the power to charge Entergy for the legal fees incurred as it fights Entergy’s VY lawsuit Sen. Randy Brock made some apologetic noises for the ears of Vermont Yankee crowd to hear. Brock said he doesn’t feel right about it.The provision makes the causer the entity that caused the suit liable for the costs. “It just appears to me to be somewhat vindictive,” Guess in spite of his vote he doesn’t want to appear hostile.
