Steve Ballmer Speaks!

My favorite part of the latest Carl Icahn love letter to Yahoo shareholders comes early in the note. Here are the first two sentences:

Dear Yahoo! Shareholders:

During the past week I have spoken frequently with Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. Several of our conversations have lasted as long as an hour.

{Emphasis added]

Oooh, Steve speaks! I'm assuming that Carl is trying to show how tight he is with Steve Ballmer, and how the two of them are planning a Yang-free  future for Yahoo, but it comes across more like an advertisement for Ballmer's speech pathologist.
