Lee Scott took some good-natured jibes at frequent Wal-Mart critic and New York Times reporter Michael Barbaro.
Scott in his speech, when talking about new organic product lines, mentioned that "even some New York reporters are wearing a George tie you can buy at Wal-Mart for $11.99." Barbaro, who was tieless yesterday, was wearing a red tie today.
He also quipped at one point "you've heard of Lee's Garage." Lee's Garage is an internal Wal-Mart message board that Scott uses to communicate with Wal-Mart employees. Excerpts of messages posted to that board were leaked to the New York Times and published in a story by Barbaro. Wal-Mart Watch and Wake Up Wal-Mart tried to get much mileage out of the posts.
