I am reminded of a cartoon that was, I think, in the New Yorker years ago.
in the foreground, a management type was giving a press release to a PR man.

"After many years Mr. M has decided to step back from the front line, 
and enjoy a well earned retirement."

In the background, several security men are trying to pull the old guy 
away from his desk.

No, I do not know the man mentioned.
