Fiorina: Palin Lacks Experience to Run a Company (Fiorina Engages Mouth Before Brain Again)

Washington Post ^ | 9/16/08 | Michael D. Shear

“No, I don’t,” responded Fiorina. “But you know what? That’s not what she’s running for.”

It's amazing how paid staffers and consultants can be such imbeciles at times and make campaigns spend days trying to diffuse their comments. She should have known that once she said "No I don't" that everything else she says is irrelevant in the eyes of the media and Obama campaign. McCain should ditch Fiorina, she's a female Biden in terms of verbal gaffes.

More comments from Fiorina in the same interview (via RCP/s Blog):

“I would just remind you that it is Barack Obama who is running for president,” Fiorina said. “Sarah Palin has more experience than Barack Obama has.”

“I find it quite stunning actually that the Barack Obama campaign is questioning Sarah Palin’s experience,” the McCain adviser added. “She has more executive experience than he does and she is the vice presidential nominee and he is the presidential nominee.”

Hey Carly....here’s a tissue... :)

Troll be gone!

Apparently we've found one of the three or four people who still thinks Carly Fiorina is competent.

[Servant of the Cross]

memo to John McCain — oust Fiorina. She lacks the experience to be an advisor to a Presidential campaign.

[WilliamReading]

Are we supposed to believe that Obama or McCain would be able to run a Fortune 500 company?

Carly told the truth . . no harm done.

Carly wouldn’t be a good VP candidate either.

[Antoninus]

Geez, Steve. You're on a tRoll today.

[Carley]

Why did I just know that the headline was misleading.

[Williams]

Other than Romney and GWB I can’t think of one of them in either party who would be trusted with a major company, other than as a figurtehead.

[Baladas]

I don’t think she’s competent, but I’ll take up for her over HuffPo bs any day of the week.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Algore could run a major company.

Into the ground.

Does NOBAMA have the experience to run a kool-aide stand?

Strange thing for her to say. She is McCain/Palin spokesperson for economic issues..

[reagan_fanatic]

Oh, I don't know, Carly. You run a major company while lacking experience, so I don't see much of an issue here.

"And now they’re going to lay off 25,000 employees. It’s time to dump Hurd."

They are dumping EDS employees. EDS is a bloated company that operates like the federal govt. Poor performers are shuffled from project to project to get billable hours on overinflated contracts and the company has 30+ year COBOL programmers who refuse update their skill set and thus sit around shuffling papers eating company profits. I know because I worked there for 5 years and got out as soon as I could.

EDS employees joke that it is the best "first and third" job they ever had meaning they got hired out of college, quit and took the skills EDS paid to send them to training to the highest bidder, and later came back to EDS to sit on their butts and retired at a higher salary.

I AM AMAZED THAT ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE ON THESE THREADS STILL FALLS FOR THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MEDIA IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED OR BELIEVED ON ANYTHING WITHOUT FIRST FACT-CHECKING AND RECHECKING WHAT THEY HAVE SAID, PRINTED OR PRESENTED ON VIDEO!!!!!!!!

TAKING QUOTES OUT OF CONTEXT IS THE OLDEST GAME IN THE BOOK!!!!!!!!

[Perdogg]

She and I graduated from the same high school, not at the same time.

[tips up]

Applies to 98% of Congress too, including the other candidates.

[Mr. Know It All]

I guess that Carly would know about being non-qualified. After all, she pretty much destroyed Lucent and came close to destroying HP as well.

And now she's McCain top economic adviser. Oh goody!
