Bitter from being laid off?
oops add Cheney.
Don’t send me email if aren’t going to think what you write through. It is rude.
I think she ended up saying that none of the candidates could get the job of CEO.
Unfortunately, she did so by name, so the media could lift the few words out of her quote to attack Palin, and attack McCain.
It used to be that the media allowed people the dignity of quoting their entire sentences.
But there is no honor in the media anymore.
I read somewhere tonight that McCain was furious about this, and the campaign has cancelled her scheduled television experiences for the rest of this week. Good move. Carli is obviously not ready for prime time.
Guess running a state or a city isn’t good enough to run a company.
Not only that, but she didn’t wreck the state while she was boss
True.
The context isn’t bad, but Fiorina is.
What about her off shoring of jobs? Do you think that helped or hurt the California economy? She was paid a HUGE bonus to do it. You can’t really say she has loyalty to this country. And if you can’t say that, it is completely wrong to elect her to high government office.
She apparently liked doing business with Iran too.
Government is not business. The first line of action according to the founders is to protect individual liberty, not make a profit.
Anytime a CEO runs for office or someone says they’ll run the government like a business you’d better flee from them as far as humanly possible. Just look at businessman Schwarzenegger and what he’s done to California.
Schwarzenegger was a businessman? Lol...
Schwarzenegger’s report shows that in the 35 years since he arrived in California as a young Austrian bodybuilder, he has built an entertainment conglomerate and invested heavily in real estate holding companies, venture capital funds and blue-chip stocks. His holdings include an Ohio shopping mall, a charter airline and bonds issued by the agency that operates a youth prison in Walnut Grove, Miss.
His income is boosted further by trusts set up to benefit the family of his wife, Maria Shriver.

He did not run as a businessman and and was not elected for being one. He was a bodybuilder and actor. None of his business endeavors would be possible without his celebrity status.
Is she now?
My guess is that Fiorino would say yes to that question now.
