“She almost destroyed one of the nation’s great corporate treasures — she made a mess of HP, she made it an extraordinarily unpleasant place to work,” said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management and longtime critic of Fiorina’s.”

A prof, who probably hasn’t been in the business world in years if ever, doesn’t carry much weight with me.

[Maceman]

God forbid he should surround himself with people who have been successful.

[RexBeach]

I wouldn’t trust her with a 3-minute egg.

If elected, McCain will have an absolute gift for picking klutzes and losers for his cabinet positions. I’ve commented on Carly Fiorina before, and have little to add to what some of those interviewed say here.

McCain isn’t very bright, among his other faults. He makes Bush look like a mental giant in comparison. You don’t have to be really bright to be president, if you are sensible. McCain lacks that, too. Bush made it through college with a Gentleman’s C. McCain would have been flunked out without his father’s pull.

Carly was like a hurricane, leaving devestation in her wake everywhere she went. Just another nail in McCain’s coffin.

[NormsRevenge]

Oh yeah,, a Justice Lindsay Graham comes to mind too.

[steve86]

Can these political parties possibly do a more outstanding job of picking incompetent lOOsers to run the country?

[NormsRevenge]

Not to worry,, Both parties have institutes studying just that question... and grooming the next batch ..

[Tribune7]

Oh joy. And the Pubs wonder why they are in trouble.

Bush made it through college with a Gentleman’s C. McCain would have been flunked out without his father’s pull.

Of course, in those days it required more than merely regular attendance to get a degree.

[Tribune7]

Oh yeah,, a Justice Lindsay Graham comes to mind too.

And that's if we are lucky.

Bush has a Harvard MBA.

[mbraynard]

Can you document Bush being a gentleman-C student? That's not my recollection.

My uncle worked for HP during Carly's time there (and a long time before it as well). He had a very negative opinion of Carly.

[Perdogg]

Do you have a MBA from Harvard?

[albie]

“Fiorina, 53, joined the Republican senator’s presidential campaign this spring”.

...this is where I stopped reading. Obviously the writer is going to pack the article with falsehoods similar to McCain being a Pub.

[Perdogg]

It's Commerce not Treasury.

[Red Badger]

After running one of Silicon Valley’s powerhouse companies INTO THE GROUND for six years........There, fixed it.......are you sure she ain’t being considered for FBI/CIA Director instead?.............

[steve86]

And about 95% of the students in my MBA class scored higher than him on the GMAT (or GRE, whichever it was).

[Perdogg]

I cannot even remember what I scored on the GMAT. I am sure the GMAT in 1974 was not the GMAT of 2008.
