Comments on Relentless

I was an HP employee under Carly Fiorina, she doesn't know how to run a large corporation either. She does know how to run them into the ground, however.

Didn't HP lose half its value under Carly Fiorina's "leadership"?

The running a large company metaphor is actually a very interesting point.

Certainly not with that budget! Certainly not with that many subordinates/employees! Certainly not with that much room for error!

Yet compare it to the biggest company/employer in the world, the United States of America, and nobody could argue that Palin is qualified to run that operation.

Very thought provoking

1 and 2 beat me to the point: Fiorina doesn't know how to run a large corporation either. Neither does Meg Whitman, Chief Fraudster at Ebay, McCain's other top corporate adviser.

@1. Agreed. She was a marketing guru, certainly not CEO material. But, hey, if she wants to tell people that McCain’s not capable of running a corporation, I’m all ears.

You've all forgotten that we live in Backwards World, where only the dumbest survive.

Hell, Psychogeezer could appear on national TV and blubber "I soweetoddid," and he'd be a hero.

McCain's poll numbers to shoot upwards in 5... 4... 3... 2...

@6 wins Slog for the day

"later", meaning "in the very next sentence".

Self-serving self-deception, Eli.

can't find the original link to this story, but it seemed relevant:

>>John McCain and Sarah Palin both came out today to condemn CEOs who get golden parachutes. Here's McCain:

"We will stop multimillion dollar payouts to CEO’s who have broken the public trust."

And here's Palin:

"We're going to reform the way Wall Street does business and stop multimillion-dollar payouts and golden parachutes to CEOs who break the public trust."

Seems to me McCain could put that campaign promise into effect right away. One of his top advisors, Carly Fiorina, laid off 20,000 HP workers, oversaw huge losses, and engaged in corporate spying. Sure sounds like she "broke the public trust" to me. And for her troubles, HP gave her $21.4 million in severance pay, plus another $21.1 million in stock options and other benefits.

Over $42 million for--as John McCain describes it--breaking the public trust.

Call John McCain's campaign at (703) 418-2008 and demand that McCain stand by his promise to stop this practice. Ask him to demand this his campaign advisor, Carly Fiorina, give back her loot to HP's stockholders.

but fiorina's got electrolytes!

First she whines about the Palin SNL sketch being sexist, and she follows it up with this. Fiorina's on a roll today.

For someone running on the hope and change platfrom his supporters are a bunch of fucking cranks.

@9:

Sooooo, does that mean McSame/Pailin' are actually in favor of MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION?

Um, isn't that a complete 180-shift from their so-called "conservative platform"?

My bad @ 8 ... caught an edited (composite) version.

Still, a silly stab at gaffing Fiorina or diminishing. Nobody wants pols playing CEO, and only Perotistas and worse want CEO's playing POTUS.

Palin's "D" in undergrad macroeconomics is more to the point.

We won't have Carly to kick around, anymore...

McCain's campaign is going to "disappear" her
