Secretary to CEO is a lie.

I wish the media would start calling Carly Fiorina out on this bullshit phony piece of biographical crap.

Carly Fiorina worked as a secretary during her summer vacations while a student at Stanford University. She never had a career as a secretary. After she graduated from business school she went to work for AT&T in a management track.

She does not have a "rags to riches" story. Her father was a Federal Judge and was an Assistant Attorney General in the Nixon administration.

This would be like every college graduate and professional in America who worked during the summer or part time during school went around saying things like this: "Supermarket Checker to Electrical Engineer" or perhaps "Waiter to Plastic Surgeon."

She also misrepresented the story of her step-daughter's death.

This woman is a fraud.

Attended a finishing school in London, and attended the best universities. Her family had super-productive connections ...

And somehow we are to believe that despite all this, she took a job as ... a secretary. Like that Carol Burnett routine, Mrs. Wiggins.

Uh-huh. I'm sure Carly is being honest with us.
