::SNIP::

PALO ALTO, C.A. (The Nil Admirari): Earlier this week, Carly Fiorina announced she was running for president as a Republican. Many Americans are wondering who Carly Fiorina is, and we have done some investigating to help you be an informed voter.

Carly Fiorina is a lesbian and LGBT activist who lives in Palo Alto, California with her wife Lassie Burns. Fiorina was the successful CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co. from 1999-2005 where she doubled profits, hired 30,000 new employees in an unprecedented expansion of the company, and retired to focus on Constitutional law despite the pleas of her board to remain at the company.

Wasn't aware of her sexual preference described in this fashion, and I don't think she's made it much of a campaign issue in the past.

Secondly, that description of her time at HP is pretty much a joke. She was pushed out at HP for a lot of failures there.

She probably helped validate Apple, their IPod and Itunes strategy more than she helped HP when she threw out their portable devices and partnerships of providing some competition to Apple to try and OEM these, and that got dumped later along with what they used to work on. That is a picture that represents many other failures she had at HP before being pushed out as CEO later.
