Carly Fiorina: the gift that keeps on giving.
Being called "incompetent" by that nitwit is like being called "quirky" by Jeffrey Dahmer.

1. I think she was universally hated at HP.
Almost from the very beginning.

She and Sarah both have one thing going for them... The Peter Principle. Both exceeded it.

3. What I can't believe is that she's seen...
...as an expert on anything in the business world.

She made so many bad decisions during her CEO tenure at HP. She was a failure and
she was fired.

Maybe someone needs to bring up those points.

8. The stock value dropped in half....

...after she took the HP helm.

Man, Obama needs to make a Carly Fired-o-Rina ad.

Her entire philosophy at HP was acquire-and-fire. She purchased loads of companies and
fired the excess employees. She also outsourced many HP jobs to India.

She's the Oracle of Outsourcing, and she's McCain's chief economic adviser?

We need an ad just about her.

...and Go Begala!

9. And I doubt it required any changes in our legal system
to operate. So I'm WTF about his claim.
