I only wish I were in the position where I could hear "Your fired!" followed by "Take your 60 million compensation package (stock options) and clear out your desk!"

Fun facts about CF (courtesy of Wikipedia, because I am too lazy to waste any more effort on this woman):
HP's share price jumped 7% on news of her firing.
Golden parachute to get rid of her: $21,000,000.00
Said, with ZERO empathy: in the global economy, no American has a "right" to a job.
After merging Compaq and HP, her management style caused a hemorrhage of top talent in both companies.
After the merger, share prices remained stagnant for the duration of her tenure, while the company lost market share to IBM.
John McCain doesn't know enough about the economy to even surround himself with winners from the business world. Just losers. Venerated losers like Fiorina, symbol of everything wrong with American capitalism.

BTW... that's the REPORTED figure... $21 million.
bullshit. including office support, stock options, equipment etc... the real number is between 88 and 102 mil.

ya know... just the fact that mcsame has the GALL to hire that woman as his 'financial advisor' (who would probably wind up as the Fed, if he got elected) tells me how fricking out of touch mcsame is!
carly fiorina is the epitome of EVERYTHING that's wrong with corporate America... especially being FIRED and getting 88 mil in compensation.
WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?
what does that say about American industry? the auto makers are going under... do you think ANY of their execs pull down less than $400k a year?
name a fortune 500 company... do ANY of the execs make less than $400k??
and how are these companies doing? how about the average Joe who works for them?
corporate America is FUBAR.

OT- John McCain uses his ex-wife Carol when he campaigns in Florida
After 20 months of ignoring his ex-wife's role in shaping his narrative, while campaigning in Jacksonville, Fla., on Monday, McCain thanked Floridians for looking after her while he was a POW.
"I hope you know that in the years I was away in prison, the people of Orange Park, Florida, took care of my wife and family," he said.
"My children had about 50,000 parents while I was gone, and I'm very grateful," he said.
Has anyone considered Carly Fiorina's record at HP???
That is just as bad if not worse then what Phil Grahm has done,,,
She took HP from being the world's leader in prinetrs to being an also ran,,,she got fired,,,

I was talking to a fellow former Wasillan last night and he said "If McCain wins, I'm changing my citizenship." When I asked why would he do something so drastic. He says "No way in hell do I want to live in a country where a Wasillan could be president."
He thinks Sarah is dumb as a box of hammers. And before you think her family is unusual....Most Wassliians are just like them.

I read somewhere that FDR sent a bunch of dust bowl victims to Wasilla in the 30s. I hate to engage in use of stereotypes, but everywhere in California where there are dust bowl people, there are tons of very low information voters. They're mostly in the central valley, north and south.

Well Miss Carly should know...She did not know how to run HP. Hewlett and Packard must have been spinning in their graves.

Someone call RIngling Bros. and ask if any of their clowns is missing. Fiorina has the worst makeup job I've ever seen outside a circus tent.

Ms. Fiorina's comments are informed. Few people outside of Wall street have demonstrated such stunning knowledge of how not to run a corporation as Carly did with H-P.
