Fiorina: Palin/McCain are not qualified to run a major corporation
Here we go. Carly Fiorina, a economic advisor of John McCains seems to compete against Phil Gramms "Nation of Whiners"-comment. She answers "no" to the question if Sarah palin has enough experience to run Hewlett-Packard (Fiorina was an unsuccessful HP-CEO).
In an other interview she explains that John McCain lacks that experience too.
She also attacked Obama in the first interview and says in the second interview that all 4 (vice-)presidential candidates couldnÄt run a major corporation. But i'm not sure if her explanation works. Someone who can't run a major corporation can run a goverment?
And she did such a good job of running her company that the stock tanked, they laid off 16,000 people during her tenure, she spied on board members, and she was run out on a rail.
I'm kind of glad that none of the candidates could do her job. :)

The enemy of "the best" is not "the worst." The enemy of "the best" is "good enough."
Maybe if McCain wins they can put her in charge of Fannie Maye or Freddie Mac or something.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, & wiser people so full of doubts.

A top campaign adviser said Fiorina will be punished for her candid sentiments:
“Carly will now disappear,” this source said. “Senator McCain was furious.” Asked to define “disappear,” this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.
Fiorina was booked for several TV interviews over the next few days, including one on CNN. Those interviews have been canceled.
