Hypocrisy From McCain's Top Aide

Hours after top McCain aide Carly Fiorina said Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin isn't qualified to run a major corporation, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO said she doesn't think John McCain is either.

In comments that are strikingly off message as the Arizona senator attempts to position himself as the candidate best positioned to fix the country's economic woes, Fiorina said in an interview on MSNBC Tuesday running a Fortune 500 corporation is not the same as running the country.

Well, I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation, I don't think Barack Obama could run a major corporation, I don't think Joe Biden could run a major corporation," Fiorina, a top McCain advisor, said.

"But, on the other hand, a major corporation is not the same as being the president or the vice president of the United States," she continued. "It is a fallacy to suggest that the country is like a company. So, of course, to run a business, you have to have a lifetime of experience in business, but that's not what Sarah Palin, John McCain, Joe Biden, or Barack Obama are doing."

Well Carly, I know YOU can't run a corporation either.  You came to HP, pushed for the purchase of Compaq, a known shitty computer company, and ran HP into the ground.  In the meantime, it was found out that you would be getting a large million dollar bonus if the merger went through, AND at the same time, you laid off 30,000 employees.

I cringed when I read that Carly was going to be John McCain's aide.  My aunt was one of the 30,000 people who were laid off by HP, and she had been there more than 20 years.  Meanwhile, Carly gets the boot with a ton of money as severance, and my aunt got nothing.

Just shut up Carly, it's better that people think you're a fool, then to open your mouth and prove it.
