Carly Fiorina doesn't know when to leave well enough alone

by Jay McDonough

Following up on an earlier post by Ron:

 

Earlier today, McCain advisor (and ex-Hewlett Packard chief executive made news when, during a radio interview, asserted Sarah Palin didn't have the experience to run a major corporation:

"No, I don't," responded Fiorina. "But you know what? That's not what she's running for."

Ms. Fiorina later appeared on MSNBC and attempted to defuse the earlier comment with this:

 

Uh, that probably didn't come out the way she had hoped it would.  None of them could manage a big corporation?   She said even John McCain couldn't cut it in the corporate world.

Clearly, Ms. Fiorina has a very high opinion of herself, but I do think a reasonable case can be made that both John McCain and Barack Obama are managing very large organizations; their campaigns.  Both employ many thousands of people, have budgets that must be maintained and apportioned, the must develop goals and objectives that must be monitored and accomplished and, on a month by month basis, need to meet revenue objectives.  Both John McCain and Barack Obama are, for all intents and purposes, managing half a billion dollar a year enterprises during this campaign.

Wow, that Carly Fiorina, some advocate for John McCain.  With friends like her....

What I would LOVE to see is some TV interviewer ask Carly Fiorina; "who is better qualified to be vice president, you or Sarah Palin"?

I think Carly would be, after all she is used to bugging her BOD and reporters...

She's always struck me as pretty tightly wound.
