How low can you sink ?

Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP-Compaq, architect of the BIGGEST technology bungles thinks 18.5 cent gas tax holiday is a great thing.

Wow ! if anyone every had a doubt why the merger was an ill-conceived mistake, you now know that you had an inept CEO behind it.

2. She also said "Poor folks take the long way to work"

Is she f-ing serious? What does that even mean?

6. You know the elites live in an exclusive and closed society...

...to think like that. It's always the poor people's own fault even though most can feed a family, keep a roof over their heads and keep health insurance with low wages when people like her couldn't even run a flea market stand and make a profit.

5. She's a McCain supporter.....

in fact, her name's being floated around as a possible Veep pick for him.

As badly as she did with HP, I'm hoping he's not floating her because of her economic talent.

8. Was she the McCain mouthpiece I heard say the gas tax holiday

might allow some families to take a vacation this year? I've heard of Maui on $500 a day, but where on earth do you vacation on 33 cents a day?

10. yep that was her, she is so useless

she bullied wall street, fund managers, public employee retirement systems, a few foreign bank, the list goes on.

There was a LONE hold out, Walter Hewlett the grandson of founder Hewlett, who engaged in a bitter proxy fight.

She prevailed, the merger went thru (the board was on her side), the company showed disappointing benefits from the merger.

The board kicked her incompetent ass out of the door.
