According to her she was nothing short of the wizard of Silicon Valley leading HP into the ionosphere - then she got booted out rather publicly??

Talking points all practiced and prepared, and she was still knocked off her ladder*.

That frozen, chilly smile on Fiorina's face says it all. Another Repub whose accomplishments can't measure up to their egos.

It is so refreshing that SOMEBODY will call these trolls out for what they are. Hypocritical douche bags. This woman is toxic waste. Why anyone even listens to her rambling nonsense is beyond me.

It amazes me how totally out of touch these repuKKKe neocon ass holes really are. I honestly think they believe the crap they spew. That's scary! And we have crazy people wanting to wage jihad on US Army bases, and crazy people stopping traffic all across San Jose because they are a threat to themselves; and then we have these crazy ass holes that keep appearing on Sunday talk shows and morning talk shows as though they are "sane". Holy sweet Jesus, are we fook'd.

The GOP is sending a number of female mouthpieces out to trash HRC so they won't be accused of sexism. Kudos to Mika for taking it to Fiorina, and to Steve for a sterling rebuttal of Fiorina's self serving revisionism.

I really don't even know if the company "Hewlett Packard" even exists anymore, but I do know that I will always associate that company with Carly Fiorina and I will never buy a computer or anything else that has her name associated with it. Good for Mika for calling her out.

I was in IT at that time, and remember the HP Compaq merger as being a total failure for one simple reason. It tied HP's hands to a commodity low-margin, low-growth business of Personal Computers, and has been essentially undone with the corporate breakup. I would never thought I would be pining for Lew Platt, but the company hasn't been right since, and the jury is still out on Meg Whitman.

Automony, failure.
EDS, failure.
Compaq PCs, failure,
Palm, failure
Itanium 64-bit processors, failure.
Printing and Imaging, not the cash cow it once was.
I should note that not all of the above can be pinned on Carly, but most of it can be.

Carly Fiorina also ran Lucent Technologies in the ground, and some in the country would vote her as president?

The Hill backs the TPP, her husband's defanging of the Banks, is close to Rubin et al (corporists), smashed welfare and poor children so they still haven't recovered...these are some of the relevant issues, no?

So she had better get it together because as long as she's running for President, it's going to come up over and over again. But Carly wants to call it liberal talking points when she get backed into a corner (just in case there are some baggers listening).
