Fiorina's comment called 'Biden-like'
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/16/fiorinas-comment-called-biden-like/

From CNN Chief National Correspondent John King
Fiorina said neither McCain or Palin are qualified to run a company.
Fiorina said neither McCain or Palin are qualified to run a company.

(CNN) — Top McCain-Palin official Carly Fiorina is facing criticism from some within the campaign for a day of what they call "very Biden-like" comments, after the former Hewlett-Packard CEO told two separate interviewers that neither member of the Republican ticket would be capable of running a company.

Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden is noted for his off-the-cuff gaffes.

Asked by a St. Louis radio station whether she thought Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin could run a company like Hewlett-Packard, Fiorina responded: "No, I don't.

“But that's not what she's running for. Running a corporation is a different set of things."

Asked about that remark on MSNBC, she made the same unprompted assessment of the GOP presidential nominee. "I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation."

She also said she did not believe Democrats Barack Obama or Joe Biden had the right business background either.

2. What does she know about running a business?
Other than running it into the ground, and floating off under a golden parachute?

3. I don't think politicians are the best people to lead Hewlett-Packard, either.
Someone who already works at HP would probably be better.

6. Welcome back, babs! To catch you up, Fiorina was on a radio show and a
ton of cable news shows yesterday (alllll day), and then last night, word came down that McLame was furious with her for saying that HE couldn't run a company, and "disappeared" her.

I mean, that gal is GONE!

Repeat: welcome back! So much has happened in these last couple of days that those of us WITH power are having a hard time keeping up!
