McCain reportedly ‘furious’ with Fiorina-“Carly will now disappear,”

[kpete]

McCain reportedly ‘furious’ with Fiorina, campaign adviser says she will ‘disappear’ from TV.

Today, McCain economic adviser Carly Fiorina bluntly stated that neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin were capable of running a major corporation (she said the same of Barack Obama and Joseph Biden). A top campaign adviser said Fiorina will be punished for her candid sentiments:

“Carly will now disappear,” this source said. “Senator McCain was furious.” Asked to define “disappear,” this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.

Fiorina was booked for several TV interviews over the next few days, including one on CNN. Those interviews have been canceled.

1. Awww ... what a shame ...

She seemed to have unique insight ....

[Cha]

20. ..

:rofl:

[PM7nj]

2. Begalla said it best... she is an idiot. Thanks Carly!

[trueblue2007]

54. Carly Fiorina should have been fired within the first 3 months on the job

She is a disgrace

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. She missed her lie quota for the month.

[QC]

4. Fiorina is not capable of running a corporation either. n/t

[Cha]

21. carly was just making sure America knew

she wasn't the only one who couldn't do it. What's a disgraced ceo to do?

[Richardo]

29. ba-ZING!

:thumbsup:

[MindMatter]

41. Seriously.

That's not a political zinger. Objectively she was HORRIBLE as HP's CEO -- and that was before she got into the deep weeds legally. If you had to name an example of a CEO who was demonstrably not qualified to lead a company, she would easily be on the top 5 list.

It is as if these Republicans don't even understand the concept of irony.

[Liberal_in_LA]

5. "disappear"? OOOOOOOOOOOh.

[Curtland1015]

6. Haw! Eat it bitch!

...that's not taking it too far, is it?

:blush:

[geek tragedy]

10. Kinda is.

No need to degrade nice dogs like that.

[dana_b]

42. not at all. I'd add.....

go to hell and stay there! (howw sixth grade of me). ;-) Seriously, because she doesn't know shit herself about how to run a major company, my friend lost her job and during her last couple of weeks had to go down to Costa Rica to teach two very limited-English speaking ladies to do her job. Personally, I think Carly is a fucking witch.

[MichiganVote]

7. Love em' and screw em' Carly. Good job lady. :)

[blue sky at night]

8. the truth really hurts......

and McSame is not used to it being uttered around his campaign, so she has to "disappear" for "a while". Wish he would and take psycho-sarah with him.

[spooky3]

9. She meant to say

"can't run a major corporation into the ground like I did."

oops!

[donco6]

11. Had to see that coming.

I mean, really - someone says the candidate she's SUPPORTING cannot run a mere corporation, when he's seeking to run the country itself?

With friends like these . . .

But hey, I'll really miss Carly myself. BWA HA HA!

[Cha]

22. Maybe she'll

write a book..a la Scotty!

[donco6]

35. She'll be needing the money, no doubt. n/t

[RoadRage]

12. Women only matter to the Mccain camp if they do as their told..

Obviously, she didn't follow directions from the men in charge. Well, she'll learn her lesson and be punished like the naughty girl she was.

Why do women even try to play with Repugs?? Seriously? It's like watching an friend who's with an abusive husband.. you get pissed, and feel sorry for them - but sometimes you just want to shake the shit out of them and tell 'em to grow a pair. :eyes:

[Cha]

23. I hope palin's

shakin' in her moosetrackin' boots.

[grantcart]

13. Now if only Palin says something truthful . . . . . . . . .

[CakeGrrl]

24. Someone *please* leave an open mic... n/t

[Cha]

26. Not a

chance. Have to be something else.

[rebel with a cause]

48. palin would not know the truth if it bit her on the nose.

People like her never really tell the truth, the closest they come to it is when they tell their version of it. :evilgrin:

[GodlessBiker]

14. I weep.

[DJ13]

15. Im really glad he doesnt have a temper

[Ichingcarpenter]

16. He's a Sexist....... this proves it!!! ARE YOU GETTING THE MEMO?

SEXIST, SEXIST, SEXIST,SEXIST, SEXIST, SEXIST,SEXIST, SEXIST, SEXISTSEXIST, SEXIST, SEXIST,

[Heather MC]

49. Clearly, what happens to the guy who says McCain invented the black berry???

they didn't make him "diappear"

[rvablue]

80. Ha, ha, ha

This was my first snarky reaction, too!

[FrenchieCat]

17. Wasn't she one of those CEO who lost money for her company.

was handed a super size severance package of 43 million dollars and then fired?

Yeah....I see why she might be made to disappear. She epitomizes the whole mindset that got us where we are today.

[Virginia Dare]

87. Shipped thousands of jobs overseas too..

heck of a job, Carly11!!11...:thumbsup:

[Cha]

18. Rec'd! mccain makes 'em "disappear" for telling the truth..ooops.

mccain should disappear himself for his monotonal performance on morning joe today.

How long before palin gaffes beyond her usual and she also disappears?

[napi21]

19. How many people has McNuts had to "disappear" from his

spokespeople already? I know Phil Graham is in hiding, and now Carly. I know there were several K Streeters who were visably banished. Hmmm...we should take bets on who's going to be next!

[ErinBerin84]

25. seriously. I had forgotten about Charlie Black too....who's next?

Can Tucker Bounds go next? He's fucking annoying.

[Cha]

27. HOw long before

rick davis gets the boot? :silly:

[Virginia Dare]

88. I think Phil Gramms's time out is over...

he's back to advising McBush on economic matters again...:scared:

[Barack_America]

28. Oh no! Now who will proclaim everything sexist!

What ever shall we do?!?!

I love how they basically admit that they now hate her, but they still love her rolodex.

[Ichingcarpenter]

33. Your Post is Sexist calming that this might be Sexist

Even though his statement might be sexist on his sexist statement on her.


WE NEED TO TAKE THIS SHIT AND RUN WITH IT.

[Cha]

34. mccain is sexist making carly disappear just

cause she said palin couldn't run a company like HP..hell I bet palin could run it into a $20 Million debt.

[hisownpetard]

36. Fiorina says Palin isn't capable of running a large corporation? And I say,

In what respect, CARLY?

[Ichingcarpenter]

39. Oh, my God!!!! We have a fricking Sex war going on!!!!!!

How will McCain's wife answer this???????

Hilllary? this is the UN you need to protest!!!!

[Cha]

44. Yes, this is the UN Hillary needs to protest and maybe she

will..she cancelled the other one when finding out palin was going to be there.

"Palin Cancels Washington State Visit Next Week"
HUNTS POINT, Wash. -- Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will not be making an appearance in Washington next week.

Republican donors had been invited to a fundraiser with Palin next Wednesday in Hunts Point on the Eastside, but the McCain campaign said Tuesday night that she will not be here.

The Wall Street Journal Reports that Palin instead will join John McCain to meet foreign leaders at the United Nations next week.

"Clinton blindsided by scheduled event with Palin"

AP foreign, Wednesday September 17 2008

By DEVLIN BARRETT

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has canceled an appearance at a New York rally next week after organizers blindsided her by inviting Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, aides to the senator said Tuesday.

Several American Jewish groups plan a major rally outside the United Nations on Sept. 22 to protest against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Organizers said Tuesday that both Clinton, who nearly won the Democratic nomination for president, and Palin, Republican candidate John McCain's running mate, are expected to attend.

That would have set up a closely scrutinized and potentially explosive pairing in the midst of a presidential campaign, one in which the New York senator is campaigning for Democratic nominee Barack Obama while Palin actively courts disappointed Clinton supporters.

89. True, how many bonehead things has McBush himself said..

he hasn't made himself disappear....:rofl:

[HughMoran]

30. Awww, McCainypoo throws a fit - makes her go bye-byes

What a joke this McP*W circus is becomming.

[Imagevision]

31. Fiorina did such a bad job running Hewlette-Packard they paid 20 million to just leave!

[Ilsa]

32. Yep. She was invoted to The Rachel Maddow Show, but she and her

subs couldn't make it.

I bet she is just barely smart enough to figure out that McCain-Palin is a worldwide disaster waiting to happen, so she "accidentally" fucked up.

[LooseWilly]

38. I doubt it was her consideration for the people/the world.

I got the feeling that she somehow genuinely judged SEO position to be MORE difficult than mere President... and consequently feels that SHE is basically a 'better' human being than any mere politician could ever hope to be.
Seriously, I think she's got a case of megalomania...

Funny as hell to hear McCain's losing his shit over it though...

[Ilsa]

45. Yeah, she's full of herself. I thought the same thing after I saw her on 60 Minutes

when she got the boot several years ago. A bungler ex-CEO isn't the best rep for the campaign, IMO.

[anonymous171]

37. lol proof that McCain doesn't give a shit about women and will toss them aside at his convenience

[AwakeAtLast]

40. Now that she's fired AGAIN, does she get another 'Golden Parachute'?

:shrug:

[grytpype]

43. I hope this isn't sexist, but Carly is the most pathetic screwup on the national stage right now.

I hope that's not sexist, but it's true!

[scarface2004]

46. i am also furious..mkane couldn t run a lemonade stand!

senile asshole that he is!

[firedupdem]

47. Good Job telling the truth lady! He probably threw chairs, and

slammed his hands against the wall and threatened to kick her ass!

[Cha]

50. I bet he called her an

"OBAMA SUPPORTER!" a la mika on morning joe:)

[PuppyBismark]

51. Fired from HP, Fired by McBush!

[truthisfreedom]

52. Hee hee! Poor widdow McCan't keep his team on message.

[demwing]

83. Widdow? Is that baby talk for "Little"? /nt

[WhiteTara]

53. think she'll stay?

We'll see if she likes to be abused.

[BrklynLiberal]

55. Typical of the type of people in the MCSame camp..self-centered, and self-serving.

And my reaction to McSame being furious: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Writer]

56. If Carly Fiorina disappears...

will all of those jobs she cut from Hewlett-Packard RE-appear?

Hrmmmm...

[thatsrightimirish]

57. actually, I kinda think she's right

Granted, she handeled it horribly and amazingly also threw McCain under the bus. And she shouldn't really be talking about successful CEO's because she ran HP into the ground. But I think she is right that none of the candidates running for president could run HP. Unless they have some special knowledge in Computers. If Palin,Obama, McCain, and Biden are named CEO of HP tomorrow, I certainly wouldn't buy stock. Would you?

[girl gone mad]

58. I wonder if she'll sue him for sex descrimination?

This should bring McCain's bad judgment into even sharper focus.

[Bread and Circus]

59. John McCain is mentally imbalanced, it's more apparent every day.

[FVZA_Colonel]

60. She would know something about who isn't qualified to run a corporation.

There is no greater teacher in all of existence then personal experience.

[Starry Messenger]

61. Wow. I didn't know he was magic, too.

Seriously. His campaign is such a trainwreck.

[vanderBeth]

62. Will they pay her a $20 mil severance package?

Nobody seems to want her. :shrug:

:evilgrin:

[TexasObserver]

63. She is and always has been a joke.

That's why she fucked up HP, why she was fired, and why she's not marketable except as a female face to lobby for the likes of the GOP.

Carly needs to get a real job, something for which she is qualified. Like being a manure spreader.

[saltpoint]

64. Carly better watch it. McCain might call her mean names.

[MattBaggins]

65. New Crossfire team --> Fiorina and Ferraro? NT

[SuperTrouper]

77. Fiorina and Ferraro are political twins: both ugly, incompetent and racists

[blogslut]

66. I'm torn on how I feel about this

On one hand, it's fun to see Ms. Fiorina fall flat on her ego. On the other hand, Carly's departure means we're probably going to see more of Nancy Pfotenhauer.

[terrya]

67. "Carly will now disappear".That sounds so...."Goodfellas".

Is she going to be whacked or something?

[Max_powers94]

68. Why Fiorina made that statement???? anyone???

[Orsino]

69. McCain passed her over, and chose *Palin*.

I think that slap in the face to every remotely competent Republican woman has earned McCain some payback.

[Ganja Ninja]

70. Jeez Carly don't ever let the truth come out of your mouth.

Lies are the foundation of the McCain campaign and truth is like a wrecking ball to it.

[Vinca]

71. That was pretty amusing, especially from someone who nearly killed HP. nt

[thoughtcrime1984]

86. No kidding! She is unfit to lead as well! At least she told the truth about McSame and Mooselini. nt

[seabeyond]

72. being pres is NOT the same as running a comment. good for us to get a jab, BUT

running a company is not the same as running the country. and i dont suppose too many in the govt could step into a company and run it. maybe having worked in a company for a period they can end up on the top, .... with ambition, as they did in politics. but to pretend it is the same

i dont buy it.

[samsingh]

73. good.

[Politicub]

74. Carly was hoisted by her own ego

"Of course they can't run HP... only I am qualified to do that. Me me MEEEEEE!!!!"

[ErinBerin84]

75. haha

I just saw on the Huffington Post page (did not click on the story) that Palin said today "I consider myself Alaska's CEO", as a supposed "comeback" to Carly...oh, burn, Palin. :rofl:

[LynneSin]

76. That leaves poor Kay Bailey Hutchison and a few nobodies left...

as the only women out there campaigning for Palin.

[vaberella]

79. Nancy Pffft. Has moved from being a nobody to being an annoyance. n/t

[vaberella]

78. Now if only Nancy Pffft...can disappear too, life would be grand. n/t

[msallied]

81. Wow... disappear, eh?

[WI_DEM]

82. The famous McCain temper on a tantrum again.

[TexasObserver]

84. The GOP is using Rendition to deal with her. She's joining that lobbyist.

The lobbyist that was blowing McCain to get her bills passed.

[Overseas]

85. She'll remain in charge of fundraising for a team she thinks cannot run a major corporation.

Wow, what a fabulous role model.

[hasssan1]

90. I don't like Carly , but she was 100% right and maybe she didn't lie for the first time in her life.

[Canuckistanian]

91. Petty, vindictive, mean-spirited....

Hmm, who am I reminded of?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

92. McCain flung his wet diaper across the room in disgust
