She Should Know?

Should we even be listening to Carly Fiorina? Should we be taking her seriously? If you owned stock in AT&T and/or Lucent Technologies you probably can guess where this post is going to go. If you were a stockholder in these companies, let me ask you question. How fond are you of Carly Fiorina?

From McCain adviser Fiorina: Palin not ready to run a corporation:

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO turned top John McCain aide, said she doesn't think Sarah Palin is qualified to run a major corporation. For that matter, Fiorina said, McCain, Obama and Biden aren't capable of that kind of job either.

The Republican presidential candidate has been trying to portray himself as someone who can fix the country's economic woes. But that is a far different task than running a Fortune 500 corporation, Fiorina told MSNBC Tuesday.

Democratic candidate Barack Obama's camp immediately circulated copies of her words -- which didn't exactly paint their candidate in a soft light, either.

"Well, I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation, I don't think Barack Obama could run a major corporation, I don't think Joe Biden could run a major corporation," Fiorina said.

"It is a fallacy to suggest that the country is like a company. So, of course, to run a business, you have to have a lifetime of experience in business, but that's not what Sarah Palin, John McCain, Joe Biden or Barack Obama are doing."

What a difference a few years make. Do you remember the CEO president?

Of course Carly Fiorina seemed unable to run two major corporations. So I suppose she knows what she is talking about.

Fiorina was president of Hewlett-Packard until her high-profile ousting in 2006 after the company's unfavorable performance.

She was also behind the rousing success of Lucent Technologies. Remember them?

Tell me again, why did McCain pick her as a top economic advisor? Maybe it’s because of all that experience that she’s picked up at the Fox Business Network.

Or maybe it’s because she’s in touch with average Americans who have lost their jobs just like her:

Her firing netted Fiorina a severance package of more than $21 million and helped fuel the publication last year of her best-selling memoir, "Tough Choices."
