McCain Economic Adviser Carly Fiorina’s Golden Parachute -

Fiorina was dismissed as the CEO of Hewlett Packard in 2005 after a merger with Compaq floundered, stock prices plunged 50 percent, and 20,000 people were layed off. Fiorina walked away with a $21.4 million severance package.

Asked whether McCain was talking about CEOs like Fiorina, McCain’s top adviser who walked away with millions in compensation as her company’s stock price plunged, Rogers said McCain was “talking about the issues that are before us today.”

“We’re talking about Freddie and Fannie and CEOs like Jimmy Cayne of Bear Stearns, Angelo Mozilo at Countrywide, folks that are largely responsible for what happened and walk away with this kind of multimillion dollar payout,” Rogers said.

“I don’t think there’s any analogy there,” Rogers said referring to Fiorina.
