“Carly will now disappear”

2:44 am EST September 17th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 14 Comments

A few months ago I was incredulous that the McCain campaign had appointed as one of its top economic spokespersons Carly Fiorina, someone who is most infamous in the business and tech world for being a heck of a failure. It is sort of the political equivalent of hiring Ryan Leaf to be your starting quarterback right after he flamed out of the NFL.

So it is almost no surprise after she called both Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin unqualified to be a CEO (along with Barack Obama and Joe Biden) that they now appear to be disappearing Ms. Fiorina.

You’ll remember that McCain leaned on Fiorina for economic advice, and she was even called “McCain’s economic brain”. As Bush showed us with Vladmir Putin and Michael Brown, these guys are really bad at this.

    “Carly will now disappear,” this source said. “Senator McCain was furious.”

    If I could ever get the inserting of pictures to work I’d post one of Paulie Walnuts right about here.

    She’s going to disappear?

    Would that be…”under the bus”?

    That, my friends is a reflection of the fundamental emptiness of the McCain campaign.

    What’s quite funny is that Sarah Palin once dressed up as Carly Fiorina for Halloween.

    Hmmm… I thought Sarah would either dress up as Elvira or Phyllis Schlafly!

    Now, if only both Fiorina and Palin could end up, politically, like Phil Leotardo…

    PD, is that image from the ending of “Bonnie & Clyde”?

    hey, great Pictures.

    ‘Now, I want Obama to give it to McCain straight, “Which one of the Keating Five actually had a substantial investment with Charles Keating and stood to make money off his savings and loan?” And watch McCain’s face turn purple.

    (answer: about 360K of Cindy McCain’s money invested with Charles Keating plus many payouts to Senator McCain.)
