“With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon [...]

Carly Fiorina Running For Senate?

She failed at HP. She failed on the McCain campaign. Time to fail again?

Yes, Sidney reminds us that his economic brain was failed CEO Carly Fiorina, so awesome was she [...]

Where’s Carly?

McCain rolled out a photo-op of his economic advisers today. Somehow the woman who was in the past touted as his “economic brain”, Carly Fiorina, is missing. Guess she was permanently thrown off the bus.

Obama Ad On McCain’s Economic Advisers

I said using Carly Fiorina would be a mistake for McCain. And it was!
“They think the economy is fundamentally strong. We know they’re fundamentally wrong.”

“Carly will now disappear”

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 [...]

Carly Fiorina’s Record

McCain’s economic brain? The scarecrow called, he wants his job back.

McCain’s “Economic Brain” Carly Fiorina Violated US Trade Boycott With Iran

Like other Republicans, Carly Fiorina supported corporate profit over national security.

Don Luskin, Another Loser On McCain’s Economic Team

Good, detailed research on how Donald Luskin, part of John McCain’s economic team could not see any problem with the crumbling subprime market or the overall economic slowdown. Combine this with the Carly Fiorina: Fail, Seriously, Fail expertise and this is clearly good for John McCain.
I can’t wait until he appoints Amy Winehouse as [...]

McCain Economic Lead Carly Fiorina Cut Jobs & Got A Pay Raise During Tenure At HP

In this case, let’s take a peep at one year during Fiorina’s [...]

RNC Victory Chair Carly Fiorina’s Tenure Of Failure At HP

PBS report on the massive fail of Carly Fiorina’s tenure as CEO of HP. Again, this is the GOP’s leading spokesperson right now for business and economics.

The story discusses Fiorina’s golden parachute of $21 million after she was effectively fired as well as how her massive layoffs undermined HP’s core innovation values.

Carly Fiorina And John McCain

When I first saw that John McCain was pushing failed CEO Carly Fiorina as his frontperson on business/economic issues I figured it was a little weird.
