BernieHund: The Political Watchdog

It seems that Carly Fiorna couldn’t stick to the script any longer.

Or, perhaps Ms. Fiorina has grown as tired of saying “sexist” this and that as we are of hearing it.

According to Carly Fiorina:

Fiorina was asked about Palin by a host of the McGraw-Hill Show on St. Louis KTRS Radio: “Do you think she has the experience to run a major company, like Hewlett Packard?”

“No, I don’t,” Fiorina responded. “But you know what? That’s not what she’s running for.”

When interviewed by Andrea Mitchell, Fiorina said

Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina amended her comments from earlier today that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could not run a major corporation like HP.

How? By saying that Sen. John McCain couldn’t run one either.

In an interview on NBC with Andrea Mitchell, Fiorina was asked about her comment. In response, she said, “Well, I don’t think John McCain could run a major corporation.”

Of course, Fiorina did go on to say that none of the candidates could run a major corporation.  And, of course, Ms. Fiorina went on to say that running the country and running a corporation we totally different.  My first question is how would she know?  She has never run a country and obviously, she met her match while running Hewlitt-Packard.  It seems that Carly is qualified to run neither.  But, she can scream “sexist” at every turn.  Additionally, it seems that Fiorina has learned to take one foot out of her mouth and insert the other.

If there is one thing I do agree with it is that Sarah Palin can no more run a major corporation than John McCain can.  So, how can we expect the McCain/Palin ticket to solve the problems created by the major corporations… the banks?

John McCain’s latest ad seems to indicate he has the answer.  Yet, having voted over 90% of the time with the Bush administration I am reminded that doing more of what doesn’t work, doesn’t make it work any better.

Oh!  Carly wasn’t the only one hopping on one foot today.

Fiorina’s comment was the second gaffe for a McCain staffer today. Earlier, Doug Holtz-Eakin suggested that McCain created the Blackberry, a statement which was later called “boneheaded” by a McCain spokesman.
