Sure, Carly, You Can Do Economics
One surefire way to get rich is not to pay your bills. It seems to have worked for Carly Fiorina, the person who claims to know “how the economy actually works.”
She made it work for herself by not paying her staff for her senate run against Barbara Boxer in 2010.
Until late last year, Fiorina was close to $500,000 in debt from her 2010 run, nearly all of it in unpaid compensation to campaign staffers and outside consultants, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
All the bill were paid in full when she decided to run for president. Fiorina is supposedly worth $120 million. One consultant died with Fiorina owing him $30,000, didn’t pay his widow the monies owned him until January of this year.
Yep, that’s Republican economics.
Friends who worked for HP during Fiorina’s time there called it a reign of terror and a reign of error. She’s not well-remembered there, to say the least.
1Me, me, me, me, me, me, me . . . . I think you get the picture.
2That’s how the rich get rich and stay rich. We got and we gon’ keep.
3She has about as much chance of winning the nomination as an armadillo has of outrunning a semi.
4Way to go Reince! Gotta love his outreach to women following the epic Palin FAIL. Dumb with implants failed, so trot out stupider with failed implants. Somewhere within the crazy, there’s a formula. First one to crack the code wins a free bumper sticker of their choice. And, no Piyush Jindal, your “we have got to stop being the party of stupid” is not a winner.
5She is the female version of Donald Trump.
6I’m guessing the board of directors over at HP is thinking, “Told you so!”
7Teh Gerg@1: “She’s not well-remembered there…”
Au contraire, she is well-remembered. She is NOT fondly remembered, however. And she is certainly well-remembered by about 30,000 ex-HP engineers, again not fondly.
Kinda like Elizabeth “Liddy” Dole at the DOT during the Reagan years. DOT personnel from that era remember her in vivid detail… and at least among those DOT people I’ve talked to, not at all fondly.
Ask for an opinion on either from someone who was there during their tenures, and it will usually peel the paint and wallpaper off your walls.
8Why are all the Republicans such jackasses? I saw where War Criminal Allen West tried to buy an alcoholic beverage at WalMart and the underage employee couldn’t scan it.
Happens every day, right?
NOT! This WalMart employee was clearly refusing to serve Allen West on RELIGIOUS grounds because how does he know? Because of the nametag on the underage employee not being suitably Christian American. “I’ve been Sharia’d” wept West. Christian patriots are being forced to provide abortions at gay weddings, and the Muslims are allowed to let someone else scan the liquor until they are 21. Cue the violins, and tell the (non-Spanish!) Inquisition they are on in five.
I think everyone in America should refuse to serve Allen West anything to drink on humanitarian grounds. He’s clearly had enough.
9Will that work for me?
10daChipster scores question of the day with: “Why are all the Republicans such jackasses?” They speak, they deliver their jackassery.
Having observed Carly Fido run against Senator Boxer, I have no unearthly idea as to why Carly would up her game to be chewed alive by HRC. Death wish maybe?
Then there’s the Jebster busily proving he isn’t the once alleged smart brother. Just WOW. Dumber than Dubya. Babs must be so proud.
11Well, hey, she makes the TOP of my list of candidates…wait a sec–nope, had the list upside down, carry on, nothing to see here!
12Goes to prove that stoopid is not gender specific.
13Now I am REALLY confused because I thought THEY were the Elepants and WE were the jackasses. I guess it’s too complicated for Aggies (exhibit A:Rick Perry, to my everlasting sorrow!)
14Heartless b—h.
