Surely Rush is smart enough to know that Fiorina is a sitting duck for absolutely wuthering Democrat swiftboat attacks.

While CEO of HP, Fiorina illegally sold millions of dollars worth of items to Iran — Companies in the United States were prohibited from exporting to Iran after Bill Clinton signed two executive orders in 1995. Despite these strict U.S. export sanctions, Fiorina did business with Iran through European and Middle Eastern companies. HP then conquered the market in Tehran, and by 2007 accounted for 41 percent of the total market share. The company denied any wrongdoing, but admitted to selling “$120 million dollars worth of products to Redington Gulf, which then sent the products to Iran.”

She was considered one of the worst CEOS of all time- Arianna Packard, the granddaughter of HP’s founder, commented on Fiorina when the politician was running for Senate in in 2010. “I know a little bit about Carly Fiorina, having watched her almost destroy the company my grandfather founded,” Packard said. During her time as CEO, shareholder wealth was sliced by 52% while Fiorina “pocketed over $100 million in compensation.” She also received a $65 million signing bonus and a $21 million severance.
