Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin does not have the experience to run a major company like Hewlett Packard.

So says Carly Fiorina, one of John McCain's top advisers and the former CEO of that company....

LOL -- Carly Fiorina is an expert on the subject of not being qualified to run a major company.

True. But she has run a state the size of western europe.

And Obama has written his memoirs.

Carly was the most disliked CEO to run HP before she was shown the door by the company's board.

And yet, she beat you out for the number 2 spot on the ticket, Carly.

In context, it’s not that bad:

“Fiorina made the comments on the McGraw-Hill Show on St. Louis KTRS Radio, a statement that was first reported by Huffington Post.

During the final minute of the interview, the host asked: “Do you think she has the experience to run a major company, like Hewlett Packard?”

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

Does Obama? No. Unlike Salin, he has no business experience whatsoever, much less the type of experience to be a CEO of a major American corporation like Hewlitt Packard. But without reading that article, I bet the Washington Compost did not ask Carli that question, and unfortunately she didn’t volunteer the answer either.

Obviously Palin has experience — successful experience — running a state government and a local government. This type of experience is far more relevant to the office for which she is actually running: vice-president.

I guess that Carly would know about being non-qualified. After all, she pretty much destroyed Lucent and came close to destroying HP as well.

Those are two totally different sets of qualifications. Do you think Algore could run a major company? Not a chance.

Carly meant to say that Palin does not have the experience to ruin a major company like Carly can.

Carly’s critics wanted to crucify her for the H-P/Compaq merger, but it has worked out well for the company. I don’t buy H-P products since they are mostly based on the dog-crap Microsoft Windows operating system, but still, H-P’s business has done well compared to Dell’s.

Since Mark Hurd took over, H-P has become a criminal enterprise. They got caught caught in some spying scandals. Several execs have been indicted. The chairman of the board nearly went to prison. And now they’re going to lay off 25,000 employees. It’s time to dump Hurd.

Algore couldn't run much of anything, except into the ground.
