Carly Fucks Up By Telling The Truth

On CNN via Huffington Post comes this bit of comedy gold.


Asked by a St. Louis radio station whether she thought Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin could run a company like Hewlett-Packard, Fiorina responded: "No, I don't.

“But that's not what she's running for. Running a corporation is a different set of things."

Asked about that remark on MSNBC, she made the same unprompted assessment of the GOP presidential nominee. "I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation."

--SNIP--

"Carly will now disappear," this source said. "Senator McCain was furious." Asked to define "disappear," this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.

Fiorina was booked for several TV interviews over the next few days, including one on CNN. Those interviews have been canceled.

Of course this is the same Carly Fiorina that cratered HP's share price and got her ass fired. And of course this means that she would end up as Secretary of Commerce in a McCain administration.

McCain for Prime Minister

It occurred to me while reading a post over at Angry Bear that perhaps John McCain has just become confused as to which election he is running in.

Canada is having an election as well and since he thinks that Crocs and the Blackberry are the kinds of things that make this country great, maybe he is talking about Canada.

As a Canadian living in the US I am not sure that I would wish him on my native country but I sure as hell know that I am not very interested in having someone as out of touch with reality as he seems to be running my adopted one.

Fuck No!

via Naked Capitalism and Calculated Risk comes news of this proposed nationalization of AIG. And let's call it what it is ... when the govt buys 80% of something .. it is a state owned company ... Welcome to the Union of American Socialist States.

By the way, I am not averse to socialism .. i just would like my healthcare first before we bail out every greedy fuck that raped the financial markets over the last few years.

But no .. I am not bitter at all

WTF


From fivethirtyeight.com
How the flying fuck does this make sense in a world where people can actually tie their fucking shoes without assistance.

John McCain is old, cranky, stupid and out of touch.
Sarah Palin is completely unqualified, loves pork, a lying twit and completely fucking clueless about anything outside the border of alaska.

If the election was held today they would win ...

I fear for this country.

Just Fucking Appalling

Via Huffington Post Comes this at politico.com
McCain was scheduled to deliver his acceptance speech Thursday but now may do so from the devastation zone if the storm hits the U.S. coast with the ferocity feared by forecasters.
This would be the most cynical political move in decades.

How many aid workers would be pulled away to protect this asshole while he gave his speech.

Even the GOP cannot be this fucking stupid.
