Carly Fiorina who failed at HP, failed to show up and vote, and failed spectacularly as a spokesmodel for the McCain/Mooseshit Crazy campaign wants to bring her special brand of notsuccess to California and America. We are so excited!
Fiorina, the first woman to lead a Fortune 500 company and a former surrogate for John McCain’s presidential bid, filed a tax identification number and registered a campaign committee with the IRS Tuesday called "Carly for California."
"The people of California have serious concerns about job creation, economic growth and the role of government in solving problems that touch each of our lives," Fiorina said in a statement. "I have received a great deal of encouragement to make a run for the Senate in 2010 from people across the political spectrum because these are all issues that need focused attention in Washington, D.C."
"Hi. I’m Carly Fiorina. I laid off 15,000 people at Hewlett-Packard and walked away with a 21 million dollar check and on the day that I was fired HP’s stock jumped 6.9%. So….um…well…. Jesus, 9/11, freedom, success! Also. Wolverines!"

I have received a great deal of encouragement to make a run for the Senate in 2010 from people across the political spectrum
This spectrum includes the reflection in my mirror, my own self, me, and my mother.
I suppose these people don’t think that Meg Whitman has much chance of being elected Governor.
Is that an aluminum suit she is wearing?
wolverines !!!!!
and palin/bachman 2012 … there’s yer ticket … [double crazy ought to get ‘er done.. eh ]
yes .. too.. also .. ubetcha
If more republicans followed her lead, what a great country this could be!
Oh, this should be fun. One of these days, I swear I’ll break down and buy a popcorn-maker.
And you weren’t clued in by the stifled laughter?
Another case of ability not matching ego.
Hatmandu, @3
It’s bulletproof as are all her duds after her stay at Hewlett Packard.
The “political spectrum” is a rainbow, and all of the leprechauns and unicorns gathered around it were quite effusive in their encouragement. How dare you doubt her!!!!
another “compassionate” conservative …
Dance, Failorina, Dance…
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin’ heart.
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustn’t once forget a dancer has to dance the part.
(Halloween Jack: you don’t need a machine. A quarter cup of oil in
a regular pot. Heat, dump in the popcorn, cover, listen, off heat, dig it.)
As a non-Republican, I totally would encourage her to run as a Republican
Oh god, another Republican blow-up doll is running for office. Make it stop, sweet Jeebuz, make is stop!
I actually waded through the muck of her autobiography (crystal meth, spare time). As part of a message she wanted to deliver that she “had balls,” Carly actually stuffed her pants with her husband’s socks and went before the podium. Haha hoohoo oh boy did everyone laugh ha ha omigod she’s got the crazy bug.
don’t forget the spying…
HalloweenJack, like MrWonderful, I still think popped-in-a-saucepan popcorn is better than either machine-popped or microwave. MrWonderful’s description is more soulful than mine: I’ll add only that less oil works fine if you shake it up, baby. Cheap eats this way, and G-d knows, the GOP continues to provide the entertainment.
The spying scandal was actually her successor, Patricia Dunn. That’s not to say that Carly wouldn’t have done the same thing. As an HP employee since the Compaq merger, this might get me to actually campaign for Barbara Boxer.
To err is human, to fail is Republican. Carly’s record of failure makes it almost inevitable that she would toss her tiara into the ring in California.
Well at least she isn’t running for governor…
Yet.
…just as Ms. Palin received encouragement from across the political spectrum, and contributions from the oil, salt, popcorn, and saucepan traders at various merc exchanges.
Sweet Fancy Moses she’s awful. And yet, how is she different than Diane Feinstein? Lord help us – this State sure provides an endless platform for “Teh Crazy”
Failing up, it’s the Republican way! (see Bush, George W.; McCain, John; Palin, Sarah; Pantlod, Doughy; etc., etc., etc.).

Translation: 8 of the 10 voices in my head think I’d make a great Senator.

She interacts with a broad swath of the electorate.
You might think she only know bankers, corporate lawyers, corporate execs and financial advisers.
But Carly also knows a lot of regular folks. Limo drivers, butlers, maids, gardeners, personal chefs, pool boys and more!
You mean, “Cally Fonicates”?
Sr. Dick has nailed it with the failing up deal.
All I can think of about a Carly candidacy is to wonder: how do you think that all those people that you laid off might actually vote for you? Na gonna happen.
My sis in NH is a former DEC/Compac?HP employee, and there are many of them there and in northern MA. Please let Carly campaign in NH for whatever Repub choses to run for office.
“Across the political spectrum” = from center right to far, far, wacked out lunatic fucking fringe right.
You know, like Fox News.
She doesn’t seem to understand this voting thing:
