Carly Fiorina is available to ruin your company
This week former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and chief McCain economic advisor Carly Fiorina came out and said that Sarah Palin wasn't fit to run a big company. That didn't make the McCain campaign too happy, so she later went on CNN to clarify that was she meant was that John McCain's not qualified to run a company either. She was rewarded for this fine surrogate work by being immediately thrown under the bus.

3. Oh, She'll Bounce Back
much to my shock and dismay, the worst CEO's somehow continue to get more offers with ungodly salaries, bonuses and parachute packages, just in case they are fired again.

5. That doesn't make her Statements wrong,
maybe she can learn from her mistakes, instead of making the same mistakes.
