McCain: Fiorina a 'Role Model' dude what?

Republican presidential nominee John McCain has been on a tear of late about the exorbitant buyout packages that dismissed executives take from their companies.

He has proclaimed that former Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac CEOs (and Obama supporters) Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines should "give back" the $21 million and $25 million severance packages they received.

So wouldn't it seem logical that former Hewlett-Packard executive (and McCain supporter) Carly Fiorina should send back her $42-million golden parachute?

Apparently not.

Reminded that Johnson and Raines, like Fiorina, received the money from shareholders rather than taxpayers, McCain said: "First of all ... Fannie and Freddie, as we know, were quasi-government organizations, clearly organizations that at least made people believe, and market believe, that they were part of the federal government.''

He's crazy
