AFL-CIO chief to assail candidates Whitman and Fiorina as 'clueless CEOs'

California Republicans' candidates for Senate and governor are just a pair of "clueless CEOs," AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka is set to charge Friday.

Trumka will take to the steps of City Hall in Los Angeles for a rally against Meg Whitman, the former eBay CEO and GOP candidate for governor, and Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO.

The union chief is set to assail Republicans over their jobs effort during the afternoon speech, ramping up his rhetoric against Whitman and Fiorina as the pair climb in the polls.

"So in the elections for governor and senator, who do the Republicans throw at the problem? Two clueless CEOs: Meg Whitman, who was too shady even for the board of Goldman Sachs; and Carly Fiorina, who laid off 30,000 Hewlett-Packard employees, shipped jobs overseas, got fired — with a $20-plus million golden parachute — and was labeled one of the worst CEOs of all time," Trumka will say.

Union head slams GOP morons?

2. But, necessary when folks are so easily fooled by the likes of Fiorina and Whitman

And, when the races are so close.

3. Speaking of Trumpka, he will appear next on Hardball with Chuckie Todd sitting in for Tweety

4. Chuckie working hard to hurt Dems with Trumpka, but Trumpka pointed out R's did not support labor

and that labor supported those candidates, in either party, who supported them. Trumpka also thinks they will get a vote on card check--and it matters not to him if it's in a lame duck Congress.
