No quarter for someone who ruined at least 30,000 lives while voting herself a pay raise to re-decorate her mansionS.

Also, what does gender have to do with this? It'd actually be misogynistic to suggest a woman is incapable of being a fiend.

Historically and arguably, while we're worrying about "being the better person", they're winning elections. There's sensitivity and there's picking the right battles, which we're not always collectively good at doing.

Following the latest Fiorina news has become a bit of a hobby for some HP alums.

About a half dozen ex-employees who previously worked in the Palo Alto, California, headquarters have been exchanging some lively emails in recent weeks to discuss Fiorina's presidential prospects. The contents of the emails were shared with CNN by multiple participants on the condition that they not be named.

"I said when Carly was mentioned as a possible running mate with John McCain, he's a war hero and former POW. I think he's suffered enough already,"
one person wrote.

She's about as good at this as she was running a corporation.

is what she was hired by the GOP to do. Does she really think she has an ice cube's chance in hell of becoming president? NO. But the GOP needs a woman to hound Hillary's every move, so they won't appear sexist. If any of the men in the GOP clown car took too many pot shots at her they increase their odds of saying something so inanely stupid that will turn even the GOP women away.

Depends on your stock position as to if it was a bust or a brillant move.
