Carli Fiorini and her sexism...

Oh the irony. The sad irony. According to Politico, Carli Fiorini stated that Sarah Palin, and John McCain, lacks the necessary experience to run a major company, like HP. On the McGraw Milhaven show on KTRS radio in St Louis, Fiorini was asked:

"Do you think she has the experience to run a major company like Hewlett Packard?"

"No, I don’t," she replied. "But that’s not what she’s running for. Running a corporation is a different set of things."

I just cannot take the sexism by Fiorini. On behalf of those who are against Palin/ McCain, I think she should issue a public apology. And then continue her stumping for John McCain.

On a serious note. I understand Fiorini relies on an a fortiori argument (if you can do the simple, you can do the complex; if you can't do the simple, you cannot do the complex) but what does this say about the American Aristocracy, er, American Republican. Presidents are okay but they are not CEOS... even as most major CEOs like Fiorini get paid an enormous amount of money, and wonderful severance packages, to watch their companies tank. MBAs of the world, unite.
