Well, I guess this is my moment of weakness coming back to haunt me. I've gotten several e-mails on my Carly Fiorina post (I think it might have accidentally gotten onto the Huffington Post since they post Google Blog Search items apparently).
The e-mails look something like this.
You are completely wrong [on your post]. That's not what Carly Fiorina said and her actual quote wasn't trying to insult Palin at all.
The whole quotes was this.
“I don’t think John McCain could run a major corporation. I don’t think Barack Obama could run a major corporation. I don’t think Joe Biden could run a major corporation. But on the other hand a major corporation is not the same as being the president or vice president of the United States,” Fiorina said.
“It is a fallacy to suggest that the country is like a company. So of course to run a business you have to have a lifetime of experience in business, but that’s not what Sarah Palin, John McCain, Joe Biden or Barack Obama are doing,”
So she wasn't saying Palin was incompetent she was saying she didn't think any of the candidates could run a company. Next time try to know what your talking about!
Well, ok. I posted this for accuracy but let me explain something (since the people who are sending these e-mails obviously aren't readers of this blog).
I don't post on the actual politics of things. I will sometimes post on political strategy but I make very sure to leave any discussion on actual candidates and issues out of my posts. I don't believe that stuff has a place here.
So Governor Palin wasn't my point.
My post was focused on Carly Fiorina. My point with that post was (a) I don't like her (Fiorina not Palin) and (b) she's SO arrogant that she sacrificed her role in the campaign to make herself look big ("oh, I ran a corporation, but they couldn't"). So the fact that she also said McCain, Obama and Biden couldn't do it just bolsters my point: That she's arrogant to the point of incompetence.
'nuff said.
