I expected to see a cat fight between Carly Fiorina and Barbara Boxer and now I got one...at
least the first hiss was from Carly. Carly wants Babs' job as California US Senator and her first missive was about Barb's hairstyle..apparently too "yesterday" for Carly but I understand why she's hair-sensitive having had breast cancer treatments...but that's no reason to vote for her..she's not exactly the best manager in the world: In early January 2005, the Hewlett-Packard board of directors discussed with Fiorina a list of issues that the board had regarding the company's performance.The board proposed a plan to shift her authority to HP division heads, which Fiorina resisted.A week after the meeting, the confidential plan was leaked to the Wall Street Journal. Less than a month later, the board brought back in Tom Perkins and forced Fiorina to resign as chairman and chief executive officer of the company. The company's stock jumped on news of Fiorina's departure. Under the company's agreement with Fiorina, which was characterized as a golden parachute by some, she was paid slightly more than twenty million dollars in severance. When Fiorina became CEO in July, 1999, HP's stock price was $52 per share, and when she left 5 1/2 years later in February, 2005, it was $21 per share—a loss of over 60% of the stock's value. During this same time period, HP competitor Dell's stock price increased from $37 to $40 per share.
as for Boxer, she can annoy me but I will never forget how she grilled ENRON pisshead Jeff Skilling, who now sits in jail for trying to screw working Californian's out of their money..may he rot in jail..or he may not..he and his lawyers are trying to get the Supreme Court to get him a new trial...but I would advise against this..he's much safer in jail..so for putting Skilling in jail, I will vote for Boxer...as for Carly, I hope she finds a hairdo she likes...
