    Oh a woman!

    I know all the women at BS are just so ecstatic over Carly. She’s a woman! She’s powerful! She’s a CEO! But let’s put things in perspective. Carly Fiorina presided over the worst downward slide in HP’s entire history. She was asked to resign by the board of directors. HP stock jumped up almost 10% when she did.

    In a way, Carly is a lot like Hillary. Her supporters care more that she is female than they do about her abilities.
