Well somebody, had the wit to ask if Sarah Palin is qualified to be president of HP. Answer from the discharged president of HP, "No." I had hoped Ezra Klein, who was covering the Republican convention when I sent this email on September 3 would get a chance to ask this question.
Ezra,
The GOP elites are all enthusiastically assuring us that Palin is qualified to be President. I wonder what, in their minds, the minimum qualifications are. For example, is she qualified to be Secretary of State? Or Sec'y of Treasury or Defense? Is she qualified to be CEO of Ebay or HP. What about CEO of Wal-Mart or Bank of America? Maybe you'll get a chance to ask.

It is reported that when Carly Fiorina clarified her assessment by saying that John McCain also was not qualified to run HP she was angrily relieved of duties of speaking for the McCain campaign.
