Carly Fiorina: "contrast my proven record of success with Barbara Boxer's failed 28-year career"

That's the lead on today's email from the Fiorina campaign. Apparently she hasn't been burnt enough yet by be-careful-what-you-ask-for; so here goes, Carly:

Any questions?

Fiorina must be counting on people outside of Silicon Valley being completely unaware of her track record. And she can write off the liberal Valley anyway, neatly slicing Lincoln's adage about some of the people/all of the people in half, to her advantage.

There's plenty more if you but look. She's reading from the canned "CEOs Know Best" script, which has lines about how she'll create jobs. A breathtaking half-truth: She's created lots of jobs in India and other foreign lands, but gave HP the first layoff in its up-to-then distinguished life. She loves the H1B visa as a way to cut American workers down to size.

The woman has the brass balls of a CEO, but no substance to back it up. Her sole MO is to shriek in your face like a harpy until you just can't take it any more.

Oh, and she's been endorsed by Palin and is becoming ever-more-popular with the tea party set. Need I say more?
