SOME FAILURES NEVER DIE NOR FADE AWAY
They Just Move on to Wreak Greater Havoc Elsewhere

Incredibly, the New York Times today reports, in “Ex-Chief of Hewlett Seen as Candidate to Head World Bank,” by Elizabeth Becker:

Carleton S. Fiorina, who lost her job as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard last month, has emerged as a strong candidate to become the next president of the World Bank, according to an official in the Bush administration.

Paul D. Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense, is also under serious consideration, according to the official, who did not want to be identified because discussion about the candidates was continuing.

Fiorina or Wolfowitz? Six of one, half dozen of the other, as they say. Except Ms. Fiorina didn’t exactly kill anyone during her wretched tenure at H-P. Not that I’ve heard so far, anyway.
