AFL-CIO chief to assail candidates Whitman and Fiorina as 'clueless CEOs'
By Michael O'Brien - 08/13/10 06:00 AM ET

California Republicans' candidates for Senate and governor are just a pair of "clueless CEOs," AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka is set to charge Friday.

Trumka will take to the steps of City Hall in Los Angeles for a rally against Meg Whitman, the former eBay CEO and GOP candidate for governor, and Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO.

The union chief is set to assail Republicans over their jobs effort during the afternoon speech, ramping up his rhetoric against Whitman and Fiorina as the pair climb in the polls.

"So in the elections for governor and senator, who do the Republicans throw at the problem? Two clueless CEOs: Meg Whitman, who was too shady even for the board of Goldman Sachs; and Carly Fiorina, who laid off 30,000 Hewlett-Packard employees, shipped jobs overseas, got fired — with a $20-plus million golden parachute — and was labeled one of the worst CEOs of all time," Trumka will say.

3. This about sums it it.

The majority of refugnicon candidates are nothing but clueless, corrupt
corporate losers. Just what we need in Washington, more brain dead sock puppets.
