Hoping to oust Senator Barbara Boxer (D) from her long-held seat, Carly Fiorina (R) has released a video biography in the hopes Californians want to get to know this "5'6" fireball."
The LAT's PolitiCal summarizes:
Against the strains of soaring music, the two-minute, 25-second video provides a sunny overview of Fiorina’s nearly six-year tenure as chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, glossing over the controversies that occurred under her watch before she was forced out by the board of directors in 2005. “She moved, she shaked*, she accomplished, first the obvious and then the complex,” says the announcer. “And she did it with a smile.”
*Kind of amazing, considering "shaked" isn't actually a word.
