The Huffington Post has an article.  I’m not sure how to say this, but the article actually appears to be, well, correct.  {{ fainting }}
(Via Huffington Post) Carly Fiorina has a big problem with the truth. More specifically, she has a problem with embellishing the truth, in a manner very reminiscent of disgraced NBC anchor Brian Williams.

On Friday, conservative radio host Sean Hannity asked Fiorina to explain stories that Hewlett-Packard violated in the Iran embargo, by selling millions of dollars of computers, parts and equipment through a Dubai-based company, while she was CEO.
“The SEC did a thorough investigation and concluded that no one in management, myself included, knew anything about it,” Fiorina told Hannity.
She repeated the line, nearly verbatim, to FOX News Sunday host Chris Wallace, this weekend.
“In fact, the SEC investigation proved that neither I nor anyone else in management knew about it,” she told Wallace.
Yes, except the SEC investigation didn’t. In fact, the SEC didn’t perform an investigation at all, especially one that cleared her of any knowledge of the affair.
What is true is that the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance inquired about HP’s dealings with Iran. There was back and forth, with the SEC asking questions, and HP answering, which ended with this letter from the SEC. But, there is no record of the Enforcement Division — the only division that performs investigations — taking up the matter. Thus, no investigation was performed.
That, in and of itself, may have been a satisfactory answer. In fact, it would have been a very satisfactory answer.
It used to be. On Fiorina’s own 2010 Senate campaign fact-check site, the campaign makes no claim about the SEC clearing Fiorina of having any personal knowledge. It, unlike Fiorina herself, sticks to the facts in saying that the SEC “inquired about” — not “investigated” — the matter, but chose not to prosecute.
Further, an Associated Press story, posted at FOXNews.com, reported that HP “acknowledged that it knew” sales were occurring in Iran, despite the embargo, but maintained it did not violate the law.
So, there never was a real investigation into the matter, let alone one that declared her, or anyone at HP, innocent of any knowledge of the matter.
In short, Fiorina took the truth, and then added some tinsel, in lying to Sean Hannity and Chris Wallace.
This is part of an emerging and disturbing pattern with Fiorina, who has already been proven to embellish the facts.
As discussed in the Daily Mail, and then on “All In With Chris Hayes”, the core line of Fiorina’s story — that she went from “Secretary to CEO” — is more embellishment, than truth.
In fact, Fiorina didn’t rise from secretarial pool to CEO, like a real world version of “Working Girl.”
The daughter of the dean of Duke Law School, and top Nixon advisor, she took a part-time job as a secretary, while in law school, and then was put on the management track at AT&T. I worked in the dining hall in college, but I don’t go around saying that I rose from burger flipper to Presidential Campaign press secretary.
Again, the real story is impressive enough — a woman, in a man’s world, rising up to be CEO of Hewlett-Packard? Truly, color me impressed! But that is not good enough for Fiorina, who, again, takes a truth, and embellishes it for effect, so much so that is no longer the truth.  (read more)
