Politics makes strange bedfellows, even more so when the relationship is strange to begin with.
The observation is prompted by a full-page advertisement placed in Thursday's New York Times by Carly for America, the super-PAC backing former Hewlett-Packard chairman Carly Fiorina's campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination. The ad, headlined "The Truth About Carly," features a letter signed by multi-millionaire venture capital investor Thomas Perkins defending her management at HP and expressing his support for her Presidential candidacy.
It's a curious document. Perkins was a board member of HP during much of Fiorina's tenure as its chairman and chief executive (1999-2005).
