'You dolt'! Politico hack's tweet about Carly Fiorina is an exercise in 'stupidity'

First rule of journalism? When there’s no juicy story, just make one up, and hopefully it’ll stick.

OK, well, that’s the rule if you’re Politico’s Blake Hounshell, at least. Take a gander at this ridiculousness:

Bad timing for Carly. RT @jhseher: Hewlett-Packard says it will cut 25,000 to 30,000 jobs.

‘Scuse us?

Oh come on .. And how is this bad timing?https://t.co/ucgZHYnNv9 @blakehounshell @jhseher

It isn’t. But doggone it, Blake’s gonna do his damnedest to make it bad.

Why? @blakehounshell https://t.co/UE411B5AFd

— S D Winkler (@sdwinkler) September 15, 2015

Because he says so, that’s why!

Yep. Too bad he’s completely full of it.

@blakehounshell How does that have anything to do with her?

— TFC3Tweets (@TFC3Tweets) September 15, 2015

So? What does this have to do with her? Stupid fuckwit https://t.co/9TRG8jyVF9

@blakehounshell why? You know she's not in charge anymore right?

— Swedish Chef (@Badash78) September 15, 2015

And she hasn’t been for a long, long time.

@blakehounshell She been running the company behind the scenes? Something only politico knows about? @jhseher

@blakehounshell @jhseher #Liberallogic @CarlyFiorina hasn't worked with HP since 2005, but "Today's" announcement is somehow tied to her.

— DallenH ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (@d_allen_h) September 15, 2015

@blakehounshell @jhseher This qualifies for dumbest Tweet of the day right here. She's been gone from HP for 10 years, you dolt.

— Allen (@wcu80) September 15, 2015

@baldingschemer @blakehounshell @BarackObama @jhseher Carly hasn't been with HP for over a decade. Blame Bush, but wait longer.

Guess not.

Yep. Whatever it takes to knock her down, facts be damned!

Carly blamed for HP cutting 30k jobs *this year* but Obama has nothing to do w/ lowest workforce participation since 1978. @blakehounshell

Hopefully Fiorina can draw at least a little comfort from this kind of hacky garbage:

So there’s that!
