In this season of miracles, let us pause to consider the miracle of Hewlett-Packard. Under the leaderpship of Carly Fiorina, it should have imploded and formed a black hole that sucked up this corner of the galaxy, but it didn’t. Praise Dagon! (Possible autoplay at the link.)

GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said she did not misspeak during Tuesday night’s debate when she said that Gen. Jack Keane retired early because he “told President Obama things that he didn’t want to hear.”

But Keane, who served during the Bush administration, retired before Obama became president.

Keane retired in 2003. When Obama was still in the Illinois General Assembly.

For those of you who were unaware of the latest Carly Counterfactual, stop reading now if you wish to remain so too late:

Fiorina referenced Keane in Tuesday night’s Republican debate as part of a group of a “warrior class” generals she pledged to bring back if elected as president to aid in the fight against ISIS.

“One of the things I would immediately do in addition to defeating them here at home is bring back the warrior class: Petraeus, McChrystal, Mattis, Keane, Flynn,” Fiorina said in the debate. “Every single one of these generals I know, every one was retired early because they told President Obama things that he didn’t want to hear.”

Speaking of people not wanting to hear things, Ms. Fiorina … Oh, forget it.

“No, I didn’t misspeak,” Fiorina told reporters today. “He has been someone of great experience who has been highly critical of the way this administration has not taken threats seriously and unfortunately he hasn’t been listened to and I would listen to him.

Good thing none of these dudes is dead or she’d be Vince Foster Conspiracy Theorying up a storm and we’d all die laughing. But the fact she has no idea why Petraeus was “retired early” and thinks he should be brought back was even more of a howler than the initial claim about Keane.

And while the chance that she’ll be nominated ranks down there with the chance Ted Cruz will stop reminding everyone of that terminally damp guy who stares at girls on the train, don’t expect to see the back of her until sometime after the election. Whoever does get the nomination may well pick her as VP. Unless team GOP stays confused about who it’s running against and picks Dr. Carson.
