(CNN) — Top McCain-Palin official Carly Fiorina is facing criticism from some within the campaign for a day of what they call "very Biden-like" :eyes: comments, after the former Hewlett-Packard CEO told two separate interviewers that neither member of the Republican ticket would be capable of running a company.

Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden is noted for his off-the-cuff gaffes.

Asked by a St. Louis radio station whether she thought Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin could run a company like Hewlett-Packard, Fiorina responded: "No, I don't"

Asked about that remark on MSNBC, she made the same unprompted assessment of the GOP presidential nominee. "I don't think John McCain could run a major corporation."
-----------------

A top McCain official contacted by CNN said, on condition on anonymity, "No big deal, but not how you get on the surrogate all-star team. Very Biden-like."

“This campaign source said Fiorina would be discouraged from additional media interviews.

Another top campaign adviser was far less diplomatic.

"Carly will now disappear," this source said. "Senator McCain was furious." Asked to define "disappear," this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.

4. How not to run a company

Well, Carly knows how to run a company. Run, ruin, something like that. She took what had been a great company, and ran it into the ground. Took the PC division -- previously known mostly for servers and high-end workstations -- and merged it with one of the worst computer makers out there. Spun off the test equipment! Engineers loved HP equipment. Now it's Allegory, or Alligator or Agrivant, or whatever. Do you own a laser printer -- Is it an HP? Before Carly, that answer would have almost always been "yes". The legendary calculators? All but gone, what there are now made in China. They had to bribe her to leave! As an engineer it makes me sad to see what she did to Bill and Dave's company.

5. To say running this country is unlike running a business is absurd

It's not just business and government that are run that way...families are run like a business, organized religion, organized crime, little league baseball...the entire world system is run like a business and, yes, i would like to know that our "ceo" was familiar with these principles
