Well, we weren't, but we will.  Carly Fiorina's salary, specifically.

Get this:  She took home a salary of $1.4 million, up from $1 million in 2001 and 2002.  She took home a bonus of $2.1 million on top of that, down from $2.9 million in 2002.  She also raked in 700,000 shares in stock options, and declined an additional retention bonus of $2 million that she was eligible for.

And on top of this, she received an additional $170,000 -- probably two to four people's salaries depending on deniority and location -- in "other compensation", including "payment for company-required personal use of HP aircraft" (such a hardship, that, having to fly the brand-new corporate Lears, or was it Gulfstreams, instead of flying cattle-class on Southwest with the rest of us mere peons) and mortgage assistance?!?!?

Lemme see if I have this straight. She pulls down $3.4 million in combined salary and bonus, and she needs mortgage assistance?  What's she doing, buying the frelling Palace at Versailles?
