After five years on the job, Carly Fiorina was ousted today as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, one of only eight women CEO's among the Fortune 500 companies. Results, not gender, was said to be the bottom line reason. Her orchestration of a controversial $19 billion merger with Compaq never produced more than erratic returns.

But it was glorious seeing her play so comfortably with the big boys and the big money. She'll no doubt be back in the game soon. (she leaves with a $21 million severance package according to Reuters News)

The seven remaining female major leaguers, in case you were wondering:

Mary Sammons, Rite Aid,  Eileen Scott, Pathmark Stores; Andrea Jung, Avon;  Anne Mulcahy, Xerox;  Marce Fuller, Mirant (an energy company);  Marion Sandler, Golden West Financial; Patricia Russo, Lucent Techologies.

You might be aware of Meg Whitman, CEO of one of our fave companies, eBay, but her outfit hasn't cracked the Fortune 500 yet, weighing in at number 678 at the top of the year.
