Having watched Fiorina implode in her Senate campaign, it is fascinating to watch the Village fawn over her now. She’s a mean-spirited ex-CEO who nearly destroyed HP and hasn’t had a job since. If that is “leadership,” I might almost prefer President Trump.

Thank you, Caitlin and TPM. It’s such bullshit that Carly Fiorina is playing the misogyny card when she did the exact same thing to another woman. She had no problem cackling like a high school mean girl while denigrating another woman’s appearance (never made sense to me how a white woman with a grey gheri curl had the stones to clown Boxer on her hair) and yet now we’re supposed to somehow feel some sort of sisterhood with this bitch now that a man had something negative (but true) to say about her appearance? Nope, sorry, sistah. That’s not how it works.

Hey, Plucky! Looks like Josh remembered Fiorina beating up on a candidate’s looks too!

Yep. This was brought up by some of us when Trump first dished Fiorina about her face. And a good reminder about what a posturing fraud Fiorina is.

It’;s not a thing TPM. Fiorina did not make a public statement on Boxer’s hair. She was caught on an open mic…making an innocuous statement about the “style” of Boxer’s hair. She did not say Boxer’s looks were relevant to her duties or limited them,. It was an open mic.
So the difference between Big Door and Carly is that Big Door doesn’t mind being a boor in public while Carly just got caught being one in private?
This is classic Mean Girl behavior and to slightly warp a line Carly used. “Every woman who went to high school and wasn’t with the Popular Crowd recognized what Fiorina said.”

Wonder if her picture is in the dictionary under Peter Principle?

Fiorina as a serious contender for POTUS is a non-starter. As it gets closer to their corn-ventin’ she won’t be able to get away glossing over her leadership short comings at HP. The more she keeps claiming responsibility for the short stick of a turn around that came about after she was fired the more vulnerable she makes herself.
Crying “I AM Woman” without uttering a single policy that advances women’s rights might play well to the country club Stepford women but it’s offensive to any intelligent female. Ms Sooner and her coven were not much impressed by her. She was still on her phone discussing Fiorina with friends, and not in a good way, when I finally turned in late last evening. And then up before me fielding more calls.
Words such as evil, nasty, harpy and horrid were being thrown around.

Her string of outright lies about Planned Parenthood plus her demand for what amounts to trillions more in military spending are a lot more important. She is a hypocrite in more ways than dissing Boxer. But anyway any of her various hairstyles and colors are far inferior to Boxer’s look, or Pelosi for that matter.

Nope. Too complicated for the general population to care. Her performance in last nights debate showed she was a contender. Either her or Trump will be on the ticket. Both could beat Clinton.
What? You serious or drunk? Neither Fiorina nor Trump could beat Clinton. Fiorina got her butt handed to her in her own State. And Trump’s xenophobia and disdain for women might fly in the South but not in other States.

I’ll bet HP executives recognize that look on Fiorina’s face in the handshake photo as the same one they saw just before getting fired.

“Horrido” ? A Nazi fighter pilot?? That’s funny! Are you the latest beej sock?
Trump is little more than a useful shill to tune up the clown car ahead of the GOTP corn-vention.
Carly? She’s an interesting new comer but will have an extremely short shelf life after she gets more exposure and becomes more and more shrill.
Your puppie won’t hunt will it Horrido?

Likety like.
I’ll take someone who is a shallow jerk about how women look over someone who believes women should not be allowed to make decisions about reproduction and who wants to reduce access to reproductive-health and family-planning services.

It was an open mic.
So was Romney’s statement about “the forty-seven percent.” You wanna run for national offices, then nothing that you yourself let come out of your mouth is off-limits.
It is very much indeed “a thing.”

I agree. I just can’t see her getting enough support from the red meat.
But I’m starting to think that Fiorina was never running for President, but has always had her sights set on a VP nod. I suspect that now that she’s made it onto the stage, she’ll start kissing up more and more to whomever she perceives as the frontrunner.
She’ll even kiss and make up with Trump if he becomes sufficiently yuuuge. Their heart-warming reunion could be the hit of the fall TV season.

Probably. She is certainly playing up the “I Am Woman” meme in an election cycle when the GOTP is actively trying to encourage greater female participation in what remains of the party.
Besides being a bitch, she’s obviously got problems with reality … take a look at the two hair-dos in the picture and tell me which one works … oh, and if you say that our current dilemma in the Middle East is due to Obama … you just disqualified yourself, as you obviously are completely divorced from the concept of reality.

You heard it here. Fiorina is a flash in the pan. She will never survive. The republicans have their favorites and she is not one of them
