Fiorina Caught on Open Mic-Mocking Meg Whitman & Sean Hannity
Fiorina Caught on Open Mic
Carly Fiorina (R) was caught on an open microphone this morning where she mocked Sen. Barbara Boxer's (D-CA) hair and crticized Meg Whitman's decision to give an interview to Sean Hannity. It's today's must see video.

Here's the clip from CNN:

1. She's always had a bad case of Foot in Mouth Disease
Let's hope she doesn't find a cure for the next few months.

2. Cheap and classless
I don't really care what she said about Whitman and Hannity, because it was true, but mocking somebody's hair is just cheap.

16. I would expect candidates to act a little more mature
After all, she is running to be US Senator and is talking like this on an open mic.

3. Um, what's so great about
Ms. Fiorino's do?

Does she have standing to say Boxer's is "so yesterday"?

17. I know! You'd think it would make her have
more compassion.

5. this isn't really that bad
I just don't get why she thinks Hannity isn't an easy interview.

10. The only thing I could think of is he might ask her about her pro-choice position on abortion. n/t

6. Nothing there. She gave Hannity a compliment & dissed on Boxer's hair. A very female thing to do.

15. She does have the excuse
of chemotherapy.

It just makes it hard to take anyone seriously when they much such inane comments though...

9. I'm not sure I like these "accidental live mic" stories.
It just seems like poor form on the part of the news agency. Same with the Jesse Jackson "cut his nuts off" and Gordon Brown "bigoted old woman" stories. Seems like the network isn't respecting the rules of the game here.

12. That was due to chemo
So I won't make fun of her - but the fact that she went through such an ordeal proves that cancer doesn't change shit for some people. She has no humility, and no soul.

Then again, she is a Republican, so who am I kidding to think otherwise?

13. I bet she's pissed
Not that she said anything damning, but the fact that she probably didn't think that would be on the internetS. As much as I hate Repukes, it's kinda unfair. We all say things from time to time that shouldn't be said. Look at Helen Thomas.
