HuffPo -Carly Fiorina Criticizes Tina Fey As "Disrespectful...Sexist"

[lakercub]

McCain spokeswoman Carly Fiorina has weighed in on the major issue of today, namely, 30 Rock creator Tina Fey's portrayal of vice presidential contender Sarah Palin from this weekend's Saturday Night Live. Fiorina, astonishingly, termed it "disrespectful." Because that's what SNL does - paint flattering pictures of political figures. You'd think she'd be immune to such concerns, or at least not humorless about it -- after all, the very candidate she supports went on SNL last season and wittily lampooned his own age. But in Fiorina's opinion, Fey was "sexist" and failed to delve into Palin's substance.

Wow...just, wow.

I have an office mate who worked for HP and then Agilent. He is a McCain guy, but he considered voting the other way just because of Carly. I am currently working on that.

1. i can smell carly thru my teevee and it ain't pretty

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

2. It is sexist to portray smart women as smart and frickin' morons as dumb. Got it!

I love that... it is now sexist to portray Hillary as more substantial than Palin.

[Blue State Bandit]

3. "She has a lot of substance."

Translation: She's full of shit!

How's a woman highlighing another woman's lack of substance sexist?

Sexy maybe?

[Catch22Dem]

4. I'm sorry the point of that sketch went over Carly's head, but Tina DID delve into Palin's substance

Get it??? Think REALLY REALLY hard, Carly? Now do you get it???

[vanderBeth]

5. I think you have bigger fish to fry then going after SNL.

"failed to delve into Palin's substance?" I'm sorry, I didn't know that SNL was a news show filled with hard-htting journalists. :eyes:

Does Carly Fiorina realize how stupid she sounds?

[maseman]

6. Boy oh boy SNL got under that their McSame camp skin eh?

Hit a little close to home for the Geriatric GOP Camp? Lorne Michaels must be loving all the free publicity right now. Doesn't Carly understand that if she doesn't talk about people would quickly forget it?

[Coexist]

7. oh, fuck fiorina

[grasswire]

8. what did that woman have to say about the depiction of Hillary?

Just wondering if that made her laugh over the years, when Hillary was being caricatured.

[gaiilonfong]

9. Carly is a CRIMINAL PUTANG

She destroyed HP and tomorrow HP will lay off thousands...WHY isn't the media asking CArly the HACK what happened, if she is such an expert.

[Windy]

10. Well, Amy Poehler needs to start doing Fiorina too! that would be a riot! n/t

[rcsl1998]

11. Hey Carly! I Think It Was Disrespectful When You Said That No American Had A 'God Given Right'...

...to a job when you were outsourcing jobs as CEO of Hewlett Packard (before they dumped you - albeit with a golden parachute - for doing such a lousy job) - Even today, another 24,600 laid off at HP - Heckova job, Carly!

[Beaverhausen]

12. And we care what this woman thinks because...?

[AllentownJake]

13. The McCain campaign has become an episode of South Park

Seriously...

[jeff30997]

14. Sexist ?

In what respect,Carly?

[TxBlue]

15. Carly - How did she get a Get of Jail free card?

I thought she was convicted for spying on her Board of Directors. Was she just indicted?

[diane in sf]

16. what substance?

[applegrove]

17. See Fiorina can say something and make waves. Cause she has

real bonafides. Palin has none and can only parrot prepared speeches. John McCain is using Fiorina as Palin's substitute on Women's issues. What exactly does Palin do? Oh yeah she hunts and doens't believe in abortion. None things that require executive knowledge. But it does connect with the base. So this is how it will be. Palin will say the same speech over and over again...if there is any debating to be done it will be done not by the VP candidate but by a surrogate (Fiorina). Women must be so proud....

[Trajan]

18. Trajan critcizes Carly Fiorina as .....

'Up YOURS Carly' ....

[Danger Mouse]

19. Thanks for the free publicity, dumbass!

:rofl:

[Fran Kubelik]

20. I think she meant sexy.

[Zech Marquis The 2nd]

21. she's a fucking joke

all the Obama campaign has to say is,"this is the same woman who wrote a damn book about how good outsourcing was" :nuke: I haven't seen to many CEOS who have been universally HATED like her!

[barack the house]

22. Substance they've gotta be kidding that is SNL sketch in itself they should go after that.

[barack the house]

23. So they've attacked the view, SNL,and Oprah why not shut TV down for Palins warm fuzzy feelings.
