Fiorina Open Mic Gaffe On Boxer's Hairstyle: 'So Yesterday!

[RamboLiberal]

Whoops! New Senate nominee Carly Fiorina (R-CA) was caught in an unfortunate open mic incident today, mocking her rival Sen. Barbara Boxer's hair, complaining about Fox's Sean Hannity and even talking about cheeseburgers she wished she'd eaten the night before.

Fiorina, who won a 3-way primary last night, was preparing for an interview with CNN affiliate KXTV this morning and chatting with her aides. In a several-minute chat with the camera rolling that CNN posted online, Fiorina mocks Boxer's hairdo. Laughing, Fiorina tells her staff that someone had seen Boxer on television and "said what everyone says, 'God what is that hair?' So yesterday!" But she also questioned a decision by fellow Republican Meg Whitman to appear on Hannity so soon after winning the GOP nomination for governor.

"I find it really surprising that on the first day of the general Meg Whitman is going on Sean Hannity," Fiorina said, while reading her BlackBerry. "I think it's bizarre ... I think it's a very bad choice actually. You know how he is."

Fiorina alluded to Whitman avoiding the press during the primary, saying, "Why after saying no to all these people would you go on Sean Hannity?" Later she added, "Sean Hannity is not an easy interview."

1. Sean is not an"easy" interview? She is kidding right? Talk about delusional.

[Johonny]

9. I know he some times interviews such political heavy weights as

Victoria Jackson. Man I'd hate to be in Meg's shoes today.

2. Self-edit. Didn't know she'd had chemo when I said I didn't like her haircut.

Still, I find her comment below petty. But, if you got nothin' else... :shrug:

[saracat]

3. I think she had chemo so i wouldn't go there, but it is very odd all things considered

that she would mock Boxers hair. Hmm. Maybe cause she knows no one can hit back without looking bad? She sure knows what the important issues are!

7. You're correct - she had chemo

Battled breast cancer last year. http://articles.sfgate.com/2009-03-03/news/17215547_1_breast-cancer-hewlett-packard-ceo-carly-fiorina-sen-barbara-boxer

12. Oh she did? I didn't know that.

[gateley]

5. Agree - Hers was hip, what -- 15 years ago? But like many women, she finds

a style that she likes and keeps it 'til the day she dies.

And she looks like she got her wardrobe from the Dynasty costume department.

I'm done being petty, but it feels good to have said it.

10. I don't care about the hair but the dress looks like she borrowed it from

barbara bush. What is it with repubs dressing like the 50's?

11. Carly, HP and press spying

Well with Carly and the media touting her business credentials, i hope the boxer team brings out Carly's tenure at HP - outsorucing jobs leading a large layoff of employees, running the business to the ground and let's not forget under her tenure HP hired people to wiretap journalists

4. Look who's talking.

Everytime I've ever seen Sen. Boxer, she looks pretty good.

[gateley]

6. Last time I saw her, she looked REALLY good! nt

[Synnical]

8. I still don't understand how the person who destroyed HP

thinks she can run for public office and on a Tea Party Ticket, is it?

I admit to not paying much attention.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Ummmm, Carly....

You're running for United States Senate, not Freshman Class President of your local high school. Grow the fuck up, will ya?

14. AS to hair do's if she wants to mock someone why not Palin

she has the most fuzzy hairdos I have ever seen. BUT if a woman wants to wear her hair in any way she likes, THATS HER BUSINESS. Including Palin. So look at Florina's she is not so hot.
