Carly Fiorina: Making Fun Of Opponent’s Hair ‘Sort Of Goes With The Territory’

video
» 10 comments

California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina had some explaining to do yesterday after an off-air open mic caught her questioning fellow Republican Meg Whitman‘s decision to go on Hannity and making fun of opponent Sen. Barbara Boxer‘s hair. Tonight she went straight to Greta van Susteren to explain herself: yes, she thinks Sean Hannity is a tough interviewer, and as for the hair issue? “It sort of goes with the territory.”

Her comment that Sean Hannity is “not an easy interview” saved a series of comments along the lines of “you know what he’s like” that could’ve been interpreted pretty negatively, but talking to van Susteren on On the Record last night, she didn’t really change her original statement. In fact, she added she is excited to sit down with Hannity at the end of the week, and fully expects him to give her as hard a time as she suspected he would give Whitman. “He is a tough interview– and that’s his job!”

As for the far meaner comments that her Senate opponent’s hair was “so yesterday,” she was quick to make light of her own, too: “My hair has been talked about by a million people, it sort of goes with the territory… I started out without any hair.”

Van Susteren gave her the rest of the time to talk about her actual campaign, and she reiterated that she was “exceptionally proud of my time as CEO of HP” despite attacks on her tenure, which she attributed to a resistance to change within the company.

    This is fairly immature.

    Frivolity does not discriminate based on gender nor political party.

    I have to admit, I was disappointed. I expected Carly and Greta were going to give each other facials, wash their hair and make fudge. I switched over to some British film with bare bums and nasty language.

    Yes, California just loves bible thumping, no nothing, company killing, morons. She actually called Hannity a great journalist in her ass kissing apology. Um, Hannity is not a journalists and neither is anyone else on fox. She’s going to get her bony ass kicked by Boxer. Just watch!

    You people are high . Boxer’s been towing the liberal agenda of tax & spend for years. She would have never been re-elected so many times anywhere, but the bay area . California desperatly needs fiscal conservative policies. This state is broke , unemployment sky high, and this hallucination of this green energy = massive job growth is a farce .

    Vote Boxer out !

    “hallucination of this green energy = massive job growth is a farce . ”

    i agree,.,especially when your trying to compete with too big too fail monopolies holding strategic assets and a govt that bends over for them at every chance. The leviathan oil industry and our thieving ass elected officials will never be replaced!

    What happened to the anti incubembent mentality, on both sides! 81 vs 1,,,.
    We voted one, only one of those cocksuckers out.

    fuckin pathetic we are
    in the words of george carlin:

    “selfish ignorant citizens get selfish ignorant leaders.”
