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

'just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance...'

'Lacking substance' implies that there is at least SOME substance to Palin.

Of course, we all know that's not true. (laughs)

I am starting to think his party does not want him with his finger on the button either. He is running an ad that is like the greatest hits of his and her lies. Next he goes in front of an audience and claims the economy is strong just before the bad news this morning while she is in Ohio to give the same speech she gave in every other state she has been in. Now a woman does a skit on Palin and it is sexist? Oh I see its good old Carly again who with her actions at HP set back women for years. Since their bounce is gone they have to talk. The more they do the farther they will fall down the tubes.

Well, I shouldn't have watched the RNC, but I did, and I didn't see any mention of any policy other than lipstick, moose, and change from the horrible policies of the slimmest of Dem majorities.

And if you want to talk about mindlessly dismissive, how about one night talking about service... and the next night dismissing Obama's community organizing. I was an Americorps member for two years, but no one ever told me service only matters if you're in the military... I'm glad the GOP thinks I wasted my time.

If no one has said it before, HRS, thank you for your service. I appreciate it.

All I have to say about the Republican view on service is George W. Bush:

In May 1968, Bush was accepted into the Texas Air National Guard, after scoring the lowest acceptable passing grade on the pilot's written aptitude test. After training, he was assigned to duty in Houston, flying Convair F-102s out of Ellington Air Force Base. Critics allege Bush was favorably treated because of his father's political standing, citing his lack of combat service and his irregular attendance. The United States Department of Defense released all the records of Bush's Texas Air National Guard service, which remain in its official archives. Although not accepted to the University of Texas School of Law in 1970, he accepted a transfer to the Alabama Air National Guard in 1972 to work on a Republican senate campaign, and in October 1973 he was discharged from the Texas Air National Guard. Bush then attended Harvard University, where he earned his MBA, and completed his six-year service obligation in the inactive reserve.

During this time Bush had multiple accounts of alcohol abuse. In one instance, Bush was arrested near his family's summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine for driving under the influence of alcohol at the age of thirty on September 4, 1976. He pleaded guilty, was fined US$150, and had his Maine driver's license suspended until 1978. Soon after, Bush entered the oil industry in Texas.

Yeah, that's what boggles my mind. Carly Fiorina is an accomplished woman (arguably more qualified for the Vice Presidency than Palin), yet she is clearly a buffoon.

I don't understand why it is always "Well the Repubs did this!" or "The Dems said that!" It's like two opposing football teams fighting for the Superbowl. The American people aren't even in the equation anymore. We're just the fans in the bleachers sticking by their team for no apparent reason. If I were in charge there would be no political parties.

Both of you need a sense of humor. Like I always say; you can put lipstick on a pig or a pit bull. & it's funny every single time.

Joseph....

I'm with you!!! It should be illegal to be a member of ANY political party.

Question.......What 2 things keep the world divided?
Answer.........Politics and Religion

Unfortunately...that will never change. People love to hate each other!

You forgot football.

I just came off a thread about the Broncos/Chargers game, so I couldn't agree more.

Or religion?

With advisors like her I shudder to think what kind of information he would receive if he ever got to the Whitehouse. He must keep his advisors in cages!

Miss Dev...

You (and Oscar) are so correct. From our earliest childhood, we understand that life is only temporary. How can you possibly take anything that is temporary...seriously. Life is meant to laugh at...and with!!

I totally agree with you on this one, Miss Dev.

As a matter of fact, even Palin thought that the skit was funny...

Palin on Fey: 'Quite Funny'

By Monica Davey

Well into the night on Saturday, somewhere in the dark skies between Reno and Denver, "Saturday Night Live" could be viewed on the mini-TV screens in the seatbacks aboard Gov. Sarah Palin's campaign plane.

Many reporters who fill the rear of the plane watched Tina Fey's portrayal of Ms. Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate, but were left to muse about what Ms. Palin herself had thought of it — or whether she had watched it at all.

In the days since Ms. Palin's campaign set off for Alaska and now for her first solo campaign swing, she has spent her plane time (including a nearly 10-hour flight from Virginia to Fairbanks) ensconced at the front of the plane with family members and top aides, tucked away behind a curtain that separates everyone -– reporters, included — in the back.

At one point, her youngest daughter, Piper, ventured to the back with a campaign adviser, but Ms. Palin stayed put, leaving one television crew from "Entertainment Tonight" capturing an image of the plane's curtain, then whispering and motioning to its viewers that the candidate was apparently just a few rows up, just past that curtain, up that way.

On Sunday, a campaign adviser confirmed that Ms. Palin had, indeed, watched the "Saturday Night Live" skit from her screen at the front of the plane. "She thought it was quite funny," the adviser said in an email response to inquiries, "especially because the governor has dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween."

Miss Dev,

I think you meant:

GOP = Grumpy Old Pharts

Ms. Palin stayed put, leaving one television crew from "Entertainment Tonight" capturing an image of the plane's curtain,

WTF is a entertainment tonight crew doing there???? Perspiring minds want to know!!!

This is standard operating procedure. You portray the Big Cheese (Palin) as taking the high road and being humble and magnanimous, while at the same time sending your underlings (Fiorina) out to slam and undermine the offender.

Don't be tricked into thinking that Palin really thought this was funny or that Fiorina actually thought this was sexist and dismissive. Palin was probably pissed off and Fiorina probably thought it was spot on, but there's no time for the truth - they each have their part to play.

That's a rhetorical question, right?

Are the Republicans this ignorant on purpose, or are they all just vastly uneducated?

Perhaps far too much of both.

Mars, I usually agree with what you have to say but in this particular post I'm unclear on what you are trying to say.

Let me rephrase.

Are the Republicans ignorant on purpose, or were they all failed by the educational system?

You really wanted us to answer that question?! lol

Louie, yes I do. I can't figure it out. I'd like to say that the GOP is full of @!$%#, but the more I hear, I'm starting to think they are just ignorant.

Well the way I see it (and excuse my language), politics isn't about whose $#!% smells worse---It's about whose tastes better. If we are willing to eat it because it tastes as good as they tell us it is, then we deserves what we get.

Well, we know from experience that the GOP's @!$%# tastes twice as bad as it smells

How come the did not mention the Hillary skit?

Excellent post

There used to be a thing called the Peter Principal which said that people get promoted to their level of incompetence.

It's looking like the reps have found a new way to get there faster

Right, spot on tay. She does not deserve to be there. It would be easier to swallow if she was at least qualifed.

Now you know that they won't want people to know the truth.

Used to be the CEO at HP. She fought for the merger with Compaq which HP wished they had never done. Got fired with a golden parachute just to get the bonehead out of there. HP just announced they are laying off 24000 people.

Thanks for the info. Seems like she has the type of resume necessary to be a mouthpiece for McCain and co.'s blather.

Yeah ... That's the ticket.

I vote for Jon Lovitz.

Excellent choice. His pathological liar character is perfect for the McCain campaign.

Wouldn't Lovitz be better as McCain? Whiten his hair, puff up his face?

Agreed that would be pretty funny!

Selected idiocy

The latter I think

Lighten up you people.... It is SNL... give me a break anyone who takes this personal has a weak ego.... If you can't laugh at yourself what can I tell you... usually that means you are a miserable control freak....

There is generally very little to say in those articles.

I'd reckon you'd be talking about someone like me, yes? Note, I am here. : )

I saw them on other seeds and on a seed where they were discussing the Charlie interview of Sarah and how badly Charlie and ABC made her look bad with 'creative editing'. They REALLY feel she was treated badly and they LOVE her so much. And those mean reporters are just sexist towards her.

So I imagine they are still licking their wounds and trying to figure out another angle to defend her.

dcstone01: Because most of them can't handle an intelligent civil discussion. They start their own seeds like the Charlie interview of Sarah one so they can delete anyone who doesn't agree with them. I posted a comment there and the "community" collasped it! I asked them why they were all calling Gibson names now, when before the interview last week, they were all on NV praising Gibson to the hilt and was it because they thought he would be soft on Sarah because he had been tough on Obama?

Yeah, Ann, I saw stuff like what you're saying.

Poor, poor GOP.

We will see in Nov. who the people prefer. If we can make it that long.

Because most of them can't handle an intelligent civil discussion.

And that is what this article is? Here are the highlights so far:

Does the McCain staff even live on the same planet the rest of us do?

the gop has been redefining words so much they dont remember what none of them mean anymore

'Lacking substance' implies that there is at least SOME substance to Palin. Of course, we all know that's not true. (laughs)

Republicans are weak.

Are the Republicans this ignorant on purpose, or are they all just vastly uneducated?

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.....

You are so correct...instead of focusing on the critical issues of this country...war, the economy, health care...there are people who will vote (either Republican or Democrat) based on the personality of the candidates...as if this is all some kind of reality television program. And it's clear that the media drives a lot of this focus on personality instead of doing the hard work of reporting on the issues. I couldn't give a hoot in hell if Palin was a contestant in a beauty contest...I want to know what Congress did to deregulate the financial sector that let this country get in the economic mess it finds itself in today...and just what are the plans of the candidates to get us out of this turmoil
