There’s one word to describe Carly Fiorina.
Really. Just one.
“Steely.”
At least that’s the impression left after reading the coverage of her performance at last week’s Republican presidential debate.
“Steely” is how numerous news outlets described the 2016 hopeful; in particular her icy put-down of Donald Trump, when asked her reaction to his impolite comments about her appearance.
(Snip)
So many news outlets used “steely” in writing about Fiorina that one might reasonably ask if there’s a herd mentality in political reporting. But that’s like asking whether candidates say stuff that’s not always true.

Wow, it's almost like all the *news* outlets got the same talking point memo.
Steely? How about more like Creepy.

She got $21 million for screwing a company up.
I offer my services to screw up a company for $10 million.

A “herd mentality”? Give me a break. Just listen to Rush’s “gravitas” montage about Dick Cheney.

Ironic how SIX news outlets ALL used the term *steely* to describe FioRINO’s debate performance....
NY Slimes. HuffPo, Market Watch, National RINO Review, MSPMSBC and the NY Post.
What a coinkydink.
Not.

That’s what this reminds of .... one of Rush’s montages! I can just hear six different voices staying *steely*.
It’s like they had that word on standby, just ready to roll out.

Geeez, The Ministry Of Propaganda is going all out to try to get some momentum going for Steely Fiorina.
The Cheap Labor Express really wants Trump’s numbers to come down before people start thinking we can stop the illegal alien inundation.

She didn’t do jack. The CNN poll measured democrats and republicans not likely to vote in primaries. Ir was a total fraud. She is up to 7% in the actual polls but she is falling like a rock as it comes out about her terrible “leadership” at Lucent and HP. I personally find her pushy and uppity. She ain’t going anywhere but gone.

The very idea that she wants to be called Secretariat IS an INSULT to a very fine horse!

Well the Carly’s Free Arena Show in the media will come to its end rather soon. Don’t expect an encore either.

I have no problem with her being described that way. It makes her sound a lot tougher than Obama.
