SASSY Carly Fiorina Has A Unique Way Of Dealing With Chuck Todd

SASSY Carly Fiorina Has a Unique Way of Dealing with Chuck Todd.

The link takes you to the DC home page where the piece is proceeded by the super title "SASSY" while the article itself doesn't include that reference.

I just find it interesting choice of words. Sassy? Has Ted Cruz been Sassy? I bet bitchy and hysterical will be used too at some point.

I know it was meant lovingly but others might not see that way.

She might not have had technosmarts, but she does have quantum leveks more than any MSM dork.

She’s a woman.
One descriptor of female behavior is “Sassy”.
Would you prefer something else?

If it were Hillary, we would be told that using the word “Sassy” to describe her is sexist.

Clearly.
You like old women with money and think Carly is hotter than Hillary.

I’m sure a lot of old ladies appreciate that.

You sure she didn’t have technosmarts?

Seems to have got to the peak of the tech world, and hung on for a number of years, on her way to making a good chunk of change.

Yeah, “sassy” is something of the female version of “uppity”.

Both suggest boldly speaking beyond one’s assumed station in the world, and so they are linked to assumptions of coming from an inferior position.

It's also an acceptable synonym for "sexy" when used in media aimed at young girls. Or at least it was, a few years ago.

She destroyed HP, and she got the job because she has internal genitalia.

HP was a staggering colossus. IBM was bigger and better, but they too are on the downside of their corporate life.

It’s inevitable. It used to be IBM and “the BUNCH”—including Burroughs, Univac, NCR, CDC and Honeywell—were the big players.

Then HP rose with a bunch of minicomputer vendors. Remember DEC? DG? Wang? Prime?

PCs were squeezed on margins, but they were a play that shared distribution with HP printers and reinforced a position in the enterprise.

So what happened? Chuck Todd called her “sassy” and now she’s proudly proclaiming she’s sassy?

Actually, she didn’t. I just read in the WSJ a few days ago that the changes she made at HP started to pay off after she left. The paper gave her the credit for the company upswing.
