Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina stated that her prior remarks about Senator Sen. Barbara Boxer's (D-CA)hair weren’t “a generous thing that I said. And so I swore, from that moment on, that I would never make another remark about anyone’s hair” on Friday’s “Sean Hannity Show.” Fiorina said that she “literally laughed out loud” at fellow GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s remarks about her face, and that she doesn’t really care what Trump thinks about her looks. Fiorina then addressed her comments about Boxer, which she stated, “wasn’t a generous thing that I said. And so I swore, from that moment on, that I would never make another remark about anyone’s hair, no matter how tempting.” Fiorina added that since she didn’t have any hair at the time due to chemotherapy treatments, she was “insufficiently sensitive to hair.”

[”GOP primaries should be less vicious.”]
Maybe they should be more vicious.
We have a whole class of wimpy, low-testosterone, spineless, dishonest, screw up Republican leaders.
Maybe primaries involving more verbal cruelty and even actual bloodshed would weed out the weak.
Her Planned Parenthood response proves someone wrote her answers and she was coached. She never saw any of those videos.
Carly doesn’t take the bait but still provides snark...

WALLACE: Here was Hillary Clinton this week. Take a look.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I’m aware, I may not be the youngest candidate in this race, but I have one big advantage. I’ve been coloring my hair for years.
(LAUGHTER & CHEERS)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WALLACE: Ms. Fiorina, what do you think of Hillary Clinton?
FIORINA: Well, first of all, setting the accent aside, I think that was kind of a cute line. I color my hair, too. I’m happy to have hair, since I didn’t for a period after battling cancer.

Carly Fiorina’s conversion from Hillary Clinton fan to fervent critic
By Ruth Marcus
EXCERPT
In 2010, the then-GOP Senate nominee went all middle-school-cafeteria on her Democratic opponent’s hairdo. “God, what is that hair? Sooo yesterday,” Fiorina, already miked up, commented, quoting an aide’s assessment. Two years earlier, in the makeup room at ABC’s “This Week” with me, Fiorina said something that, at the time, was mildly interesting, but is now revelatory. It was May 2008, close to the end of the long primary battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and we were discussing the two Democratic contenders.
At which point Fiorina, then a campaign surrogate for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, offered some unprompted praise for Clinton: If Fiorina hadn’t been backing McCain, she told me, she would have been for Clinton.
“That’s off the record,” Fiorina immediately added.
What makes you say that? Nothing could be further from the truth.

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina is leaning heavily on financial support from deep-pocketed donors in Silicon Valley and across California in her long-shot presidential bid.
Famed venture capitalist Tom Perkins and former Intel CEO Paul Otellini are among the wealthy donors that cut checks for Carly for America, the super PAC supporting Fiorina’s candidacy. The mid-year filing deadline for super PACs is Friday and the list of Carly for America donors was first shared with CNN.
Perkins, a former HP board member long described as having pushed for Fiorina’s ouster from the tech company in 2005, gave $25,000 to the super PAC. Otellini cut a $5,000 check.
The largest donation to the Fiorina super PAC — close to $1.6 million — came from Jerry Perenchio, the former CEO of Univision and national finance co-chairman for John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign with deep ties to California.

Reading thru with former opposition giving and knowing that a manipulator will do anything to obtain desired outcome my first reaction was both had dirt on the other. Had they some type of relationship that produced that dirt?
Something illegal or sordid? Remember the cooked books of Lucent? My gut says : Nothing is beneath this woman
Cooking books at Lucent
She is a manipulator and will use whatever it takes to reach her self serving goal.
Trump is every POTUS “would be” politicians target. They will say and do anything and everything to dethrone the leader of the pack. So far, Trump is winning but I anticipate he will slip somewhat in the numerous polls being generated following the last debate.
There is still along way to go and many of those running will make gaffs, comments and misspeaks, Fiorina included.
“That’s off the record,” Fiorina immediately added.
Ha ha ha....kind of like Trump's "Look at that face!", to the Rolling Bones reporter was *off the record*?
NOTHING is off the record, Snarly Carly :-/
I see I hit a nerve. Good.
Please note my criticism stems not so much from my support for any particular candidate, but from my respect for good comedy. But if that’s your definition of winning - using bad jokes not even Catskills standups would use - then good for you, I guess. I’m sure your mom thinks you’re hilarious.
Take my wife. Please!
Boxer wiped the floor with Carly in the Senate race. Wiped the floor with her. Carly can’t run companies, can win campaigns... but she’s got the GOPe Loser Squad on her side.
He seems to do negative Democrat style research on opponents and then goes for the throat.
The ridiculing of other outstanding candidates is getting sickening. Trump better change and change fast or he won't make it.
Too bad for us, as he has the right positives.
Isn’t she making a comment about Trumps hair by even broaching the subject of hair? Sorry Carly, you’re just another political wannabe that believes you’re smarter than all of us out here in flyover Country. You’re shrewd and you’re conniving but I’ll stop there.
AMEN!!
(((Hugs))) right back at you! Thank you!
