Carly’s the name, but just call me ‘Steely’ Fiorina
McClatchyDC ^ | SEPTEMBER 22, 2015 | Mark J. Terrill

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.

She has to tilt her head because her eyelids don’t move.

steely? Ever see a face completely botoxed? No mother could have spoken passionately about the slaughter of an unborn child without any facial expression.

{Personally, I think she’s hot.}

You must be looking for a wealthy dominatrix type who lacks the ability to make a normal facial expression due to filler and Botox overdose.

Granted, for your S&M fetish the stern, frozen expression is nicely intimidating.

And that harsh speaking manner. You will melt.

"I thought she said STEALy." My sentiments exactly! She stole billions of dollars from HP shareholders by her ineptness as CEO...a total disaster! Not presidential then or now!

Well, Slow Joe Biden once said Obongo had a “spine of steel”. It’s a liberal thing, apparently.

“Wow, it’s almost like all the *news* outlets got the same talking point memo.”

Is Ezra Klein still running Journ-o-list? It sure seems like it.

Gotta wonder if both carly and the youngsters at the news outlets who use the word “steely” know about the band Steely Dan, which was named after a dildo.

Rush played them all saying it years ago and for different “words of the day” It could not be more contrived!

The liberals love her because they have the script already written for how to take her out in the general, as writ by Barbara Boxer. Throw in a little Romney OWS attack to amp it up and Fiorina will be underpolling Clinton from the beginning and never recover.

The RINOs love her because she’s Romney in a dress.
