Thanks Carly

You can say what you want about Barbara Boxer, but I've always thought everyone could at least agree that she had pretty great hair. What's Fiorina talking about?
I heard someone comment that these throw aways on hot mics are sort of unfair and shouldn't be disseminated. I think they're fair game and that professionals who work on camera should be aware of this and should learn to hold their tongues. Certainly, any woman who is running for high public office should restrain her bitchy inner mean girl --- at all times. It not only makes her look petty it reflects badly on all women, turning the race into more of a punchline than it already was, especially in one between two women. There just aren't enough females in leadership for the ones who make it to the top to be unaware of these stereotypes and play into them.
This signals that this race is going to be pretty awful. Just what we need.
*Before anyone makes a rude comment about Carly's hair in the comments, be advised that she just went through chemo therapy for breast cancer, so her hair is growing back in. So let's not go there.
