Mika Brzezinski says the things we're all thinking to Cruella de Fiorina. All of them. To her face.

VIDEO of the exchange is at the URL below.



Potential 2016 GOP candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina has been unrelenting in her attacks on Hillary Clinton, leading a Morning Joe duo of Mika Brzezinski and Steve Rattner to ask her Monday morning whether he own record would withstand such scrutiny.

“You have an amazing round of accomplishments in your life,” Brzezinski said, “but someone could say it like this you ran for Senate and lost. You worked for John McCain, you were moved off that campaign, and he lost. You had a tenure at Hewlett-Packard that a lot of people describe as extremely rocky, destroying jobs, and destroying the company’s reputation. Are you really the right person to be criticizing Hillary Clinton’s accomplishments or lack thereof?”

Fiorina accused Brzezinski of “reading Democratic talking points,” though Brzezinski responded that she was actually reading Fortune and New York Times. Rattner went so far as to remind Fiorina that she’d been fired from Hewlett-Packard after the company’s stock tanked following a merger.

Like a pro, Fiorina turned their criticisms into a soliloquy on le government grand, though she did concede that Clinton had “opened doors for women.”

But one can always hope that she and her long record of 'accomplishments' end up on the top of the Republican ticket.

That would be Mitt Romney's image problem squared with McCain's organisational discipline.

During the VP debate, when she sheds her fake human skin and proceeds to spit acid at her opponent AND the lives audience... like Giger's Alien.

who played an expert game of bull shitting their way to the top. But when they actually had to do the job, they failed miserably and Fiorini is a perfect example of that.

She's there to get interviewed and throw bombs at Hillary because she has a vagina. She can literally say shit that the men running for President could never say.
