"I think I am distinctly horrifying to liberals that I am a conservative woman who right now, head-to-head, beats Hillary Clinton soundly."

"I started as a secretary. Being underestimated is sort of the story of my life."

-Carly Fiorina

Quote du jour

We must understand our role in the world – which is to lead – and the nature of our allies and especially, our adversaries. Like Hillary Clinton, I too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe. But unlike her, I have actually accomplished something. Mrs. Clinton, flying is an activity not an accomplishment. I have met Vladimir Putin and know that it will take more to halt his ambitions than a gimmicky red “Reset” button.

Barbie (Boxer) - Math is Hard!

Remember the flack that Barbie™ received when she pronounced that "Math is hard!"?
Our own Barbie Bouncer experiences the same difficulties! (Maybe that's why she bounced so many checks at the House Bank?)

Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard:

Barbara Boxer under pressure is like a reckless driver in traffic. She’s out of control and extremely careless. “You know, like, I don’t want to go back to the days when thousands of people died every day because they had no insurance,” she declared in a debate in late September. Boxer, as best one could tell, was referring to the era before President Obama’s health care plan was enacted.

If true, at least 730,000 people were dying annually in America for lack of health insurance. (To do the math, it’s a minimum of 2,000 deaths every 24 hours multiplied by 365 days.) That’s a staggering number of people who presumably couldn’t get life-saving medical care because they were without an insurance policy to foot the bill.

Wow! While it is true that a liberal makes up a statistic every 8.4 seconds*, that is pretty outrageous even for a lib. Good thing no one in the MSM ever checks her math!



*Closed captioning for the Irony Impaired: That's a joke.

Carly Fiorina's New Ad

You know the words "Barbara Boxer" and "qualified for the US Senate" should never be used in a sentence that does not contain the word "not".

Still, the latest ad from Carly Fiorina, to me, smacks a little bit of class envy. See what you think?
