Face Off: Carly Fiorina And ‘The View’
[guest post by Dana]
So, no, this isn’t big news in light of the world around us, but why let a moment rife with delicious hypocrisy go to waste? Especially when it’s slapping us right across our “demented” faces. And besides, self-righteous smugness from the eternally clueless is always good for a giggle.
Remember that Donald Trump interview in Rolling Stone last month, when, according to the reporter, Carly Fiorina came on the TV screen, Trump put his oafish foot in his mouth and mocked her appearance?
“Look at that face!” he cries. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”
Trump was roundly taken to task for his disparaging comments. The list of the scolds included the hosts of ABC’s long running gaseous blabfest, The View (at the 2:53 mark):
Thus it came as a hypocritical surprise when, during their scintillatingly sharp post-debate analysis, The View’s hosts did the very thing they took Trump to task for: took potshots at Fiorina’s appearance:
“You know what Carly said which really made me laugh?” Michelle Collins asked. “She kicked off her thing saying, ‘You know, people tell me that I didn’t smile enough during the last debate.’”
Collins imitated Fiorina’s smile. “She looked demented!” she continued. “Her mouth did not downturn one time.”
“I wish it was a Halloween mask,” Joy Behar said. “I’d love that.
In response, Fiorina threw down the gauntlet:
“There is nothing more threatening to the liberal media in general and Hillary Clinton in particular than a conservative woman, so of course there’s a double standard. Conservative women from Sarah Palin to Michele Bachmann to Carly Fiorina are long used to this. It will not stop me,” said the ex-HP CEO, adding, “Maybe if I come back on again, let’s see if they have the guts to say that to my face,” she added.
Well, today Whoopi Goldberg announced that, while she herself would not be on the show this Friday, Fiorina would:
We helped raise your profile, so you would be included in the sea of men. There were no — you weren’t worried about any kind of Republican backlash. Nobody was backlashing. We were respectful and gave you your due. So, just so we’re all clear, you have to know the difference between when somebody is coming for you and when somebody is paying you a compliment and when somebody is saying, here’s my observation. If you can get that together, maybe you can be president.
Heh. There goes that funny woman being funny again.

Priceless!
Dana (86e864) — 11/3/2015 @ 9:21 pmWhoopi says making observations are A-OK.
So …
There is no Whoopi Halloween Costume since the amount of clothing needed would make it too heavy and costly.
If it wasn’t for her name itself being so comical her 15 minutes would have been up 25 years ago.
Whoopi owes her current lively-hood due to the kindness of a white woman (Barb.Walters)
Whoopi wishes she looked as good as Carli, hence the crude remarks.
Hey, these are just observations.
seeRpea (a484b7) — 11/3/2015 @ 9:27 pmseeing as her real name was Karyn Johnson, not too much humor there,
narciso (ee1f88) — 11/3/2015 @ 9:29 pmWell, at least Carly wasn’t in blackface, right?
Whoopi/Caryn has “evolving” views on that topic, as I recall.
Honestly, these media types remind of my wife said about her first husband, an actor:
“Actors are like parakeets: colorful, chattering, but they always end up pooping on your shoulder.”

It’s long overdue that more people start focusing on ideological biases with the intensity of a laser beam instead of pretending they’re somehow unimportant or improper to talk about.
Moreover, larger percentages of people need to declare that for many (or most) liberals, if left-leaning bias were a race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, etc, that ultimately would be the only “race,” “ethnicity,” “gender,” etc, such people would give a goddamn about.
Mark (f713e4) — 11/3/2015 @ 9:48 pmWhoopi was revealed as the ambulatory humaniform container of excrement she is long ago with her “it wasn’t rape rape” comment.
No, Whoopi, it was RAPE, pure and simple. Of a 12yo girl who was begging him to stop.
FUCK Whoopi. With a sharp pointy stick.

So Hareshi Aha Yogi is on The View, and Whoopi is asking him about reincarnation. He explains, “Basically, it teaches that when you die you come back as something completely different from what you were in your previous life”. Whoopi asks, “So I could come back as a pig?” And the Yogi says, “You weren’t listening, were you?”
nk (9faaca) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:02 amThis is off-topic but the Houston vote re discrimination based on sexual orientation was 67-33 to repeal Mayor Parker’s ordinance. Big loss for the SJW faction.
DRJ (15874d) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:34 amYou are hilarious, nk. I tell my husband your jokes everyday.
DRJ (15874d) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:36 amEvery time I look at Whoopi Goldberg, I wonder… Frank Langella? What the EFF were you thinking?
Colonel Haiku (436b69) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:38 amThank you, DRJ.
On the Houston ordinance, I saw it, along with the Kentucky election, as a social barometer. There is only so much people will put up with. Tolerance is nice but overreaching creates reaction.
nk (9faaca) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:54 amI think you are right. The pendulum seems to be swinging right, for now.
DRJ (15874d) — 11/4/2015 @ 6:08 amnot even Jeb can fix a chronic case of carlyface
poor lady

Really? Women and men have equal rights, even if we are not actually equivalent.
It seems the “war on women” only exists in liberal women’s heads.
I wonder what other insights Ms. It’s Not Rape-Rape nor Pedophilia would like to share.
n.n (48c477) — 11/4/2015 @ 8:51 amIn the sea of men, Whoopi is the flotsam.
nk (9faaca) — 11/4/2015 @ 8:56 amnice, nk.
mg (31009b) — 11/4/2015 @ 9:32 amMy better half also enjoys your wit.
If my dog has Whoopi’s face I’d shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards.
CrustyB (69f730) — 11/4/2015 @ 9:45 amHouston is not, and never will be, Berkeley. Nor even Austin.
HERO supporters badly, badly misplayed and overplayed their political hand. The process surely offended a great many voters who weren’t nearly as passionate about the substance.
There was a lot of vague and pernicious language in this ordinance whose sweep went far beyond sex/gender issues, too — a lot of which came across to Houstonians as dangerous micro-management of our morals by the dweebs who run city government. We mostly want them to keep the police paid and the potholes fixed, and otherwise to stay quietly in the background while we make our lives and fortunes.
This will be portrayed by the Left and the MSM as an anti-tolerance/anti-gay/anti-trans vote, with lots of shaming and finger-pointing. I don’t think that’s accurate. I think it’s a “get government out of private-party transactions” vote, an anti-statist vote, a small-L libertarian vote. And that is very much in keeping with Houston’s traditions and inclinations.
Beldar (fa637a) — 11/4/2015 @ 10:48 amThe political forces on the left that were involved with HERO very closely resembled, and considerably overlapped, those who were behind Wendy Davis’ 2014 gubernatorial campaign. And they demonstrated the exact same lack of wisdom and savvy, and got very comparable results.
Beldar (fa637a) — 11/4/2015 @ 10:56 am28… well said, Crusty B!
IMHO, she has never been funny… she has proved through-out her affirmative-action fueled career that women who are truly funny are as rare as hen’s teeth.
Colonel Haiku (436b69) — 11/4/2015 @ 11:14 amI don’t know. Hannity sure propped up Fiorina as the only possible GOP candidate that had a chance in to unseat Boxer.
I knew that was a mistake while it was happening. When Hannity and the Fox cohort paraphrase the exact “qualifications” for a GOP candidate in California as the Sacramento Bee, you know two things. One, the incumbent is in desperate trouble, and two, the GOPe will move heaven and Earth to save them.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 11/4/2015 @ 11:39 amThere was a young lady in Wooster
Colonel Haiku (436b69) — 11/4/2015 @ 11:42 amWho’d reported a rooster’d seduced her
She awoke with a scream
It was only a dream
as a bump on the mattress had goosed her
Gee, kind of funny that Whoopi is not going to be there and all. Hell, Carly ought to refuse to come until Whoopi trundles into the studio and straps her ass into her chair for the fun.
scr_north (04a89b) — 11/4/2015 @ 12:17 pmIn the sea of women, Whoopi is the jetsam.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:27 pmHas Whoopi looked at her own face lately?
Gary Fouse (ff4007) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:29 pmFiorina came within 10 points of Boxer in a state that had elected Obama by 20, and without much support from the eGOP. “Best chance” in California does not mean a good chance.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:36 pmand she had a cancer relapse at the time, and it didn’t cost 150 million dollars,
narciso (ee1f88) — 11/4/2015 @ 5:40 pmCracking a mirror distorts the View back.

happyfeet (831175) — 11/5/2015 @ 4:27 pmIf she is, she’s fighting it. Three husbands to date, not including her fling with Ted Danson.
nk (dbc370) — 11/5/2015 @ 4:33 pmHighly public fling.
nk (dbc370) — 11/5/2015 @ 4:34 pmI know about it because Saturday Night Live made up comedy routines around it.
nk (dbc370) — 11/5/2015 @ 4:35 pmgood for her I applaud her on again off again relationship with the penis
