So Mr Fiorina, allow me to explain. In satire you would take existing traits of a person and exagerate them to the point where an average person would see them to be used as humor. Since Palin is widely deemed to be somewhat thin as far as brains are concerned, she was made to appear to be even more of an airhead than she does normally. Just as Clinton is made to appear as a shrill, bitter, defeated candidate that refuses to go along and help her party without making it appear she is being forced to do so. Both ladies are not the parodies that were on the television. However, Ms Clinton has appeared on Saturday Night Live. This at least shows that she understands that public preception can be turned from a negative to a positive if handled correctly.
Something that neither you nor the candidates you represent seem to get.

Criticizing on a person with no substance is not a sexism. Saying women can not take these jokes is already a sexism to look down on our ability. Carly should know that. Even Palin said it was fun to watch.

Sexism is about saying a mother with 5 kids can not run for a VP, that is sexism, as it relates to the stereotypical role of women. SNL was not, it was just a joke on the personalities and experiences.

Obama/Clinton/Biden '08

And the irony of this remark coming in response to a skit lampooning the idiocy of the "criticism = sexism" concept is just too rich.

OK...he defined what the topic will be for this election (everybody campaigns on change though Barack) and when McCain/Palin
campaign for what they want to 'change'....Obama starts
whining about them stealing his topic....

Does he really think American's are that dumb?

If change is what we need...then what type of change...
it's a logical response...why the whining?

I don't think Fiorina know what the word "sexist" means.

Tina's portrayal was dead on. If you sense her conveying Ms. Palin lacks substance, it probably reflects the reality the rest of us have uncovered. Palin is an interesting diversion. A woman of substance? I don't think so.

This article has you connecting Obama with what SNL comedians did. If so, then you're as big a part of the McCain disinformation campaign as Mr. Rove and team.

It's a way of puncturing the overblown bubble of blind, fanatical worship of Palin that Republicans are currently engaging in.

And what substance would that be? Come on Carly. You have substance. Many women have substance. Sarah Palin does not have substance. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. McCain would have been smarter to pick you. Especially given the 500 point drop in the stock market today. Not a good day for McCain to be saying the fundamentals of the economy are strong. So Carly, do us all a favor and stop wasting time playing the "Palin is a victim" farce and go teach McCain a little economics. Or push him aside and run for President yourself, you would be a much better choice than either John or Sarah...by far.

You'd think a businesswoman would be worrying more about banks failing then what a satirical comedy show says about her candidate. Then again it shows where her priorities lie.

And the whole "executive experience" thing is crap. Are they trying to say Palin has more experience than John McCain? She has more "executive experience" than John McCain by that stupid definition!

This is HUMOR folks. They are not campaign surrogates.

Get a life Carli. Palin would say you're whining.

I'm a woman and this sexism card is really getting annoying. At this point, I hope they continue to pull it because I believe the majority of Americans will become just as annoyed and it will backfire in the end.

Obama/Biden 08

I can't take how the republicans just make stuff up when they want to spin something their way!!

Precisely HOW can a skit that compares TWO WOMEN be viewed as "sexist"? I thought the SNL writers and the performers did an EXEMPLARY job of avoiding playing of female stereotypes and issues.

There was NOTHING in what was said by either of the characters–or implied in the dialogue or acting–which was derogatory of Palin on the basis of her sex.

Yes, Palin was portrayed as puddle-deep in her understanding of issues and in her experience compared to Hillary Clinton, but that was NOT SEXISM!!

Carly, Carly, Carly. I think you need to go out and buy yourself a sense of humor.

By the way: have you any "issues" that you would like to discuss while you are in front of the microphone... you know things like McCain's plan for the economy, healthcare, foreign policy. No!! Then go home.

Incoming McCain press release at VP debate:

"We are appalled and outraged that the moderator felt it was appropriate to ask Sarah Palin questions during this debate. This shows a new low in society that she would be asked such outrageous questions without any respect to her achievements in the past and without deference to her years of executive experience."

I think their B.S. is even starting to stink out fellow republicans.

As far as substance, does that mean Palin should be more unforgiving in the republican ransacking of America, kind of like Fiorina's approach to HP, how's she Fiorina a credible source on anything.

Carly Fiorina was forced out of HP because, contrary to the historic culture of HP, she authorized spying on employees who opposed her – presumably even using wiretaps! Further, she built such a healthy infrastructure with HP that....hmmm....today they just announced they were having to slash 24,000 jobs by 2011.

Finally, she carelessly uses the term "sexist" when, in fact, she was simply offended that her candidate was not portrayed in the best light – thus shamelessly playing the gender card.

Carly Fiorina has been shown that she is a leader without integrity or skill at managing a business. Further, she is willing to claim discrimination simply because she doesn't get her own way.

Talk about a lack of substance!

Just like the school bully, can dish it but can't take it.

Typical Republicans
