Memo to Katie: Don’t ever try to intimidate Carly Fiorina, because it will not end well…for you.

Via NewsBusters: Carly Fiorina Nails Katie Couric on Double Standards, Hillary Defense

…Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina went toe-to-toe with liberal journalist Katie Couric…sparring for 45 minutes on abortion, Hillary Clinton and qualifications for President. Yahoo correspondent Couric complained about Fiorina’s criticism of Clinton: “You’ve had some unkind words for Hillary Clinton. You said that she was not trustworthy and she hasn’t accomplished very much. I think people might think, ‘Well, she was the senator from New York and she was the Secretary of State.'” Couric chided, “How can you really make those claims?” This came after Couric had her own “unkind words” for Fiorina, reminding, “During your tenure at HP, the stock fell by more than 50 percent, which is a bigger drop than companies like IBM and Dell. And you were fired after five and a half years as CEO.”

Fiorina put the two questions together and zinged:

FIORINA: Well, you see, Katie, in the world I come from, a title is just a title. I mean, you went through a whole bunch of things about me as CEO. You weren’t impressed with my title. Why are we so impressed with political titles? Senator is a title. Secretary of State is a title. It’s a completely legitimate question to say, “What has anyone accomplished with their title?” And the truth is, there are many in the political class who haven’t accomplished a whole lot, despite their titles….

    It’s so great to see this washed up, over the hill, Yahoo dwelling yenta put in her place.
    I cannot stand her. She is the perfect stereotype of the East Coast, over-educated yet stupid, Ivory Tower dwelling, Limo Liberal 1%’er hypocritical Pissant.

    This happens every time a nit wit ideologue tries to debate an actual intellectual. As soon as the conversation moves off of the rehearsed talking points, the nit wit lacks the ability to synthesize and think and ‘poof’ the argument is over.

    The harping chipmunk lib-prog Couric. I was waiting for her to axe what “papers” she reads everyday.

  4. strider says:

    Very nice. And Carly was barely out of second gear.

  5. Chuck says:

    I’m disappointed. I wanted to know what magazines Carly reads.

    The news journalist equivalent of coming to a gun fight armed with a knife,” and Katie’s knife is made of rubber.

    I was tired of the perky one eons before she became the Yahoo sea hag

    Funny how former news anchors aren’t appreciated by the public like they used to be. Rather, Sawyer, Brokaw, Moyers, Couric, Scheiffer, and of Course Now Williams, don’t call us, we won’t call you.

    I love how Couric tries to take jabs at Fiorina, only to get shot down. This isn’t how an interview should go, if the intention is to simply get to know the candidate. However, I would imagine Couric needs to go back to journalism 101 to figure that out.

    I’ll have to admit to not liking her record as CEO or her Senate run, and her run for President is quixotic, but damn! She’s performing a public service for the Truth and Main Street, all of us “little people” in “fly-over country” who’ve been shut out.

    Humiliating an apostle of the media is gravy!

    Though her prospects may be dim, her campaign is bright! We don’t have to think alike to love our country!

    A smackdown delivered graciously and with a smile is the best kind of smackdown.
