Carly Fiorina Open Mic Video: GOP Senate Candidate Mocks Barbara Boxer's Hair

Carly Fiorina Open Mic Barbara Boxer

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 06/09/10 07:33 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 05:45 PM ET

That didn't take long. Fresh off a victory and preparing for an appearance on KXTV in Sacramento Wednesday morning, California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina was caught sharing a joke about Sen. Barbara Boxer's hairdo.

While bantering with people off camera, Fiorina mentions that a friend "saw Barbara Boxer briefly on television this morning and said what everyone says -- God, what is that hair?"

Earlier in the video, someone tells Fiorina that they are "relaunching failed senator right now," to which Fiorina responds "good, failedsenator.com. Hello, Barbara."

At the beginning of the video, Fiorina also appears puzzled that Republican gubernatorial Candidate Meg Whitman would choose to go on Sean Hannity's Fox News show on the "first day of the general [election]."

"I think it's bizarre, I mean she's never been on Sean Hannity. I think it's a very bad choice actually. You know how he is," Fiorina continued. "Why after saying no to all these people would you go on Sean Hannity?"

CNN reached Fiorina's campaign Wednesday, which dismissed the significance of the comments.

"This was nothing but early morning small talk," Fiorina campaign press secretary Amy Thoma told CNN in an email.

Watch the video, via CNN:

The candid and casual attack on Sen. Boxer's hair made Fiorina look petty and small. While she's puzzled that Meg Whitman would choose to go on Hannity, I'm puzzled that she'd be so willing to quickly take the low road herself.

Nobody wants to join Barbara Boxer or stand with. Barbara Boxer is special. Barbara Boxer is a "senator" remember. How dare you address her as maam. How could you? She worked really hard to get to where she is now. Nobody wants to help Barbara Boxer to defeat Carly Fiorina here in California, lets be serious let alone anywhere else. BARBARA BOXER, GO BURIED YOUR FACE SOMEWHERE ELSE. Your not the most important person in this country or here in California.

Fiorina is an embarrassment to all women, even high scoolers behaves better.
You are such a toast hon, for your shallow stupidity and your nasty catty sniles....

Pssh. Let her try to make fun of someone else- Fiorina looks like Blanch from Golden Girls.

I just read a bunch of posts and you people are pretty thin skinned, wow what a bunch of babies considering everything that has been said over the last couple years probably by many of the posters here about Sarah Palin!!!

Is it normal to have a camera running and a mic on for 5 minutes even though they are not on the air?

I prefer Leona Fiorina.

Let's see, how many MEN's hairdos did we discuss this election Tuesday??
Oh, right: none.

Shame on that twit Fiorina for dredging up the worst stereotypes about women.

If "that hair" is so "yesterday," lady, your comments are pretty much fifties material.

Of course, you're so right !!!
I repressed that, just can't think of it as a "hairstyle."

I am seeing Miss Fiorina in a different light since yesterday.

She was really funny if you watch her closely. Perhaps if she loses in Nov. she can become a comedian. Really.
She has the talent for it.

so what if she was quoting a friend? That dismissive laugh was enough to make my skin crawl. Now she gets to remind everyone what a survivor she is, so she'll spin this using her cancer as a shield, and already has. DISPICABLE! Now she gets to play the victim card just like Palin does to her growing legion of mouthbreathers. The GOP is out of ideas and out of classy candidates.
