Carly Fiorina just learned a key lesson in modern politics: Be sure the mike is off when you’re saying something stupid.
In this case, it’s no big deal — she wonders why Meg Whitman would go on the Hannity show (“he’s not an easy interview”) — as if what GOP candidates want now is someone who will lob softballs. She jokes about her staffers “wolfing down cheesburgers.” And she makes a really silly comment about Barbara Boxer’s hair being “sooo yesterday” — suggesting that fashion ought to be an issue in the race for United States Senate.
No real harm done — except to show that she’s not really ready for prime time.
