To be fair they only realized he existed when he tweeted a mockup of the reddit user profile page (only change was the addition of a single field for a bitcoin address)

nah, democrats will easily be the worst because they don't think they're sexist, so they can just let it fly without even a hint of self-awareness

look at what happened to sarah palin and then multiply it by ten since carly will be a presidential candidate

republicans are going to spout government-as-a-business nonsense while praising carly for her business acumen

sarah palin was dumb and proud of it -- i'm sure that's why she got harsher criticism. fiorina is a terrible person, but she can probably name a few newspapers or magazines

no way fiorina will make it through the primaries. palin got it so bad because she somehow got herself on a presidential ticket that actually had a chance of winning, and mccain was old enough that there was a realistic chance of him kicking the bucket and giving us president palin

i'm sure a large component of it was because she was a woman

remember how a whoooooole lot of democrats were fixated on her children and the persistent rumor that her kid with downs syndrome was secretly her daughter's that she adopted to avoid scandal? or how everyone laughed at her when she had the temerity to buy clothes with her family? or how every single gaffe she made was pounced upon and derided in the media, whereas everyone just chuckled at ol' diamond joe and cheered him on whenever he said something stupid or condescending? or how in the immediate aftermath of the announcement of being selected as mccain's running mate, there were discussions about how hot she was?

hatred toward hilary has long since moved beyond plain ol' sexism, but it is still there, however there are vast, untapped wells that the democrats are waiting to dip into when carly officially runs

most news i saw about biden would report everything he said as some kind of "gaffe", even when it made perfect sense

and jonny is right about palin's hotness -- that was a huge part of her appeal from the beginning, and something that i'd read about on wonkette back when she was still in alaska
