Curly Fiorina Spits Up Hairball Politics
Senate hopeful tangles with Barbara Boxer's locks
June 14, 2010
Last week Curly Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard boss who's running against incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer for a California senate seat in the November election, jabbed at the elder legislator's hair. "Gawd, what IS that hairball?" Fiorina said of Boxer's hairdo. "Sooooo yesterday, soooo . . . so-so. That's what you get with old Democrats . . . bad hair days all year long."
Fiorina, who is 15 years younger than Boxer, sported a fresh, frisky look—a hybrid of Donald Trump's comb-over and a hip surfer mohawk flying in the breeze off California's coast.
Boxer, 70, not to be outdone on the hair front of the senate battle, snipped: "God, what ARE those Fiorina attack lips? Sharp? Scary? You could slice onions with those lips. Ms. Fiorina's inkjet foul mouth needs a change of cartridges."
The tough GOP executive volleyed back: "Barbara can't think outside the Boxer," Fiorina said. "I eat gals like her for breakfast. She's a perm from 1940."
"Yeah?" Boxer swiped her own cat claws. "That crusty old Hewlett Puckered knew how to lipstick it to 30,000 HP employees. They're FIORED!"
