OMG Carly said "VIAGRA"!!!11!!

[csziggy]

And she also said "birth control"!

It was just a simple question about health insurance at a press breakfast.

According to an account in The Washington Post, Fiorina said, "There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra" – O.K., she just invoked one of those never-to-uttered-in-a-national-campaign words – "but won’t cover birth control" – two more – "medication."

"Women," Fiorina said, "would like a choice."

"Choice?"

More important is the single comment:

Yet another bad choice from a really bad bunch ...

Carly Fiorina as VP? Really? She was fired from Hewlett-Packard after she began spying on ... uh ... everyone in the company including the Board of Directors.

On the other hand, Republicans like a little paranoia, secretiveness and gross incompetence in their VPs. See Dick Cheney.

Here is the Washington Post column referenced in the bit above:

Risky Business

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief who is now the Republican National Committee's "Victory Chairman," was discussing consumer-driven health insurance at a breakfast with reporters when she proposed "a real, live example which I've been hearing a lot about from women: There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won't cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice." For effect, the woman frequently mentioned as a possible McCain running mate repeated: "Those women would like a choice."

Silence filled the meeting room at the St. Regis Hotel. "I don't know where I go after that," said the moderator, Dave Cook of the Christian Science Monitor.

Fiorina, for her part, couldn't be any more plain about her vice presidential ambitions without taking out an ad. "I've been advocating on his behalf for about a year," she told the 30 reporters at the breakfast after USA Today's Susan Page asked the running-mate question. "I've spent the last three-plus years getting involved in a variety of issues in a variety of government departments, whether it's the Defense Department or the Central Intelligence Agency or the State Department. . . . There are things that government can borrow and learn from business."
