Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief who is now the Republican National Committee's "Victory Chairman," and possible McCain VP selection said:

. . . There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won't cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice. . . ."

Hmm . . . a serious blunder or part of Rove's master plan?

Risky Business

The waiters were still clearing the breakfast dishes yesterday when John McCain's most prominent adviser raised the subject of erection enhancement.

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's brazen breakfast talk demonstrated why she'd be such a risky running mate for McCain -- and yet also, potentially, the most rewarding of his options. She's the most prominent and visible of the women believed to be under consideration for the vice presidency, and her attributes are many: a woman who could appeal to disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters; a corporate hotshot to balance the "economy-is-not-my-strong-suit" McCain; and an outsider untainted by President Bush, Washington and politics. . . ."

This is the woman who was quoted as saying;

"No American has a God given right to a Job just because they were American."

She fired tens of thousands of employees to then outsource jobs overseas.

She does have a point. Birth control should be one of the first prescriptions covered by ANY health insurance plan. Viagra, however, should not be covered.

"a woman who could appeal to disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters"

Huh!?!

Is Dana Milbank male or female? Does he/she really think we're that dumb?

Male.

Note to John McCain:

PLEASE choose this woman as your VP.

signed,
Obama supporters everywhere

Why was the room so silent after her presentation/speech? Because the room was dominated by an old boys club all recieving Viagra from there health plans.

"No American has a God given right to a Job just because they were American."

She (Carly Fiorina) fired tens of thousands of employees to then outsource jobs overseas.

Speaks volumes. But it doesn't surprise me. McCain seems to have left his maverick roots behind and is jumping on the GOP bandwagon of old -- that is old policies ideas that have as much relevance to modern America as the horse and buggy. And that includes his new cadre of advisors. Once again, they want to lower taxes for the wealthy, cut Social Security benefits and Medicare, and cut spending all the while fully funding the war in Iraq. Sounds like George W. Bush – 2004.

"Why was the room so silent after her presentation/speech?"

And also because those same old men haven't had sex with anyone (female), who is still young enough to need birth control, unless they paid for it (the sex).

And they'd be furious if their daughters/granddaughters wanted it (the birth control)

Think Barbara Bush the Elder.
