Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina responded Sunday to a comment hosts on “The View” made about her face.

The hosts on “The View” said her face during the CNBC debate Wednesday “looked demented” and compared her appearance to a Halloween mask.

Fiorina addressed the comment in an interview with Fox News Sunday.

“Conservative women, from Sarah Palin to Michele Bachmann to Carly Fiorina, are long used to this,” Fiorina said. “It will not stop me. It will not scare me. And maybe the ladies of ‘The View,’ if I come back on again, let’s see if they have the guts to say that to my face.”

  1. Well, actually it was about your “smiley” face they called “demented,” not your face per se. Wonder if you ever told Barbara Boxer to her face what you said about her hair being “so yesterday”? So get over yourself.

  2. Clearly Carly doesn’t know Whoopi , Whoopi will have no problem saying a whole lot of things to her face, probably could do a HBO special just on that encounter

  3. “Conservative women, from Sarah Palin to Michele Bachmann to Carly Fiorina, are long used to this,” Fiorina said.

    Um, no, Carly – I’ve known many a straight men who’ve told me Bachmann and Palin are MILFs. You, Carly, are no MILF. Trust me, I’m a gay boy and we know these things. Sorry to burst your bubble, though.

    Edit: Now, then again, if you wanted to compare yourself to, say, Phyllis Schlafley, go to it.

    Edit #2: I would like to apologize for my Phyllis Schlafley crack here. Not nice. Truth is that we should not stoop to the level of ever attacking a person’s natural looks. Granted, this whole (recent) issue got started when a lady of ‘The View’ made a crack about Carly’s smile–or lack thereof–it has morphed into some not very nice comments. For my own part, I apologize. Thank you.

  4. More faux-outrage from the perpetually outraged party…

  5. In this vein, here’s one of my all time favorite ‘reads’ from RuPaul’s Drag Race:
    Carly, you may not be all that pretty… And you may not be all that smart…

    (Then you just stop talking and walk away.)
