Carly Fiorina: My college degree in medieval history will help me fight ISIS
NY Daily News ^ | 10/6/15 | ADAM EDELMAN

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina may not be a liberal, but she certainly appears to be a fan of the liberal arts.

The 2016 contender said Monday that her college degree in medieval history made her uniquely qualified to combat ISIS and other terrorist groups.

“My degree in medieval history and philosophy has come in handy,” Fiorina said at a town hall in Windham, N.H., “because what ISIS wants to do is drive us back to the Middle Ages, literally.”

This would be funnier if there weren’t people who think she’d be OK as a President.

She’s barely above Marie Harf with this statement.

She also needs a degree in medieval Tibetan poetry or classical studies in Chaucer.

Carly’s nuts but Karl Rove and Rupert Murdoch love her.

I’ve played over 200 hours worth of Call of Duty, so in that same sense, I should be able to fight ISIS single-handedly....

I was thinking the same thing. No wonder she drove HP into the ground.

She could also watch Game of Thrones for a little help in fighting ISIS.

Candidates like these remind me of the pitiful new requirements a lot of colleges look for in applicants, like “diverse” backgrounds, surviving prison, skin color, liking ultra-perverted sex, and the like.

But they don’t need to have a firm grasp of basic arithmetic.

Carly.... maybe it’s time for you to go back to whatever you were doing before the campaign.

We Americans were kind of hoping to hire a mature professional for the job, not some college kid.

To Fiorina's everlasting shame, especially after having majored in medieval history at Stanford had the unmitigated gall just weeks after Islam's assault against the US on 9/11 claimed in a direct quote of Fiorina's text comprising the last 500 words of a 3,600-word speech given on September 26, 2001 about Islamic civilization -
"There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world."

As disgusting as the timing of that September 2001 declaration was, it clearly was not the only time Fiorina spoke of Islam with resplendent admiration....

People here need to get a grip and realize this is a media fabricated line for attention that is taken out of context.

She’s talking about the fact that ISIS is barbaric and indirectly drawing attention back to the era when the Muslims tried to conquer Europe militarily.

These are all good things to highlight for the general public whether you like Carly as a candidate or not.

I’m a fan of Medieval history so Carly and I may have some topics of conversation. Other than that I personally find her a bit attractive.
