Fiorina's Latest Video Gives 'Demon Sheep' Campbell Big 'Flock you!'
In a campaign video starring a flock of sheep with one interloper that will scare the bejeebus out of you (or at least make you think twice about what animal you count to help you sleep at night) Carly Fiorina has come out the (pasture) gate against fellow Republican Tom Campbell, whom she is accusing of being a "FCINO" (fuh-key-no?) which is an acronym for "Fiscal Conservative in Name Only."
That means in addition to voting to up the gas tax, he's going to keep making budget decisions that go against everything that he says he stands for, according to this eerie video starring a grown man with gleaming demon red eyes frolicking in disguise amid a herd of sheep.
Curiously enough, despite the ominous narrative and cheesy History Channel battle re-enactment music, Fiorina's name is never spoken, and based on the demonization of men (baa, baa, guys?) presumably within her own party it seems the former UCLA dropout and Hewlett-Packard exec doesn't mind slinging a little mud early in the race for Barbara Boxer's senate seat.
