YIPPEE FOR CARLY! – AT 2:56 A.M. ET:  I like Carly Fiorina.  She's probably the gutsiest of all the GOP candidates for president.  And I love it when she talks back bluntly to the bullies in the journalism business, people like Katie Couric.  From NewsBusters:

Newly minted Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina went toe-to-toe with liberal journalist Katie Couric on Monday, sparring for 45 minutes on abortion, Hillary Clinton and qualifications for President. Yahoo correspondent Couric complained about Fiorina's criticism of Clinton: "You've had some unkind words for Hillary Clinton. You said that she was not trustworthy and she hasn't accomplished very much. I think people might think, 'Well, she was the senator from New York and she was the Secretary of State.'"

Couric chided, "How can you really make those claims?" This came after Couric had her own "unkind words" for Fiorina, reminding, "During your tenure at HP, the stock fell by more than 50 percent, which is a bigger drop than companies like IBM and Dell. And you were fired after five and a half years as CEO."

Fiorina put the two questions together and zinged:

FIORINA: Well, you see, Katie, in the world I come from, a title is just a title. I mean, you went through a whole bunch of things about me as CEO. You weren't impressed with my title. Why are we so impressed with political titles? Senator is a title. Secretary of State is a title. It's a completely legitimate question to say, "What has anyone accomplished with their title?" And the truth is, there are many in the political class who haven't accomplished a whole lot, despite their titles.

Couric quoted comedienne Cecily Strong as saying, "Carly Fiorina is considering running for President." Seems like a lot of work just to be a Fox News pundit." The Republican retorted, "Oh, Katie. Would you ask a male candidate that question?"

COMMENT:  Carly will probably not be at the top of the ticket.  She may make it as the V.P. candidate.  But whether she scores or not, she's showing Republican candidates that they don't have to take it from liberal bullies in the press.

I thought it was remarkable that Couric would bring up Carly's being fired.  Didn't Couric get pink slipped by CBS?  Doesn't she think people remember? 

Keep it up, Carly.  You may be the best man we've got.
