Comics take aim at female politicians

Female comics got political at the Ms. Foundation’s 20th Comedy Night at Carolines.

Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead quipped that GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina “keeps reminding everyone that she ran Hewlett-Packard, but she keeps forgetting to add ‘into the ground.’”

She also took a shot at Sarah Palin, saying, “That woman would endorse Flint[, Mich.,] water if it got her back in the news cycle.”

Orange Is the New Black” star Lea DeLaria emceed the event, where even Gloria Steinem had shtick.

“For a man to be considered ruthless, he has to invade a country or take your job. For a woman — she just needs to keep you on hold,” Steinem said, drawing laughs.

In the crowd were Marlo Thomas and Kathy Najimy.
