Fred and Ginger were having a swell time on the dance floor, until Fred got a bit too exuberant and decided a high-kick was somehow appropriate for the moment. Ginger went sailing through the air, her expression quickly changing from professional giddiness to one of abject fear, and she smashed through the rather flimsy wall of the set and into the neighboring sound-stage.

LOL – Carly Fiorina probably wishes that there was a similar image of her, like this, right before her anticlimactic fall!

That fall was very symbolic, it was over and done with just as quickly as her relevancy in politics… 😉
