From an ongoing discussion in the TWoP boards: But when she [Cuddy] can't even give a basic introduction without stumbling, is helpless to stop House signing her name to documents or illegally experimenting on patients and just accepts his lame excuse as to why he's dropping acid at work (Distractions) or tells Cameron to ignore a possible breach of academic conduction instead of telling her to make a formal appointment to discuss it (Sleeping Dogs Lie) or breaks protocol to let an outsider take charge of a transplant committee meeting (Control)those clothes suggest maybe she slept her way into the job after all.

Bolding mine. The poster in question keeps saying this over and over again.

You will not believe how cool and rational I was in my response.

ETA: I really wanted to say 'Incompetent?' in my best pissed!Michael voice, but that wouldn't make sense to anyone but LFN fans so I gave it up.

Er . . . no.

What that means is that a) she puts up with House for reasons of her own, including but not limited to how brilliant he is; b) that breach of academic conduction was stupid on Cameron's part and not really Cuddy's problem; c) the writers use Cuddy in lots of ways that may or may not actually pertain to her job or how well she does it; and d) the wardrobe people are on serious, serious crack. Lisa Edlestein is a beautiful woman, and Cuddy is a beautiful, professional woman, and they need to stop dressing her either as a floral nightmare or a low-cut blouse wearer.

Um. Sorry. Didn't mean to get carried away.

Oh my god. I REALLY want to read your response. I would feel pity for that person... except that they are full of shit and are seriously about to receive teh pwn'age of Lisa and her band of obsessed/over-protective followers.

Oh, please oh please give me the link to your response. I haven't seen anyone get eviscerated in a long time. I miss it. :(

Eeeek!

You *do* know that the TWOP boards are a cesspool of misogyny, don't you? You're doing an excellent job defending her, but it's like trying to bail out the Titanic with a teacup.

Actually, that statement says more about the misogynistic asswipe poster than it says about Cuddy.

GRRRR.

I think that voice might work even without knowing its origins. I've got all kinds of phrases and tones of voice that I've accumulated here and there, just for when I need something specific.
