Well, the gals in the National Organization of Women California chapter didn't exactly react with outrage at the "whore" comment during an exchange between Jerry Brown and an aide (which referred to Meg Whitman). They issued their endorsement for Brown the same day. Here is their take from chapter president Patty Bellasalma:
"For California women, actions speak louder than words. We know Jerry Brown's record, and we know Meg Whitman's record. The choice is clear. We strongly urge California women to vote for Jerry Brown for governor."
With N.O.W., it's not about the women. It's about liberal Democratic politics.

The odd thing is the notion that "California women" vote as a bloc. They don't, any more than California men do. Even California gays include the Log Cabin Republicans (which also exists in other parts of the country). "We urge California women to vote for..."?????? No matter how the blank is filled in, and no matter what organization is issuing the endorsement, its kind of pathetic. "Phyllis Schlafley urges all American women to vote for..." How does that sound? How far would it get?
Californians do vote as a bloc-democratic. That's precisely why the state is in such a mess.
And don't tell me Arnold is a Republican.
Arnold is a Republican. Deal with it.
If Californians voted as a bloc, then Governor Moonbeam would be headed for 100% of the vote, instead of running a close race with some clueless millionaire who sold her business while the going was good and decided governing the world's 11th largest economy would be a nice hobby to take up in retirement.
Griff Harsh, the husband of California gubernatorial candidate Nutmeg Whitman, acknowledged in a statement on Thursday that “it is possible” he received and wrote notes on a letter from the Social Security Administration back in 2003, regarding the former Housekeeper/Maid. The Harsh/ Whitman household then fired their housekeeper in June 2009 (after nine years of service), when Nutmeg handlers decided that she was an election liability.
And now the Jill Armstrong, a former full-time nanny of the Harsh/ Whitman dungeon, came to the defense of the Housekeeper/Maid and told the San Francisco Chronicle that she believes Diaz's claim because she "know[s] the family" and "what it was like."
Meg, Meg, Meg, where do I start, you have reportedly spent $140 million of your own money to get elected Governor but you couldn’t use some of it to get your housekeeper (after nine years of service) some legal help to get her papers, and worse you lied about it. Wow, what a WITCH, of course I meant it with a “B”.

But your comments on holding employers accountable for hiring undocumented workers real takes the cake, I assume you exempt yourself and your husband, or will you be turning yourself in.

Meg you think you can buy the election, but what puzzles many is if you real cared and loved California then why not do your civic duty and vote, seems more rhetoric than anything else.
In good times we might give you a try but not in our disaster mode that we find ourselves in after that so-called outsider Independent Republican, named Arnold Schwarzenegger (sold to us by radio personalities John and Ken), ruined our state, yah we will trust another one of you liars, think not. And another thing nine years this maid was in your house, in your house and you failed to learned this major thing about her, come on this sounds like a huge lie that no one can believe in.
Ebay paid out $200,000 because Nutmeg assaulted an employee, so it’s not the first time she has mistreated an employee. Good luck winning Nutmeg, money will buy you admiration from the majority just from the Gay Old Party (GOP), but not from all of California.
Montana,
You may be right about all that, but does that mean you will vote for Jerry Brown? Were you around when he was governor in the
70s-80s? (I was. I remember.) Bringing back Jerry Brown would be like bringing back Jimmy Carter.
Personally, I predict Whitman would turn out to be another Schwarzenegger. Brown, Davis, Schwarzenegger, Brown/Whitman. Either way, we lose.
I was living in California when he was governor, and ONLY the alternative of Meg Whitman (or that guy you voted for in the primary) could induce me to vote for him again. Fortunately, I don't have to make that choice. I have my own nightmare to deal with, an overgrown spoiled brat who can't do simple arithmetic passing himself off as a fiscal conservative. His ads appear regularly on Fousesquawk.
Siarlys,
I have no control over the ads that appear on the blog. Have I ever posted anything about the guy?
Hell, I don't even know his name.
