I love how you strain to adopt the least realistic view that is still within the literal bounds of earthly possibility when it is convenient for your partisan purposes. I know you're not this densely narrow in your interpretation when it involves someone from the "Evil Left".
I believe Meg's husband did not bring it up with her. A matter with the hired help is a HOUSEKEEPING issue and housekeeping issues are not important to a lot of men. He probably just didn't consider it a priority, and forgot about it.

He didn't think having hired an illegal alien was important? Well, actually you are probably right, it was a very accepted thing for the wealthy to do, still is, unless one runs for elected office. When Meg decided to run, the illegal had to go and the spin had to be spewed that she tricked them. It is not hard to figure out what happened. It seems to be hard for some to accept what happened.

The letter never claimed she was an illegal alien, and the letter stated it wasn't to be used to suggest the alien was.

Meg didn't fire the alien when she decided to run. She fired her when she confessed she was illegal...about 4 or 5 months AFTER Meg announced her run for governor.

It's the ***** maid's fault.

And we all know how quickly your little song would change if this all happened with a member of the other political side. So spare me the BS.

BOO HOO HOO I used the wrong there there. How pathetic is your little straw world that your position is not even focused on the actual issues anymore. Obviously the lessons that I have schooled you on in this thread have fallen on deaf or dumb ears. I'm thinking the latter verses the former is the problem with the lack of understanding of this issue in your posts.

Whitman obeyed the Law and treated her employee as part of the family.

The past Employee is a Real DIRT BAG, Felon, and here Illegally and should be Prosecuted and Deported. Further Gloria Aldred should be thrown in Jail for outing her client.

plus what are people missing here. You are right, I doubt he was terribly concerned about the 15 hr a week house keeper and he asked her to look into it. What part of this can't the libs understand?

correcting grammar and spelling on these boards is in poor taste and I beleive it is also against the policy and rules.

The fact she would fire somebody who was considered "Like Family" and put them out on the street does NOT sit well with a lot of Latinos. She needs about 35% of the Latino vote to will this election according to some polls she has about 31%. If she loses ground in the Latino community there is no way she can win this election.
Maybe you could give us a break down on what "like family" means to each of us who are members of a hyphenated group of Americans... I mean as opposed to the real Americans. Could you also expand upon who exactly makes up the "Latino culture" because some of us might not know if we fall into that group, and maybe we have been remiss in living our lives according to the Latino code.

Most men I know could care less about who does the housework, as long as they don't have to do it - and I don't think he was the one who hired her. My husband wouldn't notice if a REAL illegal alien - one from outer space - washed his socks, as long as they were matched properly.

Default How Pathetic and Cruel

Left Wing Communists like Jerry Brown who is greatly responsible for why Calif has Massive Debt, Crime, Poor Schools, High Foreclosure Rates and one of the Highest Unemployment percentiles in the nation;;;;
Has to resort to Lying and Polarizing one group against another;

Plain & Simple;

Jerry Brown is a Lying Thug and Met Whitman follows the Law.
