Jerry Brown or aide is heard slurring Meg Whitman - latimes.com

Quote:
In a private conversation inadvertently captured by voicemail, Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown or one of his associates can be heard referring to his Republican opponent Meg Whitman as a "*****," saying she cut a deal protecting law enforcement pensions while the two candidates competed for police endorsements.
Oh my.

This is no surprise! I am sure it will end up being called a 'right wing conspiracy' somehow.

Wow, if this were a Republican male speaking about a Democrat female, it would be all over. The howls and protests would be unbelievable. But as usual the femanist organizations will be mute, since any kind of slander against Republican women is permitted.

It's a drop in the bucket compared to her illegal immigrant scandal, she has no chance in winning.

No suprise that Jerry Brown, who has spent his entire adult life living on the taxpayer dime and union paybacks is a misogynist. Indeed he knows what it means to prostitute himself via public office. Whitman on the otherhand has not.

The unions no longer feel the love for Jerry exclusively.

Two audio recordings of the conversation were released to The Times on Thursday by the police union. On the initial recording, the voice making the "*****" reference appears to be that of someone other than Brown. A union official later produced what he described as an enhanced version of the recording. In that recording, it is unclear whether the "*****" remark was made by another person or by Brown himself.

The union has endorsed Whitman and is spending $450,000 on her behalf.

Jerry Brown uses pejoratives freely. Nothing new to look at here folks........

no chance of winning, what the heck are you talking about? And no, if it is true it isn't a drop in the bucket. It is deplorable. Now, I will agree it isn't nearly as bad as what the Democrats or someone in the party has tried to do to her. They will not stop. All of you who are chomping at the bits to see her get beat may have a huge surprise 3 weeks from tues.

Neither the nanny thing, nor this, is a scandal, the Hatfields and McCoys should return to their corners immediately! If Anna Nicole were still alive, she's the only one capable of labelling the term ***** upon someone at this level. Even that would be lame. All politicians are *****s, it's only a matter of time. This should be the indicator we use that neither side have anything more relevant to bring to the table, the vote should be forced today!! Stupidity will reign from here on out.
