1. If you make them publicly deny something, then you have won

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. She protests too much, methinks!

:P

[elleng]

4. Darn right! If she didn't know, it was because she didn't want to know,

didn't do her 'homework.'

[tomm2thumbs]

15. somebody did their homework - see, they wrote on the test

oops... somebody is lying so bad, it hurts

[underpants]

3. Aren't you supposed to ask?

I had to show a SS card for every job I've ever had.

Isn't Whitman expecting employers to.....oh wait no she isn't, they never mention that because then Smithfield packing, Tyson foods, and the Western Growers Association don't want that to be mentioned.

[RBInMaine]

5. She's a fucking unqualified right wing bitch who wants to buy an election. Fuck her.

[jonathan_seer]

23. ditto

right on target.

Her treatment of her illegal employee especially makes sense of reports on how racist her sons are.

[tomm2thumbs]

6. No one likes a rich liar Meg

did you know that, or are you still in your store-bought bubble?

7. Document shows Meg Whitman lying, attorney says

[Toucano]

8. Translation:"How can we create more good jobs cleaning my toilet?"

Well, Meg, the answer is simple.

You need to start a comprehensive strategy wherein all the billionaires in California intentionally MISS the toilet whenever they go in to answer nature's call.

This way, you're creating much more work that will require fleets of toilet-cleaning maids.

It's a win-win. You save time you used waste defecating IN the toilet and Latino voters in California can count on MORE GOOD JOBS!

This doesn't even take into account all the jobs you'll create cleaning up the shit that comes out of your mouth. It's ass-tronomical!

9. So when she learned in October 2009 that her housekeeper was here illegally, what did she do?

Is that when Whitman started thinking about running, I wonder? Time to clear out the skeletons before throwing her hat in the ring?

Was the woman fired?

[tomm2thumbs]

10. She says she'll take a lie-detector test... oh that Meg

I want her to answer all kinds of questions while she's hooked up - gotta make good work of it

from LA Times:

Meg Whitman’s husband declined to say if it is his handwriting on a 2003 document that would have raised flags about the family housekeeper's eligibility to work in this country legally.

Dr. Griff Harsh walked wordlessly through the lobby of the Doubletree Guest Suites in Santa Monica, where his wife earlier had a news conference. It was at that news conference that Whitman said neither she nor her husband had seen a letter from the Social Security Administration that said the housekeeper’s name and Social Security number did not match. Shortly after Whitman's news conference concluded, attorney Gloria Allred held her own news conference, where she unveiled the 2003 document, with handwriting on it that she said was Harsh's.

ooops... me thinkst they didn't have their stories straight... tsk tsk tsk

[izquierdista]

13. I hope it's a 10,000 watt lie detector

:evilgrin:

[napi21]

11. "Hit you over?" Have you ever taken an English Class?

If a feather "could" have knocked you over, then let ME take a shot with something a bit more substantial that is guaranteed to work! How about you having to concede to Gov. Brown!

[KansDem]

28. Apparently she has as much trouble with metaphors as she has with hypocrisy...nt

[liberation]

12. Ha! All these business types pennywise and pound foolish always!

So she saved some meager dollars by hiring illegals to do work for less than normal residents, only to that decision leading her to lose this election (HOPEFULLY) and waste the 100+ million dollars of her own money she seems to have sunk in this campaign.

LOL.

[liberal N proud]

14. Depends on what your definition of did not know is

Any time a republican is caught with their pants down (figuratively or not) the troops rally and protect and cover their ass.

Let a Democrat do the same thing and its prosecution time.

[lumberjack_jeff]

16. Heh. Watch the eyes. Lying. n/t

[Blacksheep214]

17. A little handwriting analysis oughtta do it!

I live in Cal and am so tired of hearing her voice and those idiotic commercials.

She talks of docking legislators pay if they fail to pass a budget as if she has ANY control over them.

Let her try and they will tell her to piss up a rope!

Can we be done with her now?

[tomm2thumbs]

18. agreed, her over-exposure of her grinning, gritting voice has done more to undo her lead

fake messages only resonate so long, before finally you start to hear the ring of untruth in them

repetition is not flattering on her candidacy - and this whole 'Meg' thing is just gross. If I wanted to know my governor on a first name basis, I'd certainly not pick an out of touch billionaire who has no sense of humanity

[mascarax]

19. "and who can take on the CA Teacher's Assn..."

That was at the end, before it was cut off.
What is her deal on this?

Sorry, am not in CA so don't follow closely -- but definitely most positively do NOT want the great state of CA to fall into Queen Meg's (and Carly's) horrid hands.

I suppose Teachers are the Problem, and we need more testing and charter schools?

(Also gotta give credit to Gloria for holding her press conference after, with the alleged Queen Meg's Husband's handwriting. If this hurts Meg's campaign, good.)

[Politicalboi]

20. I like the sign behind her

"Jobs are on the way" I'm just wondering WHERE? I hope this sinks her even more.

[Marie Marie]

21. It only took her 1 minute to change the subject

to jobs - the right wing campaign talking point. And that phony smile on her face tells me she is a class A LIAR. I want to make that incredibly clear. Liar liar- pants on fire.

[Techn0Girl]

22. LOL - She actually DID say that. Brown must be loving this - I know I am :)

[NoSheep]

24. She wants to make it "incredibly clear" that she didn't know her employee was illegal

LOL...Yes...it is incredibly clear.

[AsahinaKimi]

25. What did she say??

oh yeah.."I don't know you and you don't know me, got it??"

[Blacksheep214]

26. Now she plays the political newcomer card!

As if she is shocked by this.

JUST GO AWAY!

[yurbud]

27. you could smell the flop sweat through the computer
