LOL!!! Meg: 'From now on, you don't know me, and I don't know you'

'From now on, you don't know me, and I don't know you'

Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for governor of California, looked the other way for years while employing an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper, a prominent California attorney representing the housekeeper alleged Thursday.

The claim comes at an inconvenient time for Whitman, who is fighting Democrat Jerry Brown for the governorship of California and who just yesterday called for a crackdown on employers hiring illegal immigrants.

.............

She said Whitman walked her to the door and said, "I don't know what I can do, but let me see what my lawyer can do."

She said Whitman later left her a voicemail telling her she talked to her lawyer. "She said, 'I cannot help you. And don't say anything to my children. I will tell them you already have a new job ... and from now on you don't know me, and I don't know you. You have never seen me, and I have never seen you. Do you understand me?' "

2. Meg's in a bit of a jagged pickle on this one.
It's not lookin' so awful good for her profile to urge a strict crackdown on hiring illegal immigrants while having formerly hired one.

"You have never seen me and I have never seen you. Do you understand me?" Jesus, what a cold-hearted monster Meg must be.

7. I love the irony of a poor immigrant destroying a billionaire's election chances.
Sometimes there ain't enough money in the world.

8. Yes. There's Meg and all her arrogance and all her
cash mountains, and then the woman immigrant trying the best she can to navigate through the survival mine field.

I really didn't care one iota for Meg Whitman before this story broke and I like her a lot less now.

10. This line reminds me of one from "Stalag 17"
Sefton (William Holden): If I ever run into any of you bums on a street corner, just let's pretend we've never met before.

14. One could say she won her primary election based on her ability to out-hate
her opponent on the subject of immigration. How are the people who were attracted to her anger going to react?

22. Look at all the stalwarts, gathered around the dimming molten wreckage
of what $190 million can buy in the Golden State.

26. Another One Two Smart By Half...
This is the fun time of the campaign season...6 weeks left and the real dirt starts to fly. Any good OP researcher who has a nugget like this has probably been sitting on it for quite a while while Ebay Meg thought no one would know. Of course she'll scream this is a political dirty trick...but nowhere near as dirty as the number Meg did on others on her lust for wealth and power. Sure gonna look good in a state with unemployment running at 15%...

27. One thing I have to say for Meg: she did not report her to Immigration. That was nice, no?
Edited on Thu Sep-30-10 09:22 AM by thereismore
But I still hope this incident will bury her chances!

To boot, she cannot use this one humane thing she did because emphasizing it would totally piss off her base. NOT reporting an illegal! Imagine that!

29. Yes that was nice. Meg's a real sweetheart.
Of course she didn't report her to immigration. She provided cheap labor & Meg didn't have to pay unemployment. And I'm sure she didn't provide any benefits whatsoever.

I doubt this will hurt her much. I hope I am wrong.
