BLOGONAUT SPEAKS OUT ON MEG WHITMAN WHORE REMARK

Opinion, by Blogonaut

The media has pounced on the private, accidentally recorded remarks of a female Jerry Brown campaign aide—that Republican opponent Meg Whitman is a “whore” for selling out her stated principles in return for a union endorsement.

Here is how we see it:

This was a private remark uttered in a political campaign strategy session by a woman that in context would have applied equally to a male political opponent who had prostituted his stated principles in return for a union endorsement and also happens to be true.

The staffer was not implying that Whitman sells sexual services for money and let’s face it, if that is what Meg Whitman did for a living she would starve to death.

This is the height of hypocrisy, because if you think the Whitman campaign has not said worse about Jerry Brown during private moments not meant for public broadcast then you need a glass of milk and cookies.

Besides, does anyone really believe that after not even voting for 28 years until she decided to run for Governor that Whitman spending $140 million of her own money to buy the office is a reflection of anything but hubris and vanity as opposed to a desire for public service? Because that is the overarching point here.

We have already cast our vote for Jerry Brown (by absentee ballot)—but we have also voted for Steve Cooley in the California Attorney General race and we voted for the Peace and Freedom candidate on the ballot against Nancy Pelosi (so disgusted are we with her partisan politics).

And we also not only voted for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary election, we supported her with the maximum campaign contribution allowed by law—then voted for John McCain in the general election.

So before you dismiss our opinions as those of a sexist Democratic Party sycophant, think again.
