Really, Meg Whitman? As if you didn’t give us a reason (see: supporting Prop 8) to dislike you already, what’s this about you shoving one of your eBay underlings because you were unhappy with an interview conducted in the online game Second Life?
Whitman’s California gubernatorial campaign is already on the offensive defense, claiming, “Meg is a serious, results-focused boss. A verbal dispute in a high-pressure working environment isn’t out of the ordinary. Meg’s record of accomplishment in business, including her success at leading eBay from a 30-employee startup to a Fortune 500 company, speaks for itself.”
Yeah, but it kind of doesn’t excuse physically assaulting your staff, mmmkay?
C’mon, Meg. You’ve already been dubbed a chapstick lesbian type. You don’t need to harden those credentials.
How about we take this to the next level?

With that mile high forehead that hatefull bitch has, she can use it for campaign posters………….

I just know she is going to win.. we need to prepare for her. (Go dead inside, or move out of state). There is no way Jerry Brown can gain traction.

Who does Smegma Whitman think she is? Running a state isn’t like running a company. She’s unsuitable no matter how many strings of pearls she manages to wrap around her wrinkled neck.

And here I thought that it was the crazy voters that passed all those initiatives that prevent the legislators from managing the state.

Uhm, have you ever, or do you live, in California?
Polls out this week show Brown 45%, Whitman 44%. And after a primary election where Brown spent $200,000 while Whitman spent $70 MILLION. With almost no political advertising, stickers, signs, etc. — Brown– vs. an onslaught of TV and radio commercials running non-stop plus yard signs, mailers, phone centers — Whitman. And they are virtually tied.
Whitman spent 350 times more than Brown and today they are even in the polls. For the general election, though, Brown has $20 million saved up, plus whatever more he raises. Whitman spending will dwarf Brown, but not 350 to 1. Brown’s $20 million will generate sufficient attention and the media will do the rest.
I am no Brown fan. As a person, I think he is a jerk. Rushing out of Starbucks on Fillmore Street,SF, he spilled a quarter of his hot coffee on me and didn’t pause for a moment to apologize. At least I got to lament “Asshole” loud enough for him to hear.
Brown was written off before he won Secretary of State in the 1970s; as SoS, he was written off running for governor. Don’t write off Brown before its over. You have to be at least 50 (my age) to even remember the blame directed at Brown over handling of the Med Fly. But that is insignificant to the many blunders a Governor Whitman will inflict on California.
At least arnold has proven one thing: it sure is easy to bitch and complain about how others handle situations, and sure is difficult as hell to do better. Hasn’t California suffered enough under the thumb of Repugnican governors? Since Jerry Brown was governor, 1991, Repugicans have held the office for 23 of 27 years! The fiscal mess California suffers from is at the hands of California’s hapless Repugnican governors.

(Nut)Meg Whitman is a billionaire and she can’t get those ugly ass canine gums fixed? Everytime I see her and she’s smiling I swear I’m looking a member of the British royal family.

Ugh, do something right for once California, vote down this gumsy bitch! If it was any other state I probably wouldn’t give a damn.
whatever
@Fitz: Yeah, this statement is painfully wrong. Are you auditioning for a gig as a queerty editor?
Fitz
You guys- I seriously hope that I am wrong. yes I live in CA, and have for 25ish years. I have very little faith in those in Ca who bother to vote… Jerry Brown is vulnerable on a lot of levels. Meg is a world class monster who is pretty good at both the phony “down-home Ya’ll” chat and the “The problem is them over there taking your money” blather.. Oh, and BTW– I once showered next to Brown at Club One. Nice bod for an older man! (I know you will ask, so: avg, very hairy).
Fitz
@whatever: Owww. Critisissm accepted. I will go take a happy pill.

It stinks that so many elections in this country now boil down to “who will do less damage?” Brown may not be ideal, but I don’t think there’s as much reason to doubt his commitments to the people of CA as there are for people to doubt Whitman’s. What a truly vile person she is. I hope CA voters won’t elect her, but I fear they will.

Fitz, it’s not just Meg Whitman to worry about. Carly Fiorina in the Senate! Other than she’s against gay marriage, I don’t know her stances on other gay issues, because apparently, she’s been dodging gay rights questions.

@Fitz:
I’ve met Jerry Brown twice – he was polite and friendly. I live in Oakland, he was the best mayor this city has ever had.
Meg”shoving” her co-worker – who still works at EBAY – cost them $200,000. This doesn’t look good for Meg-a-Millions. She is a contender, though. I hope the bitch loses.
Pitou
ATTN Californians: Carly Fiorina is the person you ought to be worried about. MEGA-Millions-Meg isn’t a contender for a seat where they make all the laws for the entire Country. Granted, you ought to be worried about both, as I am in CT with our soon-to-be Gov and Senate votes.
On a side note, as this crap is happening everywhere…You have Carly Fiorina to fret over in CA…we have fucking Linda McMann of WWE fame running for senate here in CT. I fear that trash is going to win simply by WWE fame alone. She’ll win over those people that actually think WWE is a real thing. Ugh…my stomach literally sinks when I think of that Old Republican Trash being a lawmaker from my own state. That’s not MY voice. Far from it.
Good Luck this year CA…and everyone else!

I have a feeling she’s going to win. Suck for overturning prop 8, now.
