Never a good thing.....

Brown or aide is heard slurring Whitman


In a private conversation inadvertently captured on voicemail, someone calls the GOP candidate for governor a 'whore,' saying she made a deal to protect law enforcement pensions while seeking endorsements.

That's probably the nicest thing people in the Brown camp have been saying about Meg Whitman recently.

Apparently Whitman cutting a backroom deal with a union to win its endorsement isn't considered as newsworthy as an aide's slur.

Whitman is most certainly a whore for letting law enforcement keep their ridiculous benefits while attacking teachers. Whoever called her a whore should be given an award for honesty.

Not a good choice of words, but it's not like it's a secret that this sort of talk happens behind the scenes. If she cut a deal for an endorsement, then I agree that is the story, rather than some off color language.

Apparently it was actually this guy suggesting that calling Whitman a whore would be a good strategy, not actually calling her one. But Brown seemed to agree. That leaves me incredulous. Doesn't it alienate female voters?

Multiple little stories like this can add up. Another 1 or 2 gaffes like this and this race could be a toss-up again.

That is unless Whitman makes a couple gaffes herself.

It won't matter. The Democrats have come home, as expected.

Calling her a "whore" implies that she had principles in the first place, an implication I'm not sure I can agree with.

So, does that mean that any charge of misogyny is dead?

California sure is lucky that there aren't any real issues to discuss in this race.
