Whitman campaign calls housekeeper issue a 'coordinated political attack
Edited on Thu Sep-30-10 10:52 PM by spanone
hey meg, isn't that what politics is ...?

+++++++++++++++


Meg Whitman's political team is calling revelations about Whitman's undocumented housekeeper "clearly a coordinated political attack" by attorney Gloria Allred, labor unions and Jerry Brown's campaign.

But the campaign said earlier statements by Whitman that she and husband Griffith Harsh had not been notified by Social Security officials inquiring about the housekeeper's status may be incorrect.

Instead, Whitman's campaign focused on attorney Gloria Allred, who first brought allegations forward that the Whitmans knowingly employed an undocumented immigrant, Nicandra Diaz Santillan,for more than nine years.

Whitman spokesman Rob Stutzman joined Whitman's attorney Tom Hiltachk on a call with reporters this afternoon, trying to shift the spotlight in this story to Brown.

8. This coming from the same bitch who ran a smear campaign for the past several months.
I couldn't watch one minute of TV without seeing this corporate windbag tell me about Jerry Brown's failures and never once offering one damn solution to fixing my states problems.

Live by the sword; die by the sword, Meggy-Poo.
