Meg Whitman Twitter FAIL Becomes Youtube Sensation
What was meant to be an announcement from the Whitman campaign heralding the candidate's endorsement by the San Diego Deputy Sheriff's Association inadvertently became an endorsement of a much different nature due to a URL error.

Check the video to see what Meg Whitman's campaign actually linked to. What will Focus on the Family say?

1. Thanks!
I needed a good laugh!

It came a good time, just found out my wife is being forced to retire from her job, so a laugh comes in handy!:toast:

Does the San Diego Deputy Sheriff's offer themselves out to Whitman to please her every desire?

10. Whitman tried to blame Brown for the "whore" remark.
So, maybe we should blame her for this?

11. Ironically, this may help Meg in the end..this would explain why they STILL havent fixed it
They continue to show this mistaken url on their tweet and its clear they want ot keep it that way.
It does get people going onto her twitter channel and from their her main site to get more information...so if people are doing this just ot see the error some will go and read more about her and do something crazy...like vote for her.

Here is hoping she still loses.
