Meg Whitless gets her revenge: "My ex-maid should be deported"

[WI_DEM]

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman of California says that, though it breaks her heart, her former housekeeper should be deported.

The former eBay chief executive has called for tougher sanctions against employers who hire illegal workers, but she's been accused of knowingly employing an undocumented immigrant for nine years.

"Well, the answer is it breaks my heart, but she should be deported because she forged documents and she lied about her immigration status," Whitman said in an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News. "And it breaks my heart ... On Nov. 3, no one's going to care about Nicky Diaz. But the law is the law and we live in the rule of law. It's important."

3. The real Meg finally comes out

in the final desperate hours of her failed campaign. You didn't fool enough people, Meg.

The mask is slipping.

4. How can a candidate be so clueless. It was the perceived ill treatment

of the Housekeeper that turned the campaign.

5. What heart?

6. Is Whitman not the one who attacked Brown, Allred

saying that they were heartless because now her maid would be deported?

Thank you, Gloria Allred, this one time - you helped save Ca. And thanks to Nicky.

9. Like republicans when they don't need you any more

get rid of them. Remember how the republicans fired Linda Tripp after she betrayed Monica and illegally taped conversations. After she had been notified by a clerk at Radio Shack that taping with out letting a person know was illegal and a felony in Maryland. Nothing was done to her.

And how about Katherine Harris, who stopped the voting in Florida leading to the lawsuit that got the republican activists judges to appoint Bush president. She was let go down the tubes when she asked for republican support when she ran for the senate. THEY REFUSED TO HELP HER WITH MONEY AND ENDORSEMENTS.

14. I'm sure her campaign team was thrilled to have this

issue right smackdab back in the political headlines going into the race's final four days.

Nice goin', Meg.

[OhioBlue]

15. what a bitch.

first of all I don't believe for a second that she didn't know her maid's legal status. Secondly... someone that was in your home, that you knew personally, was like part of your family... and you would just have her deported???

17. Whitless is lying....and this changes nothing..nt
