Like I said, Harry, the perception here is what is going to count. If the Hispanics don't buy the crying jag, then Meg has a chance. If they do, she is nothing more than pinata time.
I think Meg is toast. I've been watching the local news today and I think the Hispanics appear to be totally sympathetic to the maid. You really screwed up, Meg.
Yet another disgusting smear by Jerry Brown....what a loser.
Gloria Allbret is responsible, Zander. She may well have an axe to grind or be a rabid Jerry Brown fan, but t'aint fair to tag Jerry. I doubt anyone controls Gloria.
Gloria Allbret is a partisan HACK. Dont you wonder where this illegal woman would get in contact with her.
The housekeeper is a tool Gloria Allbret is using as a political smear..
Well said! I think this is going to blow up in Jerry Brown's face. He's the same scumbag that said of Ronald Reagan "Don't forget that an Actor killed Lincoln".I'd say the most logical interpretation of what happened is what Meg claims:
- She hired the maid through an agency, and lied about her immigration status on her questionaire.
- Meg paid her and paid the payroll taxes she was supposed to.
- The maid intercepted letters for the SSA.
- When Meg decided to run for office, the issue came out and the maid was fired.
- Now the maid is either seeking revenge or being used as a tool by the Democrats.
This is yet another example why most people are loathe to get involved in politics. Honest people are particular prey - while scumbags like Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters, Christopher Dodd ad nauseum (who do far worse things than hire somebody and pay the taxes) get away with their abuse of the public treasury.
And yes - I feel sorry for my home state of CA as well. Our politicians and public employees have looted the place.
That poor maid - she was only being paid 3X the minimum wage...the poor thing.

The maid is a loaded gun, no doubt, and Gloria clearly meant this to damage Whitman's campaign. But if it is true, so what? Shaming a billionaire ain't gonna break my heart if it is true....and I just do not see how it can be anything else.
Lawyer: Whitman’s Husband Saw Ex-Maid’s Immigration Letter CBS San Francisco- News, Sports, Weather, Traffic and the Best of SF
I do not like billionaires buying public elections, mudwhistle. I'm also pretty hawkish on paying the taxes you owe and following US immigration law. If that makes me a "bitch", so be it.
I had thought it just made me a Republican. My bad.
Conservative Immigration Group: Arrest Meg Whitman, And Her Housekeeper Too
A conservative group against illegal immigration has called for the arrest of Meg Whitman, the GOP's candidate for governor of California, and her former housekeeper Nicky Diaz for breaking immigration laws. The Americans for Legal Immigration PAC said Thursday that Whitman should stand trial and Diaz should be deported.
"It's pretty clear from all parties involved that Whitman did intentionally or unintentionally hire an illegal immigrant for nine years, which is a violation of federal law," William Gheen, president and spokesman of ALIPAC told TPMMuckraker in an interview Thursday.
...
pussy? LOL.
what a way to cowardly back off your OP
The OP verbatim:
"Meg Whitman: Hypocrisy and Karma
"News today, Meg Whitman employed an illegal alien for Nine Years as a housekeeper. So, what is her campaigns reaction?
"Of course, it's all about the left wing media negative attack. This from a campaign that has spent months and $$$$'s on attacking her Republican opponent in the primaries and General Brown since her buying the Republican nomination for Governor of California."
The point of the OP is simple. Ms Whitman and her campaign used negative ads for the past six + months against her Republican Opponent and after she 'bought' the nomination against Attorney General Jerry Brown.
Now that she is attacked, her campaign is complaining about dirty politics.
Did I type that slowly enought for the echo chamber to understand?

Man, Yurt ran from this post and then the thread like a total bitch.
And after all that bravado earlier in the thread too.
It would be interesting to know why the SSA did not send a yearly letter. Once a number is flagged it is pretty basic that the flag would not go away until the matter was resolved.
If a new SS# was used after 2003, then it looks as if Whitman was lying about being in the dark.
Perhaps she simply stopped reporting the maid's earnings.

MeThinks the Distinction is that the "Free Press" does the Advertising for FREE for the DemocRATS in the form of Favorable Coverage and Questions about Unseemly Potential Behavior and Actions by the Right from Unnamed Sources... They call it "News".
The Right has to Spend it's own Money to get that Tripe on the Tele Against the "Free Presses" Party...
peace...
I had my fun. A liberal actually tried to tell us 23.50 an Hour is not a good rate of Pay for a maid.
LOL

That's for full time.
had megs maid been full time. she would have earned 48,000 Dollars.
WELL above the average for a maid.
TO FUNNY
Yeah, to funny.. The average bonded maid makes $50. an hour for cleaning in California. A fulltime maid like Wittys, according your figures makes $1.59 hour to $3.31 hour. And you think that is a good wage for a livein maid? I am laughing with you..........
