This morning on Morning Joe, several clips were played from the gubernatorial debate between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown.
Brown was asked to apologize to Whitman and was asked if using the word whore was comparable to using the N word.
Brown said his campaign issued an apology, but this was accidentally recorded at a private campaign meeting and this has no comparison with using the N word. The audience reacted will some jeers and some boos.
Meg Whitman rolled her eyes in a very Sarah Palinesqe way. Then went on to say it was a slap in the face to all women in California.
Brown then pointed out that her campaign manager, former Gov. Pete Wilson, while referring to both men AND women in congress, said, and I quote:
I dont blame the judge; he is interpreting the law, Wilson said during a speech before the National Association of Wholesalers Wednesday. I blame the Congress for being such whores to public employees unions that they would pass that kind of legislation.
Meg Whitman said you cant compare the two. At that point, the audience erupted into howls and jeers and boos.
Im assuming that according to Meg, using the word whore to describe a single woman is a slap in the face to all women, but using it to describe both men and women is equal, therefore acceptable?
Or because Browns use of the word was more recent, it worse?
Had a Republican Man's Campaign said the same of HILLARY! or Michelle Obama or Pelosi...
Get it?...
No, you Probably don't.
Carry on.
peace...
