Meg Whitman: Hypocrisy and Karma

[Wry Catcher]

Someone may have mentioned this previously, but a very recent (within past 7 days) L.A. Times article said that recent polls have the Hispanic population of CA very much down on Whitman.

Good point. Why would Brown blow the whistle on her if that were a fact?

Nah, the issue is that Meg is a bullshit artist. She tries to run as an anti-immigrant, while the fact show she hired undocumented workers.

I love how with you libs, when ever a conservative is involved, Un proven accusations become facts.

You have no shame. Anyone recall the RW posting over and over that Obama is not a citizen, Obama is a Socialist, Obama hates white people, Obama is a Muslim, etc. etc. ad nauseum, without evidence?
RW Fringers, the party of hypocrisy and morons.

Meg Whitman’s Maid is an Illegal Immigrant – Meg Whitman who is running for Governor of California decided to fire her maid for nine years after she allegedly find out that she was an illegal alien. Whitman is running on a campaign of strong illegal immigration laws for California.

Nicky Diaz however, disputed the claims of Whitman. Diaz said that Whitman know of her illegal status since 2005 but the GOP candidate never took action. Perhaps Meg Whitman did close her eyes on the issue because Diaz was only paid $23 an hour which is very cheap.
“I was shocked and hurt that Ms. Whitman would treat me this way after 9 years,” says Diaz.

During a press conference, Diaz was flanked by Attorney Gloria Allred, where she accused Meg Whitman of wrongly firing her when she confessed her illegal status.

Whitman is alleging that this is all a political show and she never knew about DIaz status until she approached her and confessed about it.

Whitman says, “She knew I was thinking about… or I had already announced I was running for governor, and she came to us. She called me and she said, ‘I need to talk to you about something.’ And she came over on a Saturday to our house. And she said, ‘I feel terrible about this. I have to tell you that I’m not here legally.’ And my husband and I were there. We were stunned. Just amazed. And we said, ‘Gosh, Nicky. We’re gonna have to let you go.”

This issue will surely affect Whitman’s chances for Governor in the midterm elections this November. If the allegations were true this would mean that she is double-talking on the issue and fails to act on her personal case on illegal immigrants.

Only paid $23/Hr? Which is cheap??

Hey. This Mexi doesn't look like Paris Hilton.

I wouldn't give her $23 to roof my house, wash my car, trim my trees, then make me a taco.

And everyone says to punish the employer. How are you going to keep Mexicans on their side of the fence when you are paying them big money to do work that any elementary school drop out could do for minimum wage.

And isn't this a job that any American would do for that amount of money?

As much as progressives would like to believe this story, there just isn't enough evidence to base an opinion. Whitman went through an employment agency to acquire the employee and the employee presented false documents to The Whitmans. False S/S number and false driver's license. In regards to the letter in question, to the Whitmans:

"She suggested that the housekeeper may have intercepted the letter, since she was in charge of the mail at the couple's Silicon Valley home.

For a second straight day, Whitman forcefully denied the allegations and called them a "political smear on me, on my family, and based on lies." She said her Democratic opponent, Jerry Brown, was behind the story and that the housekeeper was being manipulated for political gain.

When asked at a news conference whether the worker might have taken the letter intended for Whitman, she said "it's very possible." The housekeeper was in charge of going through the mail, she said."

Lawyer says Whitman's husband saw ex-maid letter - Yahoo! News

AquaAthena, if I hire you and you furnish me with fraudulent documents, I would know no later than the day the IRS or California notifies me no SSN exists for the tax I just paid on your salary.

I'm not saying this is im-pos-sible. But the only explanation I can think of is, Whitman paid no employment taxes....hardly a "face saver" for her.

Well, I am sure more will come out on this. Until then, I assume nothing....

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..

Yet another disgusting smear by Jerry Brown....what a loser.

Yet another stupid post by a disgusting partisan (see Zander, I didn't call you a stupid asshole - even though you are ). Give me positive rep.

 

[Zander]

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.

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".


That poor maid - she was only being paid 3X the minimum wage...the poor thing.

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.

The lying illegal lady was so upset that she had to "READ" her words..? HUH? When I am upset about something I don't need to read a friggin' script.!

This is such an obvious smear that only the brain dead will fall for it.......Of course that is the Democrat party base....

I agree with that, for sure. This whole thing is politically motivated and won't mean anything compared to the important issues relating to the economy. It is getting smelly....

 

[boedicca]

Well, it's far more important to accuse people of being witches and having domestic help than to explain policies which will fix the economy.

 

[JakeStarkey]

She got the letter.

Got any proof? She claims she never got a letter.

So I guess we just take you word on this? Or do you have a link or something

As much proof as you do that she didn't. Watching her carefully on TV last night, a reasonable person knows that she is not telling the truth. The Hispanic vote is probably going to see it that way, and that jerk Pat Brown is going to waltz into the governorship.

Meg Whitman: My Maid's Full of It
9/29/2010 11:40 AM PDT by TMZ Staff




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meg Whitman's campaign just gave us documents suggesting that her former maid, Nicky Diaz Santillan, actually lied to Meg about her immigration status when she was hired back in 2000.



The documents, which Whitman claims Nicky filled out and signed back in 2000 during her application for employment, appear to show that the maid stated under the penalty of perjury that she was a "lawful permanent resident" of the United States.

Whitman also claims Nicky provided her with a social security card and valid California Driver's License with her employment application ... which Meg kept and has now handed over to TMZ.

Whitman has also issued a statement on the matter, saying ... "After 9 years of faithful service, Nicky came to us in June 2009 and confessed that she was an illegal worker." Whitman continues, "Nicky has falsified the hiring documents and personal information she provided to the employment agency that brought her to us in 2000."

And, Whitman continues, "I believe Nicky is being manipulated by Gloria Allred for political and financial purposes during the last few weeks of a hotly contested election."

Whitman concludes, "This is a shameful example of the politics of personal destruction practiced by people like Jerry Brown and Gloria Allred. The charges are without merit."

The link has pics of a fake SS number and CA DL used when she was hired. Page 12.

Brown is pure scum to try and do this and I am glad it backfired in his candyass lying liberal face.

If I were Mrs Whitman husband I would walk up to Brown and knock his ass flat. Then dare him to get up.

 

[Oddball]

The Sea Hag was on with John & Ken this afternoon.

Every pointed and direct question to her over the credibility of her "victim" client (i.e. the fake/ stolen SSN, the questionable timing of the accusations, the clear language in the letter from the SSN that it wasn't to be construed as basis for termination) got the reply of "Meg Whitman lied to the preeeeesssss!"

Well, DUUUUH!

 

[Ava]

Well, it's far more important to accuse people of being witches and having domestic help than to explain policies which will fix the economy.

Yeah...that's really all the Left has much experience in....

 

[Zander]

Maddy, you are quite naive.

Jerry has long been a player in CA's Democrat Party. This is all connected.

O no doubt, boedicca. But riddle me this: in this day and age, WTF chooses to run for public office without squaring away their employees' immigration and tax situation first? This bullshit pisses me off. I had a maid-and-nanny for my daughter in middle school, part-time, and paid that lady well but I also had documents on her and withheld on her, matched it and sent my taxes in like a good citizen.

Some ***** billionaire cannot show that much respect for our laws I say **** her, but I freely admit, I don't like Whitman. But then I don't like Brown either.

Mostly I just pity poor California.

She paid the taxes and social security. fully. It's a smear, plain and simple. Remember - Allred has a long history of political smears...a few days before Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, was first elected to that office, Allred had a press conference with a woman who claimed that AHNOLD!! had groped her. That bimbo also read her statement from a script........A tired old smear..........

 

[Harry Dresden]

Whitman is clearly not the answer; as for blaming Brown for the fiscal problems in California one might - if one were honest and not a partisan hack - consider this fact: Since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1966, California has been governed by only two Democratic Governors: Jerry Brown and Gray Davis (total time in office 12 years and 10 months); Republicans have held the office a total of 31 years, and for 15 of the last 19 years and ten months.
Suggesting Brown is "one of the biggest reasons California is as fucked up as it is" may be your opinion, but it is based on a foundation of bull shit.

and how many years has this State been controlled by a Democratic Legislature?.....how many years have the voting block in this State been basically Democrat?.....Whitman is not the answer....but neither is the near corpse known as Jerry Brown.....

I feel for ya, but Meg has shown that she will lie to get the job and hang a person out to dry.

Jerry, as much a political hack as he is, does not lie. Neither did his dad. The family is hardcore left (makes Obama look right of center), but no one ever had a problem with their integrity, and that included their great enemy, Richard Nixon.

Simply an observation. That is clearly true of you.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Whatever, Charles, you loon.

 

[Harry Dresden]

She got the letter.

However, perception here is what will win or lose her this election on this issue: if the Hispanic vote takes to heart the idea that Whitman is hanging out her former housekeeper simply to be governor, then they will make sure that she won't be.

i work with a few Mexicans Jake.....they think the maids crying routine was a great act,and whenever Allred is involved .....well lets just say she is an Al Sharpton kinda person.....not everyone,Hispanics included,fall for her theatrics........

 

[JakeStarkey]

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.
