And if there's one thing the Democrats are experts on...
Reminiscent of the voicemail recordings that torpedoed Mel Gibson and Alec Baldwin, the Jerry Brown campaign has shot itself in the foot in a similar fashion. After Brown had made a solicitation phone call, he apparently thought he'd disconnected, but must have put his phone on speaker, while the voicemail continued to record.
Jerry Brown: “Do we want to put an ad out? … That I have been warned if I crack down on pensions, I will be – that they’ll go to Whitman, and that’s where they’ll go because they know Whitman will give ‘em, will cut them a deal, but I won’t.”
Second voice: “What about saying she’s a whore?”
Jerry Brown: “Well, I’m going to use that. It proves you’ve cut a secret deal to protect the pensions.”
Stay classy, Democrats!

ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeletePfft. Seems like a setup to me. Brown was finishing a comment when this was said and who is to say he even heard the comment? A whole lot of assumptions going around... and we don't even know the person who said it? So soon after Whitman attempted to blame Brown for that illegal immigrant employee too. Very shady timing imo....
ReplyDelete“Meg Whitman is a pro-choice woman who was ranked among the world’s most accomplished women in business. She’s now running to become the first woman governor in California’s history, and on the same day that it’s reported Jerry Brown’s campaign called her a ‘whore,’ the National Organization [for] Women endorses him." -Whitman's campaign mgr.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'd call "very shady timing".
