An associate of Jerry Brown calls Meg Whitman a "whore" over pension reform (AUDIO) October 7, 2010 | 6:22 pm
In a private conversation that was inadvertently taped by a voicemail machine, an associate of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown can be heard referring to his Republican opponent Meg Whitman as a “whore” for cutting a deal protecting law enforcement pensions as the two candidates competed for police endorsements.
The comment came after Brown called the Los Angeles Police Protective League in early September to ask for its endorsement. He left a voicemail message for Scott Rate, a union official. Brown apparently believed he had hung up the phone, but the connection remained intact and the voice mail machine captured an ensuing conversation between Brown and his aides.
With evident frustration, Brown discussed the pressure he was under to refuse to reduce public safety pensions or lose law enforcement endorsements to Whitman. Months earlier, Whitman had agreed to exempt public safety officials from key parts of her pension reform plan.
“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,” Brown said.

Transcript being discussed now on www.kfi640.com. Tim Conway Jr. is reading certified transcript.
Yet another democRAT experiencing projection!
3 weeks to go and it’s time to load up on the beer and popcorn.
Keep in mind folks, the US economy is still going to collapse. Impossible that it won’t. Our hope is that enough conservatives in DC will keep a fascist dictatorship from coming into being.
435 conservative Republicans in the House can not prevent the inevitable that is coming down the pike. Best hope is mitigation and a smaller disaster.
Brown and his people can’t stand the idea of not being “pimps” over pension reform.
They always do, whenever a female conservative is involved.
They just can’t help themselves from being trash. It’s genetic.
This is priceless! I copied, pasted and emailed to all my friends. Love it when someone gets caught on tape! It was just meant to be.
kfi640.com has just posted the audio. I think you go to the site and click on Conway Jr’s photo.
Gov Moonbean...A chip off the ole block, daddy liked little dirty jokes too.
Brown camp is claiming they know nothing about the recording.
When will Gloria Allred demand someone’s head for calling Whitman a whore?
No, it’s Jerry. I’ve listened to it twice. He is at least one of the ones saying the word.
This election is like One Life to Live or Dynasty!
“Well, I’m going to use that,” Brown responds. “It proves you’ve cut a secret deal to protect the pensions.”
Oh my, What a monstrous F/U. Hey Meg - Do you think Gloria Allred might be interested in representing you in a defamation lawsuit?
Hey Jerry Brown and Gloria Allred - Have either of you ever heard the phrase “An angel directs this whirlwind?”
