Jerry Brown Reacts to Meg Whitman ‘Whore’ Slur at Debate (Video & Transcript)

[Lancey Howard]

It sounds to me like Brown blew Whitman away. A wise handler would have told Whitman to stay above it all and have no comment lest she be viewed as insincerely milking the victim role. She really stepped in it. She should have kept her stinking mouth shut. “Whore”. Big deal..

brown sux.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Well, I just got the double meaning in the title. Shows how slow I am.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, Meg Whitman, Pete Wilson... all political whores. Whores of a feather...

[GLDNGUN]

An ad against Whitman say she was paid $120 million shortly before 10% of the employees at eBay were laid off. Does anyone have any information on this? I need an answer to respond to someone that says this ad has changed their vote away from Whitman.

For the sake of argument, let's say it's true. SO WHAT? What does one have to do with the other? If eBay laid off 10% of their employees, the evidently felt they didn't need them anymore. Again, SO WHAT? Were they supposed to keep them employed simply for the sake of giving them a check to do nothing of value? THAT'S WHAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES AND ONE BIG REASON WE HAVE A HUGE DEFICIT! Private enterprise companies have to compete. eBay made a strategic decision to cut their workforce by 10%. Again, SO WHAT? They also liked the job Whitman was doing, so they paid her what they thought she was worth and to keep her around. Again, SO WHAT? Ask your idiot friend this question - "IF YOUR BOSS CAME TO YOU AND OFFERED A NICE BONUS OR A RAISE, WOULD YOU TURN IT DOWN IF YOU KNEW THEY WERE LETTING A FEW EMPLOYEES GO?" Of course not!

Brown is one of many reasons that CA is a cesspool these days! It’s mind boggling how voters think out there. Nobody seems to learn from their mistakes.

Whitman follows up in the spinroom after the debate. Says she was "stunned" by Browns statements tonight.

It sounds like Whitman has milked the “whore” comment for all it’s worth. At least it got that idiot Gloria Allred and her illegal alien client off the front page. Now, it’s time for Whitman to “man up” and move on. If the people of California think Brown will make a better governor than Whitman they could care less what she was called and vote for him. Meg better demonstrate why she would be a better governor, period.

[Vendome]

Really? He blew a whore?

[A CA Guy]

You want to see slow, I look like I’m in slow motion chasing my two year old.

I thought all those decades of experiance were to my advantage. It seems instead that youth will be served.

[EternalVigilance]

Yeah, when the whole lot of them work in a bordello, the label kinda loses its sting, doesn’t it.

[Political Junkie Too]

Private conversation. I'm not even sure it's legal because you have to get the consent of all the parties and there's lots of people talking...

Brown initiated the call, Brown himself forgot to hang up the call. How can he blame others by calling it a "picked up.. cell phone call?"

Also, Brown is the Attorney General of California. Why is he saying that he's "not even sure it's legal?" Maybe he should have kept his law license current before stealing the AG job?

Jerry Brown Blows 'Whore' at Debate

Really, kristinn? Why would you make up such a vulgar headline?

[gunsequalfreedom]

"IF YOUR BOSS CAME TO YOU AND OFFERED A NICE BONUS OR A RAISE, WOULD YOU TURN IT DOWN IF YOU KNEW THEY WERE LETTING A FEW EMPLOYEES GO?" Of course not!

I don't have to ask him that question. I already know the answer. If my bonus was $120 million and I was already very well off and I knew 10 percent of the workforce was going to be laid off, I would not take the bonus.

Do you have a better answer than that? The one you offered is not going to work.

After the debates of 2008 who in their right mind would agree to Tom Brokow being the debate moderator?

[Arizona Carolyn]

The Bay area of California......... yep this was a Brown audience.

[mlo]

"The audience cheering Brown. What a hole CA has become."

Get a grip. What California thinks will be shown on election day. Not by how one particular small audience behaves.

According to the Hugh Hewitt show the whore comment came from Browns wife, so I guess it was okay for him to blow her....

[Wayne07]

I don’t disagree - this makes it harder to vote for her. But just imagine a Dem dominated legislature, Brown as governor, and prop 25 passing. I still have a small amount of hope for CA but that would end it.
