"I apologize, Ms. Whitman," he said.

Whitman wasn't having it.

"It's the people of California who deserve better than slurs and personal attacks, . . .

Career? In his case it's congenital. Another one of our new class of Patricians who think they have a birhtright to rule....

Over all Whitman did very well, but at least once she was not too quick on her feet. During this exchange Brown said, reference to the recording of the conversation:

"I'm not even sure if this was legal"

Jerry, you are the Attorney General, if you do not know what is legal, who does?

I think this comment was a willful leak, much as Zero’s sly middle finger during speeches. The rhetoric and trash language rise is going to continue even more, progressively.

They want to communicate to excitable Politcal Coup making liberals something.

First you have BushJr. and his pro illegal, pro-weak Kinseying sales tactic of “shopping addiction”, then Zero is heralded as a messiah by the GOP followers in the media. This is a Napoleon III liberal dictatorship elitist French style “Campaing Finance Reform” Coup against the Republic.

However, within this coup, there are other coups coming in, just like during the French Revolution. Obama is acting like the son of a Lithuanian whore whose boy is groomed up by the communists who sent her as garbage to make him insertable into accademia via pay offs and sex. Then you have other opportunists and what not.

THe whole nation is undergoing a trashy sex revolution language coup, making it a Vichyist cowardly and costly French like empire (and NOT British, as Buchanan libertarian plants insist, as Vietnam was a French thing) which is to benefit the Hitlers of the EAst aka Russia and China style hard capable dictatorships.

Brown’s full quote:

“I apologize, Ms. Whitman,” he said. “I’m sorry you’re a whore.”

Wiggle tactic. If you listen to the tape, it is clearly a mans voice and one that sounded like Brown. The wife thing was just a diversionary tactic to minimize it because nobody on the Republican side is going to “Lazio” an opponents wife.

One of his spokesmen said it was somebody who could not be fired and that led to an assumption some made to his wife. I said bunk and reminded them the only person who could not be fired from a campaign is the candidate.

I guess it took this long for the Brown campaign to get the focus group and polling feedback analyzed and reviewed.

What a bunch of pimps!

Did I hear it right on Fox just now, that Whitman is saying that the W word is to women what the N word is to blacks?

Are you kidding? I really hope she didn’t say something that dumb. This push to normalize whores, sluts, prostitution needs to be stopped.

What a lying headline.
He did not apologize for an aide.
He said, “It [the tape] was so garbled and there were many people in the room. It’s hard to say who it was, but I apologize for the campaign.”

He went on to say this kind of thing happens in campaigns all the time, thereby nullifying the “apology” which was a lie anyway.

Brown’s a shameful loser, and Whitman handled it all BEAUTIFULLY.
