At least she has the good sense to immediately address this.

[ansel12]

Mitt Romney moved to California to help install her as Governor against any conservative that might have risen to challenge her.

"I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

[heiss]

I don’t see any problem here so attacking her based on this is just dishonest. Even serial killers often seem nice if you meet them in some social event.

As for the McCain pic in this thread, even that wacko free-speech hater, Fred Thomson was in much more connected with McCreepy.

"of course I did not do a background check of his past over dinner"

Of course? You interact with people without learning if they want to kill you or not? You can’t ask: “What are your politics?” Beat it. This isn’t a game of elitist self indulgence.

[Reagan Man]

Meg Whitman says she is opposed to the radical views of Van Jones. Yet her support for abortion rights and the anthropogenic factor related to global warming are more in line with Van Jones and Obama then those of most conservatives.

Whitman is a liberal Republican and would be better suited if she joined the Democrats. And she should take Mitt Romney with her.

[Earthdweller]

Another, cronie, socialism indoctrinated (Harvard), socialite, game player, spoiled rotten, appeaser, insider, out of touch, Romney cheerleader, elbow scratcher alert.

Hey Meg, your knee-jerk reaction was to bend over backwards to publicly support the guy, just because he was black. Simple as that. And you telegraphed who you really are, another mush-head proponent of political correctness.

[ansel12]

but of course I did not do a background check of his past over dinner.

You left out the description by The Weekly Standard.

"Yesterday Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for governor in California and former eBay CEO, got caught up in the growing controversy over the statements made by White House green jobs czar Van Jones. A tape surfaced of Whitman praising the "marvelous job" Jones had been doing in his environmental work.

Whitman made the statement in May, a year after she'd met Jones on a cruise through the Arctic

-- and long before Jones's radical Communist past and connections to the 9/11 Truth movement had been reported. THE WEEKLY STANDARD asked the Whitman campaign for comment and received the following statement from the Republican hopeful:

[Dick Bachert]

In major CYA mode!

[Califreak]

Too late Meggie.

[OldDeckHand]

I was somewhat agnostic on Whitman, thinking "Hey, it's California. How much better could the GOP really do and still have a realistic chance of winning?".

But, Van Jones aside, if she's stupid enough to think that there really is something called a "green job", then she's plainly just too stupid to be a governor of anything, let alone the fourth or fifth biggest economy in the world.

[RicocheT]

If Meg Whitman was on a cruise sponsored by National Geographic and The Aspen Institute, it’s clear she is a RINO. So is Carly, Kalifornya can’t catch a break no way, no how.

A a conman, charming charlatan, a rasputin — never men one should give a live ear to. Too dangerous. Meg Whitman took the morphine offered by the charming Death Dispenser.

And she did it on a Death Cruise.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Weak.

[jwalsh07]

She couldn’t know Jones was a commie nut by talking to him on the claimate change cruise. But I know she’s a nut by being onboard the good ship AGW.

From Wikipedia:

“Whitman was a supporter of former Bain & Company CEO and Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign in 2008 and was on his “National Finance Team”. She was also listed as Finance co-chair of Romney’s exploratory committee. However, after Romney stepped out of the race, and endorsed McCain, Whitman joined John McCain’s presidential campaign as a national co-chair.”
