Until Jerry Brown came along, Trice Harvey had offered the worst apology for calling someone a "whore" – and ole Trice wasn't trying to be sincere.
Harvey was a Republican assemblyman from Bakersfield in 1994 when Republicans won control of the lower house and thought they could elect a speaker.
Willie Brown didn't give up without a fight. Calling in a chit, he persuaded Republican Paul Horcher to vote for him, ensuring the San Francisco Democrat could retain his speakership for a little longer.
Harvey denounced Horcher as, what else, a "political whore." Democrats demanded an apology, and Harvey obliged: "I'm sorry he's a whore."
You would think that at age 72, having once been a seminarian, Jerry Brown would have learned the power of repentance and apology. But once again, Brown has compounded a blunder by failing to own up to it.
Speaking to a reporter while jogging in June, Brown likened Republican Meg Whitman to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Brown has spent four decades in politics, but lamely explained he thought it was "off the record."
In September, Brown committed a stunning act of technological incompetence by making a cell phone call, leaving a voice message with a Los Angeles police union that was endorsing Whitman, and failing to disconnect the call, recording what he thought was a private talk among his campaign workers.
The story persists a week after the union released the tape. A woman's voice is heard calling Whitman a "whore" for having received the police endorsement after having staked out a position on pensions favorable to the union.
...dispelled that notion, turning to Brown and saying: "We've heard no outrage from you about the use of that kind of language, which to many women is the same as calling an African American the N-word."

...what has been cut from most newscast is..the original recording has BROWN saying he'll use that...(the whore comment) shortly after it's said...
It is ODD that Brown has picked up a couple of points on Whitman since the debate... There is such a disconnect here in Cali. (See Rasmussen: 50-44 Brown)
Brown is such a retard. If he wins that election, it will prove that CA still has some learning to do, assuming they are even capable of learning.
The state is literally circling the drain, and seem to be incapable of recognizing that unchecked liberalism is what got them to where they are. You see it everywhere liberals are in total control. Each and every place is in financial ruin and thoroughly corrupted.
This is a resume enhancement for a democrat. A normal person would have apologized, groveled, and apologized again.
But CA's probably going to elect that warmed-over turd again, so it doesn't really matter.
No it is not. I am in California right this minute, and there is no large-scale circular motion occuring.
Figuratively speaking, I would agree California is circling the drain.
CA voters are fine with that. Brown could be inserting a cigarette into his mouth instead.
It’s being reported as fact that Whitman made that deal,
but Brown was assuming that she did, question is, did
she really strike a deal, she says no.
