The Michael Kinsley definition of politcal gaffe is the accidental telling of an embarrassing truth — and if that’s the case, Jerry Brown committed the ultimate gaffe. Only Brown didn’t commit the gaffe in this campaign; he committed it fifteen years ago in an interview with CNN. Brown told the network that politicians in his experience don’t really have plans for governing, or at least specifically in his own experience. He admitted that he lied in order to win election in 1974, and Meg Whitman pounces on it in this eleventh-hour ad:

The new Joe Miller ad and this one, two really excellent political commercials.
Good. I was hoping she was going to use that newsclip in an ad.
Great ad and her GOTV might win for her and Carly
This reminds me of how FDR set interest rates.
Is that an honest or a dishonest thing to do?
This is the reality that Americans face in every direction they look right now.
Ouch Jerry!! Better put some ice on that!!!
Meg opening the XL can of whoopass!!!
Great!!! you cannot play nice with filthy Rats like that crud McCain did that gives them legitimacy,Instead you crush and humiliate the bastards in front of the world.
Priceless!
And the timing is PERFECT!
No time or method for Brown to effectively defend or refute!
Why would anyone vote for a guy that was nicknamed Moonbeam back in the 60’s? I just don’t understand people anymore.
That is Commiefornya for ya.
I am seriously considering moving to Texas.
Brown will say that he misspoke. LMAO
While attempting to demonstrate candor, he instead proves that he and always be a “space man.”
Why would anyone vote for a guy that was nicknamed Moonbeam back in the 60’s? I just don’t understand people anymore.Most people don't know the Vice President's name. Why would they know that Jerry Brown is a former governor let alone called "Governor Moonbeam"?
Slam dunk. She saved the best for last.
Moonbeam destructive late 70’s regime that has created all the chaos with massive union pensions, crazy environ laws, road money going to unions,and a huge white collar union force.
But, the demogrpahicsa are shifted greatly, the white flight to AZ,NV,COL,ID, WY,NM etc... has the current population ignorant of this dangerous Acorn/seiu/movon.org puppet. Plus add a large radical leftist media in all metro areas which hide his dangerous record and its scary.
We will see if there are enough regular people left to stop him.
If Brown wins we plan to move within two months back home to the south.
“I was hoping she was going to use that newsclip in an ad.”
I couldn’t figure out why she hadn’t used it before now, but maybe it was good strategy that she waited til the end of the campaign.
I may be showing my age, but didn’t they used to call Brown Moon Man? (like moon bat?)
wow, that’s even worse (i.e.BETTER) than I thought.
The only thing that could make it better is:
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...”
I don’t remember that. The one that always sticks with me is “Lord Of The Flies”.
