Meg Whitman’s $141 Million Blunder

If there ever was a good reason to question the competence of corporate CEOs and Republican candidates, this is it.  Meg Whitman committed a blinder so colossal may well, make the difference that flushes the $141 million she has already invested in her own campaign against Jerry Brown right down the toilet.

A new ad from Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown takes Republican Meg Whitman’s own words and turns them into a make-shift endorsement.

The ad shows video of Whitman saying, “You know, thirty years ago, anything was possible in this state.” The ad goes silent and shows text on screen reading, “Who was governor 30 years ago? Jerry Brown.” An announcer goes on to tout Brown’s accomplishments as governor and then goes back to video of Whitman saying, “I mean, it’s why I came to California so many years ago.” The ad is simple and, paired with a previous ad that shows Whitman and current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) repeatedly saying the exact same thing, the ad could help make the difference for Brown in a tight race… [emphasis added]

Here is the ad.

Sometimes Republican politicians actually tell the truth by accident., and when they do, it turns out badly for them.  Republicans govern exclusively for the benefit of criminal corporations and the richest 1%.  Keep them out of office.
