Meg Whitman IS a Whore

If you are following politics at all, you know that the Tea Party candidates (the most confused political party on the planet) are taking over, and that an aide on the Jerry Brown campaign was caught on tape calling his opponent in the race for governor a "whore."  Jerry Brown apologized, but he shouldn't have.  She is a whore. 

Now, the term "whore" has a couple uses, which anyone but Whitman and possibly Tea Party candidates understand.  The most typical definition is a man or woman who sells sexual favors for money or some other kind of compensation (crack, hamburgers, Hummels).  It also means a "venal" person.  "Venal" means you are capable of being bought for money, or that you can be bribed.  (Get your CA governor's race shirts here. Look, I'm whoring!)

By that definition, both Brown and Whitman are whores.  They are politicians, afterall, but Brown called it first, and he was right.  Whitman, quick to spin whatever she can, made it into a form of hate speech against women, which is insulting to women, prostitutes and California's voters.  Unless, of course, Whitman is a whore in the traditional sense.  Then I could see her getting upset.

(I love porn, but I don't think I'd like to see Whitman involved in any sexual act.  That said, if anyone out there has real footage of Whitman involved in giving sexual favors [oral, anal, vaginal, whatever] for money, I will leak those here and to the media and keep your identity secret.  I do have media contacts, and I am known for keeping people's identities secret.  So ... let's see it if you got it.)

Whitman's whore status is well-known.  She's sold out her ideals for an endorsement, and that was exactly what Brown's aide was commenting on.  The fact was that Brown should not have apologized, but should have defended himself and told people in that debate moderated by Tom Brokaw just why his aide called her that.  Those same arguments can be used against him, but when he throws the first stone he puts his opponent on the defense.  Instead, because American society has a hard time with dealing with such honesty, he has to back down and apologize.  (And a big "fuck you" to Brokaw for insinuating that "whore" is as offensive to women as the "n word" is to African Americans.  First of all, if whore was as offensive, he would have had to call it the "w word," as he did for the "n word."  [Typing the "n word" feels silly to type, but I need to in order to prove the point.]  So, therefore, by his own question he proves the word is not as powerful.  The word Brokaw is really thinking of is "cunt."  That is closer to the "n word," as he puts it.  Even then, however, I don't think there were ever water fountains that had signs on them reading, "Cunts only."  What a way to skew a question, Brokaw.)

I get that your standard, ignorant voter is going to be upset about the term "whore."  That person's reality is not reality, however.  She is a whore.  She sells out her values.  She sells out California residents.  That's not even all that important, however.  The fact that she has no solid plans, and the plans she does have are more harmful to CA's citizens than what we have now is the real issue.  Name calling, as accurate as it may be, can be a great way to cut to the issues, but Brown missed the opportunity here.  He should have pushed it.  I would've.  I would've said, "Well, Meg is a whore.  She tells the citizens of this fine state that she's fighting for their interests, but then takes the side of special interest for its endorsement.  That's a whore.  She sells herself out and her voters, and she does it to get more votes.  That's a whore."

That kind of honesty, however, doesn't make itself known too often in our society.  It's a shame, too.  Maybe if it did we wouldn't have to even play around with the idea that the "w word" is even close to the "n word."  And I wouldn't have to write such nonsense.

Whitman and Brown -- not only are you both whores of the worst sort, but you're also liars and thieves.  Brokaw -- you're just a fucking asshole.  Always have been and always will be, and I'll defend all of those statements without apology in any public forum any day.
