NBC’s Tom Brokaw, the debate moderator, arrived on stage Tuesday on crutches. ...
“It’s kind of a metaphor for California. We’re both broken for the moment,” he said of his hobbled state.
Then he delivered the laugh line: “The difference is, I hope to be repaired by the first of the year."
Get stuffed, Tom.
Characteristically condescending as it was, that crack wasn’t as insulting to the CA voter as holding one third of the goobernatorial debates in a foreign language, and making it unavailable in English. How many legal voters in this state are non-functional in English? Zer∅. BTNIN
Now, on to the important issue of the debate:
“...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’ ...” Brokaw said.
Whaaa?!?!??? uh… No.
"Jerry, it’s not just me,” she said. “It’s the people of California who do deserve better than slurs and personal attacks."*
Oh, put on your Big Girl Panties, Meg. Playing Victim, victim, I’m The Bigger Viiiictim is a FAIL tactic. Watch her facial expressions. *eyeroll* ooooooooo
Now, Meg—watch Jerry win the whole point at the end:
OR *clicky*clicky*
Here’s the part the vid missed:
“If Jerry Brown gets to be governor of this state, there will be a meeting…of all the union bosses who are there to collect all the IOUs for their having funded Jerry Brown’s entire campaign,” Whitman said.
Count how many times ya hear that on the nooz today…
"There’s no sacred cows over the long term,” Brown said, citing plans to trim by 15 percent his own budget in the governor’s office as a way to demonstrate leadership by example.
oh. wow. Considering part of the current Gobernator’s office includes his 10+ “special aides” each being paid $100K+, that won’t be hard.
...the governor’s office budget is only $18 million a year. “That’s less than one one hundredth of a percent,” she said. “If that is your plan for fixing the budget, we have really big problems ahead of us."
ooooooooo Wait! A real issue:
“I wouldn’t totally eliminate the capital-gains tax, which my opponent Meg Whitman wants to do,” Brown said. “That would add $5 billion to $10 billion to our budget deficit,” he added.
“The tax he likes so much is a tax on jobs,” Whitman said.
“How much money will you save if this tax break goes into effect?” Brown asked of Whitman, a billionaire. [howinhell does that even pertain?!?]
“I’m an investor, and investors will benefit from this, but so will job creators, and I was a job creator,” Whitman said.
Well, alrighty, then.
“I have never said I want to cut spending on education,” Whitman said. “Only 60 cents of every dollar goes to the classroom. Forty percent goes to the bureaucracy…that’s why the next governor cannot be beholden to the California Teachers Association, because they want to protect that bureaucracy. And the number two contributor to Jerry Brown’s independent expenditures attacking me is the California Teachers Association.”
Now we’re talkin’.
