Meg Whitman opens her mouth and a fart comes out

Sipping the jitter juice really got the Crackpot worked up when California governor Meg Whitman talked out of both sides of her mouth about the illegal immigrant law in Arizona after parts of it were blocked by a federal judge.

“You know, I’m running for the governor of California, so I had to make a decision,” Whitman said. “Does the Arizona law make sense for California? And I have said no, I don’t think the Arizona law makes sense for California because we have a much bigger state with much bigger geography.”

What kind of bullshit answer is that? The Crackpot can’t seem to quite understand this. Granted, Arizona covers 114,006 square miles, compared to California’s 163,707 square miles, but what Whitman says is that the issue is too big for California law enforcement to handle because of the state’s geography?

Well, just a sweep through the flat Central Valley would really knock down a huge part of the problem in California. That could be a start, Meg. Then move down through Southern California and near the border. Then conduct a few sweeps in Northern California. I don’t it’s that hard of a problem to tackle.

But this comes from the candidate who says she can fix California government but really doesn’t have a plan. This comes from the candidate who makes statements similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s when he originally ran for governor. She says that difference between her and Schwarzenegger is that she has business experience. Hmmm. How is that going to help in government when she has to work with people across the aisle? She doesn’t go into any detail there. Unlike a CEO, she can’t say, “You’re fired!” and be queen for a day.

If she becomes the state’s next governor, and she goes in with the attitude that she can fix the state’s issues because has business experience, she’s going to fail just like Schwarzenegger did.

The sad part is that people are going to take her doublespeak, elect her, and wonder what they hell they did and then replace her after four years with someone else who will do the same to them.

On the illegal immigration issue, it doesn’t matter if a person is brown, white, red, yellow or whatever. What is so hard about following the law and doing the things the legal way? I don’t understand. . .
