Mr. Class: Jerry Brown Agrees With Aide that Meg Whitman is a "Whore"

Funny how often Democrats can act like misogynists:
In a private conversation that was inadvertently taped by a voicemail machine, an associate of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown can be heard referring to his Republican opponent Meg Whitman as a “whore” for cutting a deal protecting law enforcement pensions as the two candidates competed for police endorsements.

The comment came after Brown called the Los Angeles Police Protective League in early September to ask for its endorsement. He left a voicemail message for Scott Rate, a union official. Brown apparently believed he had hung up the phone, but the connection remained intact and the voice mail machine captured an ensuing conversation between Brown and his aides.

With evident frustration, Brown discussed the pressure he was under to refuse to reduce public safety pensions or lose law enforcement endorsements to Whitman. Months earlier, Whitman had agreed to exempt public safety officials from key parts of her pension reform plan.

“Do we want to put an ad out? … That I have been warned if I crack down on pensions, I will be – that they’ll go to Whitman, and that’s where they’ll go because they know Whitman will give ‘em, will cut them a deal, but I won’t,” Brown said.

At that point, what appears to be a second voice interjects: “What about saying she’s a whore?”

“Well, I’m going to use that,” Brown responds. “It proves you’ve cut a secret deal to protect the pensions.”
You mean like the deal Barack Obama gave the auto workers and the teacher's unions? Is he a "whore" too?

Like Brown and his cronies didn't know the line was open. They just figured that as "progressives" they can call anyone names and get away with it; for the good of the "people" of course.

Gag me.

I've hung up a phone improperly, and realized it some time later when I hear the busy-signal/disconnected tone. They didn't get the tone, not being disconnected.
