California gubernatorial candidate, Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay, who seems intent on spending her way into the California statehouse with a whooping $125 million dollars of her own fortune is known to have hit/shoved/whatever an eBay employee who she settled with out of court for $200,000. One of her sons faced felony charges of breaking a woman’s ankle after she told him “Fuck your fraternity.” Despite eyewitnesses—and you can’t very well fake a broken ankle, either—the billionaire’s son escaped prison when the charges were mysteriously dismissed. Her other son was booted from a tony Princeton private eating club for dropping the N-word all over the place. (Even though his mommy is Princeton’s biggest living donor, son Griff Harsch wasn’t allowed to walk with his graduating class! Classic).

Is any of this surprising? Of course it’s not, but what does the temperament of her children say about Whitman’s own temperament, not to mention her parenting skills?!? How many of you reading this have ever been manhandled by your boss? How many of you reading this have ever hired a $1000 buck an hour lawyer to get your kid off the hook for a felony assault charge or said the N-word in a room full of people? A show of hands, please?

I don’t think I want the governor of my state to be a bullying billionaire who buys herself into office, with a first family including her sorry excuses for sons! Just how far did these nuts fall from the fucking tree, you know? Anybody else in the Golden State feeling me on this one?

The sole surprising thing about the stories of obnoxious entitlement swirling around the drain of Meg and her boffoonish sons, Griff and WIl Harsh, is the fact that most of the media (with the admirable exception of Gawker) is timid about taking on the issue of this woman’s offspring and what their behavior (and her own) say about Whitman’s ability to govern the Great State of California? Nothing good, if you ask me. Nothing at all!

I know, I know, the children of the rich, famous and powerful are supposed to be off limits. But Whitman’s children are ADULTS. Adults who’ve been charged with a felony, on one hand, and ostracized by a club at an Ivy League school (that his mother endows with tens of millions of dollars) for saying the N-word, on the other. Give me a fucking break.

Had the Bush twins done either of these things, I guarantee you, the gloves would have been off!

Jerry Brown for Governor!
