Despite the state MSM's semi-embargo of the Jerry Brown "whore" tape, news of the gaffe has managed to at least escape and find its way to the voters. Legal Insurrection notes that, despite all of the reporting that has already been done, no one else has noticed that Meg Whitman is not the only person Jerry Brown insulted:
Beginning at 3:10 of the audio, Brown and his aides begin a discussion of Whitman's proposed budget cuts. A female voice says "Yeah, Jerry, we've got to focus on the police chiefs, we got to get them [inaudible]." Another female voice in the background says "[Inaudible] I just want to make sure we talk about this." Brown then says (at 3:20):"I'm going to hit that out of the park, not that they read."
D'oh!
The union has had the last laugh on this one, as it is the source for the tape. Jerry Brown should be embarrassed, of course, as should all of his PR agents in the media who keep telling us what a scary smart guy he is. But, the biggest embarrassment should belong to "progressive" Californians, who have provided Brown with a public career for 40 years, and increasingly looks positioned to give him a narrow victory in November.
