Locals Only Wrap-Up

Non-residents of the Golden State won't give a shit about this interminable (Hundreds & hundreds of words!) agglomeration concerning the bitch campaign* on the edge of the continent.

Both are super-rich political novices with no record in public affairs prior to taking on leadership roles in the 2008 Republican presidential campaign. Whitman was national co-chair of the McCain/Palin campaign, while Fiorina served McCain and Palin as national chair of the Republican Victory Fund.

No record indeed. Neither of them were even registered for much of their adult lives. But why bother voting when you can shove politicians around as if they were corporate drones?

Both are controversial former CEOs of big Silicon Valley companies, leaving as the stock prices of eBay and Hewlett Packard shot downward.

Both are staunch opponents of President Barack Obama, who carried California in 2008 with 61% of the vote and continues to be quite popular here. Not only did both play major roles in the Republican presidential campaign in 2008, Whitman and 2012 Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney both acknowledge that Romney came up with the idea for Whitman to run for governor and then convinced her to do it.

Romney/Whitman '12?

*LAPD terminology.

According to a copy of the personnel complaint filed against them, Varga and McNicholas made sexist remarks on a number of occasions--allegedly referring to a police car containing two female officers as a "bitch car."

Also applicable to a newscast w/ two female anchors: "Bitch cast."
