Nut-Meg Whitman is a RINO

NUT-MEG WHITMAN IS A RINO (Republican in Name Only)

Meg Whitman, the former eBay CEO, who is considered the “leading Republican candidate” for California governor, is actually a Nut-Meg who has aligned herself with some of the mooniest bats of the global-warming movement, including  outed Obama green “czar”, the  racist-hatist-communist Van Jones. 

The billionairess Whitman is hoping California Republicans will forgive and forget, or maybe she’s thinking  you won’t ever find out in the first place.  And this week, while her errors are being aired, she appears to be taking cover this week, so she won’t have to air or err, anymore?

She apparently has declined to appear with other gubernatorial candidates on the Ronn Owens show at KGO Radio tomorrow.

So let’s just get Nut-Meg’s laundry out on the line. 

Here’s how it all got started.

White House “Green Czar” Van Jones quit in the middle of the night in the middle of Labor Day weekend after investigations by Fox News’ Glen Beck and independent news blogs found written and video-taped proof that Jones is an avowed communist, a member of the black radical STORM group, signed a petition after 9/11 with several other liberal leftists alleging George Bush’s administration orchestrated the World Trade Center bombing to justify the war in Iraq.  Jones was seen on YouTube videos over and over again making one outrageous comment such as : white industrialists have deliberately put toxins in black communities, that only white kids commit Columbine-style school massacres, that wealth needs to be redistributed in America, and that Republicans are “a**holes.”   He presumably took the red-eye back to Oakland to seek comfort in the arms of those who tolerate and encourage this kind of speech.

Then what happened:

As Van Jones circled slowly around the drain, suddenly there appear yet another YouTube video.   Meg Whitman, former eBay CEO,  presumed (at that point) Republican front-runner in the California governor’s race, is seen radiantly gushing on tape about how WONDERFUL Van Jones is!

Here’s the text version of what she says on the tape in comments made in May of this year:

“There’s a guy over in Oakland, I think his name is Van Jones. And he and I were on a cruise last summer in the Arctic, on climate change. And I got to know him very well. And a lot of the work he’s doing to enfranchise broader communities I’m a big fan of. He’s doing a marvelous job… I’m a huge fan of his. He is very bright, very articulate ,very passionate. I think he is exactly right.”

( Naughty note from me:  For the moment, let’s just avoid the bad  mental visual of middle-aged Meg canoozingly with Van Jones aboard a global-warming schmooze cruise at the North Pole. “I’ll have what you’re having, Van”?)

Rival Republican candidate Steve Poizner has released this video this week:

Meg Whitman and Van aboard the Love Boat

The Weekly Standard blog  was one of the few able to catch up with the elusive Whitman this week…So WHY was she waxing on so warmly about Van Jones, again?

She huffed of COURSE she had no idea over DINNER aboard a CRUISE hosted by the National Geographic and the Aspen Institute…and why OF COURSE she doesn’t agree with Van Jones’ views of …..”   blah de blah

Lesson learned?

Ms. Whitman has just gotten her first (and should be last) lesson in the difference between running for very public chief executive position of a very prominent state, and being the pampered chief executive of a glorified, large tech company cloistered behind the safety glass, burled walnut, and security guards.

But wait, did she say “climate-change” cruise?

Besides getting “Jones-ed”, the reason that Whitman met Van Jones is even more troubling.  What was this cruise she was on with Jones?  What other company has this “Republican” been keeping and do you want to vote for her when you know?

It’s all there on a webpage hosted by former President Jimmy Carter.   You know, the prez listed as one the of the “3 Worst Presidents in American History” by American Thinker?  The Arctic cruise was July 10-18, 2008.   Jimmy and Roselynn were the featured panelists or moderators most days, or so he says.  The passengers were an  interesting mix of discredited old liberal hacks like former Secretary of State Madelyn Albright (is there a YouTube of her dancing with North Korean short-man Kim Jong Il and pronouncing him a reasonable man?)  former U.S. Senator Tom Daschle (who resigned after it was found he “forgot” to pay his income taxes on a $2 million dollar condo and didn’t report the “free” chauffeur and limo service he received from a lobbyist) and self-entitled uber-richkind like Larry Page of Google, Ted Turner, and of course Nut-Meg “the Republican” and Van Jones, the black radical-commie-racebaiter. 
Carter details each day in loving tribute to himself and his presidential “accomplishments.” (At one point he even offers a link to his 1979 energy speech at Camp David.  zzzzz) Carter says of the trip:   

“During all this time, we were learning about the Arctic from various experts and distinguished passengers. We didn’t want the voyage to be wasted, and we explored various ways that we could promote some environmental goals, including the enhancement of alternative fuels, a cap on carbon emissions, and better international cooperation when we have a new administration in Washington.  A drafting committee began putting together a brief statement of what we have learned and some ideas for action.” 

The idea of wanting to go the North Pole with this group, be stranded aboard a ship in the middle of ice chunks listening to Jimmy Carter droning on and on…and assisting the greeny, goony global-warming, carbon-crediting, cap-and-trade agenda???

Most Republicans, conservatives, libertarians and even a lot of independents would consider this Carter-cruise a punishment, definitely a wrong turn at the loading docks?   It wouldn’t be anything they would CHOOSE to do.

Meg Whitman was invited, chose to attend, and judging from her videotaped remarks about Van Jones on the cruise, apparently enjoyed the cruise.  Did she contribute to the “statement” the global-warming glaze-overs constructed over cocktails?

Whitman has been labeled a “homophobe”  by the “other team”, for her support of  Proposition 8 which defined marriage as between men and women only as part of California’s constitution. 

Stick a fork in Nut-Meg Whitman.  She’s done.
