A Fool and Her Money are Soon Parted

Edmund G. Brown opens up a 5-point lead on Meg Whitman in the CA governor's race. I really hope good ol' Jerry Brown pulls this one off, because Meg Whitman is, quite simply, the worst kind of under-qualified, self-absorbed, narcissistic candidate we've seen since the original Empty Suit, Michael Huffington. Remember him? Whitman, rich beyond anyone's wildest dreams, woke up one day thinking, "Yeah, that's it, I'll run for governor." And off she went. There is absolutely no reason -- other than the 119 million of them she's already spent to date -- that she is qualified to be governor of California.
