Meg Whitman is a complete disaster

Oh my.  I knew that Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman had issues, but now I am completely aghast, having read an interview with her in the L.A. Times.  She contradicts herself at every turn and appears to be borderline incoherent.  Here are a few lowlights:

• She says she does not want to raise taxes on anyone, but her hero is the tax-raiser Pete Wilson.  And Whitman wants to pay higher salaries for math and science teachers, while cutting corporate income taxes further.  How is she going to do that and deliver a balanced budget?
• She says she would not have supported Prop. 187 but then she says that schools, hospitals and law enforcement agencies should have to report undocumented immigrants to federal authorities.
• She calls herself a lifelong Republican, but she did not register with the GOP until 2007.  She was a decline to state voter originally.
• Whitman called herself a champion of the environment, but then she said she didn’t like California’s efforts against global warming.  I agree that Governor Schwarzenegger’s anti global warming measures have been hurtful to California businesses, but why would Whitman call herself a “champion of the environment” in the first place when she clearly isn’t?
• She said she supported the recall of former Governor Gray Davis – but she did not vote in that election.
• She says that it is about time for a governor who has created jobs – but she also favors doubling the amount of furloughs of state employees that Governor Schwarzenegger has proposed.

What a mess!  Honestly this lady is NOT ready for prime time…
