"After 9 years of faithful service, Nicky came to us in June 2009 and confessed that she was an illegal worker." Whitman continues, "Nicky has falsified the hiring documents and personal information she provided to the employment agency that brought her to us in 2000." And, Whitman continues, "I believe Nicky is being manipulated by Gloria Allred for political and financial purposes during the last few weeks of a hotly contested election." Whitman concludes, "This is a shameful example of the politics of personal destruction practiced by people like Jerry Brown and Gloria Allred. The charges are without merit." www.tmz.com/2010/09/29/meg-whitman-housekeeper-allegations-gloria-allred-california-governor/ |

What I'm hearing is that even many Democrats don't like it.
Viewer response on a local (left-leaning) TV station was running about 4-1 against Allred and the maid.
It's transparent as hell and seems like an act of desperation even though Brown was slightly ahead in the polls when it broke.
The notion that there was no collusion here is absurd on its face.
An ethical attorney acting in the interests of her client would have approache Whitman off-line and said "Here's what we've got. Let's make a deal."
The SOLE purpose of this is to inflence the outcome of the election.
No doubt about it.

Whitman now says she'll take a polygraph if necessary.Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman, under fire for employing an undocumented housekeeper, repeated her assertion Thursday that she fired the woman as soon as she learned about her immigration status and said she would take a polygraph test to prove it. "If it comes to that, absolutely," she told dozens of journalists at a hastily called press conference at a hotel in Santa Monica. "Absolutely, because we were stunned." Whitman's nine-year employment of Nicandra Diaz Santillan became an issue Wednesday when the woman, along with her attorney, Gloria Allred, held a press conference alleging that Whitman knew for many years that Diaz Santillan was in the country illegally and only fired her in June 2009 because Whitman was running for governor and the housekeeper had become a political liability. Whitman said allegations that she knew about the housekeeper's status and fired her because she was running for governor are undercut by the timing -– Whitman announced she was running in February 2009 and fired Diaz Santillan in June of that year. www.latimes.com/news/la-whitmanreax30-m,0,7710094.story
