Meggie Dearest
By Robert Cruickshank
This isn't Meg Whitman's week. Fresh off a poor debate performance, her campaign was rocked by the story of Nicky Diaz Santillan, Whitman's longtime housekeeper who held ariveting press conference yesterday to explain her mistreatment at the hands of Whitman. The most explosive allegation is that Whitman knew about Santillan's immigration status but did nothing about it, even after reportedly being notified by the Social Security Administration that Santillan's SSN did not match the records.
As others have noted, if true this makes Whitman a massive hypocrite - just last night she called for tougher enforcement of immigration laws. And Carly Fiorina, in the video clip at right, has said on two recent occasions that anyone who knowingly employs an undocumented worker should be jailed.
