Meg Whitman Plays Haplessness Card For Hiring Illegal Immigrant, Running Porn Empire

... This wouldn't be the first time the aspiring governor of California entered a plea of haplessness in connection with an issue of hypocritical concern to her conservative constituency.

Unusually for a rising-star Republican, ex-eBay CEO Whitman can be counted as one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs in the area of fetish pornography.

... In January we wrote about discontent among workers at eBay's Salt Lake City-area call center. They didn't enjoy serving customers concerned about the quality of their Strap On Cyberflesh Hollow Extension Dong, or the resolution on their DVD of Blond Cougar from Down the Street Fucks Like a Teen.

One of the Mormon call center employees was so pissed off that he sued, obtaining a deposition from Whitman in which she claimed she was aware of concerns about her porn site. Also deposed was one of Whitman's top underlings, who described his boss' stance in a manner remarkably similar to the way she's dealt with allegations from her ex-housekeeper Nicky Diaz. In both cases, she has claimed the issues at hand were simply beyond her grasp as a manager. In the case of immigration, she apparently didn't know how to find out if an employee's documents were legit. And at eBay, she seems to have run a fetish pornography empire because, well, she didn't know how not to.

2. She didn't know how not to...LOL!

And, may I add, my complaint about my Strap On Cyberflesh Hollow Extension Dong has STILL not been addressed!

Talk about poor customer service!

6. I had no idea that

ebay did fetishes. Meg is a member of the 'family values' party and offers pron???? This isn't going to fly well w/ the fundies who do all the phoning and door-to-door stuff.

Maybe I could sell my worn underwear?! OMG:shrug: :rofl:

11. I stumbled upon the shoe fetish people quite some time ago and

I have to admit, I've been tempted to put my raunchy used slippers up for sale, but I'm afraid there must be something more to these auctions . . . like providing commentary for whatever happens with the dirty slippers. Yuck! Your laundry hamper full of dirty undies could be a treasure trove!:rofl:

4. Well gee whiz

You can't expect the head honcho to actually, you know, know anything about the company. They just pose for the company's annual report, and money falls out of the sky into their pockets. It's not like they do anything, or have any knowledge of their company. But they need to be paid top dollar for their matchless skills which they would otherwise take with them to the internet auction company across the street, and wouldn't eBay be sorry then, boy!

It is astonishing to me how well this sorry excuse works on credulous members of the public.

5. She's become the Leona Helmsley of politics.

"Helmsley's fate was sealed when a former housekeeper testified during the trial that she had heard Helmsley say: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes...," a saying that became notorious and was identified with her for the rest of her life."
