California Gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman, the self-styled business Republican who has run on a platform that derides out-of-control government spending, is well on her way to winning the Republican nomination, and it only cost her $81 million so far with $71 million coming straight from her very own bank account. She will then go on to face Jerry Brown which will probably cost her another $80 million.

So let me get this straight, Meg Whitman has shattered spending records in California to prove that California spends too much?

Oh now I get it. Whitman is the Paris Hilton of politics. They’ve both spent a ridiculous amount of money on building their own fame! They’re both famous, connected to global corporate empires and know absolutely nothing about government.

Even worse, she spent $71 million of her own money to have what is probably the worst job in the country. California is ungovernable, thanks to a ridiculous rule in the Constitution that requires a two-thirds super-majority to approve a budget.
So no matter who wins the governorship, it’s a certainty that they will face a brick wall of opposition.

Democrats …
