Allred all Hollywood!
(phony!)
OMG!
Whenever there is a controversial scandal on the nightly news - and there is a gold-digging damsel in distress at the heart of it - Gloria Allred (top pit bull of this or any other Century) is tossing on her girdle and squeezing her tarted-up self into a tacky K-mart special - and hustling down to a press conference to sashay into the spotlight, extract her ounce of flesh, and snatch up her cut of the pimp action.
A case in point?
The Meg Whitman potboiler spilling ink in sensatonal headlines running rampant in dailies all over the country.
If Ms. Allred (and I use the term Miss loosely) was so keen on Justice and fighting for immigrant rights, why did she wait until the 11th hour to take action?
Because her crusade is transparent and politically-motivated.
To quote a Beatle's lyric:
"I'm looking through you. Where did you go?"
Ms. Allred is a Jerry Brown supporter.
'Ya got it.
Meg Whitman has been giving Brown a run-for-his-money is a knock-down drag-'em-out-fight in a hotly-contested race for Governor.
It is also a matter of record that Allred has donated funds to the democratic machine in recent years.
In a moment of high-stakes drama, Allred boldly alleged that Whitman - not only knowingly hired an illegal alien - but enaged in a conspiracy to enslave and exploit a lowly immigrant worker in the process.
For effect - she trotted out the innocent lamb - replete with crocodile tears and wringing-hands.
It should have been obvious to any fool with an ounce of intelligence or insight, that Ms. Allred's alleged victim, was coached prior to the eve of her starring performance in front of the paparazzi and a frenzied media.
Shameless!
Through her legal mouthpiece, Diaz accused Whitman of hiring her on - in spite of her illegal status - with the specific aim of capitalizing on her good nature (and likewise) taking advantage of the fact she was caught between a rock-and-a-hard-place somewhere between the Mansion on-on-the hill and the heavily-guarded border to the south.
In response, Whitman recalled a scenario that was so much more believable than Diaz's tawdry soap-opera tale!
With a "cool" head - she noted in no uncertain terms - that the housekeeper-cum-nanny's documents - were checked in advance of employment to determine her legal status.
Later, when the Social Security Administration informed her that Diaz was using a fake identity, she summarily fired the day worker after citing specific grounds for the dismissal.
In defense, accusing fingers continued to point in Whitman's direction, to save face.
"She should have known the maid was illegal."
Not necessarily.
Here is where the dilemma may have arisen for Meg Whitman.
If she didn't accept the documents at face value, folks like Allred may have accused her of assuming the young woman was illegal, because of the color of her skin and due to the fact she hailed from Mexico.
Discrimination!
Just because an individual is Latino, doesn't mean they are an illegal, after all.
Curiously, Ms. Allred appeared on Mark Levin's talk show on the radio, tonight.
Levin, a veteran of the Reagan Justice Department and President of the Landmark Legal Foundation, quizzed Ms. Allred about a few of the key issues.
In particular, he asked her why she willingly exposed her client to legal jeopardy.
Diaz is an illegal immigrant, after all, who may have committed Social Security fraud (which is a federal felony).
Levin also dogged Allred about the origins of the legal fees that afforded representation.
"Was Diaz a pro bono case," he pointedly asked.
Allred, normally-forthcoming with her answers, refused to comment.
Meanwhile, Whitman's team came out of their corner of the ring, punching.
They outright accused that Gloria Allred has been working with Democratic nominee Jerry Brown to publicly embarrass and discredit Whitman.
"We love having Gloria Allred as a foil because people know she's everything they hate about the legal system," Mike Murphy, an adviser to Whitman, chortled to members of the press earlier today.
Although Gloria Allred denied she was working with Brown's campaign per se, I expect, that the once-formidable attorney has finally gotten her tit caught in a wringer.
News at 11!
Poppycock!
