We Californians need to hang a nickname on Meg Whitman.
Hag Witless is my suggestion. Yes, it is a tad sexist, but that just means the media will take it and run with it. I am open to other suggestions, though.

2. That certainly is appropriate.
Why the eye-rolling though?

6. AH. Now I understand.
Point taken.

I thought you were rolling your eyes at me (I'm a bit sensitive today).

And I can't even look at her, much less with a straight face.

At least with Whitman I don't throw stuff at my tv like I do with Fiorina, though.

3. Well, back when she was running Ebay
they (her puter engineers) had problems with the site which was down for about 3 straight days causing the stocks to plummit. I can tell you what those who purchased stocks in the company called her during this time........."MegWhore"

11. That's what I call her
"Buy it Now Meg."

That's what she's trying to do, buy the governorship with all her millions.

7. Call her 'the Sampler"
She's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get.

16. There's a guy on MSNBC that said about her....
He said something like "she has spent millions of dollars ... I don't understand it considering Cailfornia is broke.." I couldn't catch it all because I was just waking up from nap.

I vote for Miss "Buy it Now" EHag :)

18. I would settle for
"failed gubernatorial candidate"

She has spent $70 million of her own money so far trying to get elected. That doesn't make any sense. California, thanks to it's idiotic law-making and budgeting process (thanks to the tax-o-phobes) is ungovernable. Being governor is a constant hassle and a thankless job.

The only reason I can think of that Megabucks would want to be governor is that she has her eye on the White House and figures that if it worked for Reagan it would work for her.
