Whitman for Governor?
Here's how Huffington Post's Chris Kelly greets the news that Meg Whitman is angling to run for governor of California:
"A couple of years ago, someone was trying to sell Vietnamese women on eBay. The auction went on for three days before eBay closed it down. EBay policy strictly forbids the sale or purchase of humans, living or dead. (Sorry, Owners of Ted William's head.) But you can see where the slave trader had gotten the wrong impression. The CEO of eBay, Meg Whitman, had built a career on one job after another exploiting Asian women, the younger and more vulnerable the better."
So he's not a Meg fan, eh?
Kelly points to Whitman's record as an exec at Hasbro, Stride Rite, Disney and eBay, asserting success at each stop hinged on abuse of child labor in Asia to crank out products -- toys, sneakers, books and so on.
