"SARAH PALIN WITHOUT THE BRAINS": "GROUP CHALLENGES WHITMAN AND POIZNER TO FACE THE PRESS AT GOP CONVENTION

The independent expenditure group, Level the Playing Field 2010, today challenged GOP gubernatorial candidates Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner, to hold press conferences at the GOP convention. Here's the statement spokesperson Sean Clegg issued this morning.
 
“Yesterday, at her own ’press conference‘ CEO Meg Whitman unceremoniously ejected reporters when they began to ask her questions about Level The Playing Field's recently launched Wikimeg.com website.  Not only did CEO Whitman banish the fourth estate out of an ‘open press‘ event that she herself invited the press to attend -- Whitman put up a literal wall separating herself from ‘the people‘ while falsely blaming the host of the event.
 
“Queen Meg, who over the last fifteen days, has made clear that she is Sarah Palin without the brains, needs to apologize for trying to wall off the People of California while refusing to take questions from the press, release her tax returns or talk to actual voters.
 
“With the Republican Convention looming this weekend - Level The Playing Field challenges both Queen Whitman and Steve Poizner to hold a press conferences with real reporters at the Convention in order to answer basic questions about their plans - or lack thereof - for California.
 
“So goes the old saying:  Politics is not beanbag, and taking tough questions from reporters is a basic part of the job of being governor.”
