Whitman's former nanny believes housekeeper

Jill Armstrong says she has good reason to accept Mexican housekeeper Nicandra Diaz Santillan's tale of working in the household of GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman - because Armstrong herself was a domestic for the former eBay CEO.

... Armstrong, who worked for Whitman and her husband, Griff Harsh, during the summer of 1998, produced the W-2 form from that year, which reflects her stint as a full-time nanny for Whitman. Her hiring was confirmed by Palo Alto-based Town and Country Resources, the employment agency that placed Diaz with Whitman two years later.

... After two months, Armstrong said, "I called her up and said, 'Meg, I quit. I can't handle it anymore.' "

Her biggest problem, she said, came months later when she was ready to file her taxes but hadn't received a tax form from Whitman. She called her former employer to say, "Meg, you did not give me a W-2."

Armstrong heard nothing and "had to threaten to take her to the IRS" before Whitman's accountant called back and said, "Give me the numbers; give me the hours," she recalled.

1. The subtext of all of this

is that Nutmeg just didn't have time to be bothered with issues involving "the help." They were necessary in her life but not worth a passing concern.

Screw Nutmeg.

2. Rather they weren't paying payroll taxes for their

employees, unless they were questioned by the employee, which means they didn't even report employment...

3. NutMeg runs on a short fuse...

This woman is so full of anger and hate.

No who I want runn'n my state!

5. Youch.

That's not gonna help.

Whitman's accountant called back and said, "Give me the numbers; give me the hours,"...

10. And I would have told him to call my employer.

It's not MY job to do yours, pal.

[bleever]

12. The accountant pleaded with her,

"Look, will you work with me?"

In the end, what they came up with is that her pay for two months of work was exactly $5200.00.

No fudging there, right?

6. This story is great follow up to the undocumented worker

I live in CA and do NOT want this woman as my governor. The state has enough problems without her creating more.

[zonkers]

13. Selfish, sloppy. A disorderly mind. A mercurial temper. Besides her dough, she has squat.

Keep her away from office, please, CA.

7. So what is California going to do?

Their track record is just as stupid as it is brilliant,

8. Brown will win

He's ahead and gaining in the polls. He's wiped the floor with Whitman in two debates. She's been hoisted on her own petard.

[mackerel]

9. Brown was brilliant in Fresno.

11. She had a nanny? She was so busy mothering that she couln't take time to vote!

Why couldn't she give the future violent felons to the nanny for 10 minutes while she voted?

I wonder when was the last time she told the truth.

[IcyPeas]

14. Doctor J --- good one

she's been saying she never voted coz she was too "busy".

thanks for pointing out yet another lie

wish the MSM would put 2+2 together like this.

or better yet, the Brown campaign should put this in the next TV ad.
