Whitman's husband says 'it is possible' handwriting on letter is his

[DearAbby]

Dr. Griff Harsh, Meg Whitman’s husband, just released a statement saying that it may be his handwriting on a 2003 letter that raised the possibility that their housekeeper was undocumented.



The statement came hours after Whitman held a news conference at which she insisted neither she nor her husband had seen the letter from the Social Security Administration, and suggested that the housekeeper had intercepted it.

The statement in its entirety:

“While I honestly do not recall receiving this letter, as it was sent to me seven years ago, I can say it is possible that I would've scratched a follow up note on a letter like this, which is a request for information to make certain Nicky received her Social Security benefits and W-2 tax refund for withheld wages. Since we believed her to be legal, I would have had no reason to suspect that she would not have filled it in and done what was needed to secure her benefits.

1. LOL. This gets better by the minute.

I haven't seen the document but I doubt the letter was intended for the EMPLOYEE to follow up on the matter.

Dear Mr. Employer,

We think you may be employing illegal aliens. Please give this letter to said employees to "handle".

Signed,

Mr. Government Man

4. No fans in the comment section thus far. One mentioned that Meg hadn't voted

in 25 years -- is that accurate?

And I'm guessing they "learned" of her status when Meg was thinking about running for Gov - throwing out the skeletons before throwing her hat in the ring. Or was another explanation proffered as to the timing of the 'confession'?

5. So, had Meg taken her husband's name, we would be calling her

Meg Harsh, and she probably would not be running for governor with that name.

6. I'm waiting for him to say Meg was hiking the Appalachian Trail

with Mark Sanford and didn't know what was going on.
