Gloria Allred should be disbarred
Media hound Gloria Allred should be disbarred.
Representing an illegal immigrant who is a former housekeeper of Meg Whitman, who just happens to be running for Governor of California, Ms. Allred has taken to the airwaves in a blatant, if not illegal attempt to tar Meg Whitman with the label of liar just ahead of the California gubernatorial election.
Ms. Allred appeared with her client Nicky Diaz Santillan on national television yesterday to show what a big meanie Meg Whitman is. With tears dripping down her cheeks and a quavering voice, Santillan detailed how (Republican) Meg Whitman abused her. She was actually forced to drive a car and allegedly Whitman refused to pay her overtime.
Allred actually referred to her client as a modern day Rosa Parks - willing to risk deportation in order to expose the various injustices perpetrated upon her. "Americans appreciate the huge risks she is taking" Allred said. Huh?
Gloria Allred has informed the nation that her client has entered this country illegally and has used a stolen social security number in order to obtain employment. In essence, Gloria Allred has exposed her client to deportation and/or jail time. Other illegal immigrants who have gone public for various reasons have eventually ended up deported.
No amount of spin can gloss over the legal jeopardy Allred has exposed her client to. And no amount of ginned up indignation can obscure the fact that Allred has sacrificed her client for her own agenda.
Allred has manufactured a reputation of being a 'woman's advocate.' She envisions herself as a protector of all women against the patriarchal system of old white men. Her reputation is a direct result of accepting only those cases which will guarantee her publicity. No matter how frivolous. I know this from personal knowledge, having done business with Allred's firm.
Lost in the shuffle of bright lights and national face time is one inconvenient fact. As a lawyer, Gloria Allred is legally obligated to put her client's interest ahead of her own. This she has not done.
In her quest for yet another 15 minutes of fame, Allred has thrown her client under the bus. That is both illegal and unethical. And shameful.
Author and legal expert Mark Levin questioned Allred yesterday on his radio show. Allred was unwilling to answer the most basic questions regarding the case, trying instead to rebut Levin with emotion instead of facts. She got smacked down, big time.
Unlike the liberal media, Mark Levin was not swayed by Allred's blatant attempt to turn her client into a cause celebre. Instead, Allred's points were totally demolished. And she was exposed for what she is - an ageing progressive lawyer trying to reaffirm her ill-gotten reputation by using her own client to smear a conservative candidate. For shame.
This case is not about Gloria's client. It is about legal ethics and Allred's huge ego. By willingly placing a client in legal jeopardy in order to further her own political agenda, Gloria has broken the law. She should be disbarred. Immediately.

It's becoming more and more apparent that this whole sad episode was little more than a game of political gains. Not only should Allred be investigated, but should any link between her and the Brown campaign be found the link should be investigated for potential campaign law violations. It's a shame this is going on in California, if it were going on in Arizona there might be a politician or two with backbone enough to ask the tough questions and demand the answers under penalty of perjury.

We can all agree that Ms. Allred is a "media hound," having stated this, for the wage of $23/hour one should be able to hire the best maid in California, not an illegal alien.
Ms. Whitman is accused of paying the "nanny" or "housekeeper" for 15.0 hrs / week at $23.00 but having the employee work 8.0 hrs or more each day.
$23 x 15hrs = $345 ÷ 40hrs per week = $8.65 /hr
That is a bait and switch tactic by a well-known billionaire. Really? $8.65/hr is just .65¢ above California's minimum wage.
Having Ms. Whitman brag that she spent so much money per hour on a "nanny" or "housekeeper" isn't so much money now that the fuzzy math has been done has been revealed.

I will also add that Ms. Whitman is no conservative - Republican yes, conservative, no.
California doesn't have a good choice for governor in November. California state is pretty much up a river without a paddle, or captain.
If an outsider like Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't tame the state, why does Meg Whitman buying the governorship think that she's any different than Arnold? Is Meg Whitman really delusional enough to think that she can command a Democratic legislature to do as she says when a non-confrontational movie-star couldn't?

I had the chance to listen to Levin's interview with Ms. Allred and I could almost empathize with feelings of ignorance, frustration and shame that Ms. Allred seemed to be completely oblivious to - almost.
This woman is a textbook case of standard Liberal Political thinker, incapable of recognizing their own narcissistic tendencies while taking some apocryphal stance of concern in championing the plight of some downtrodden - in this case an employed illegal who committed fraud - 'victim'.
Society has become brainwashed into thinking that the 'Land of the Free' is about protecting an impoverished minority by giving them shi...stuff. Most seem to forget that this country was founded on the principle of...
Liberty-1. the power of choosing, thinking, and acting for oneself; freedom from control or restriction (fm World English dictionary)
Now I take this to mean freedom TO accomplish according to my ability and the freedom FROM outside interference.
"Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations." --George Washington
