Yesterday askew posted a diary that said

It turns out Marcy Kaptur's opponent, Rich Iott, likes to spend weekends re-enacting World War II as a Nazi. The teabagger-backed Iott is part of the Wiking Group which re-enacts WWII as the 5th SS.

This diary is an expanded version of a comment I made there.

There was and is a continuing response to this diary, most comments saying that this loon's hobby disqualifies him for public office. I happen to think that Marcy Kaptur is a better candidate, but that's not why I'm here today. Here's my question: where do we draw the line? At what point is someone's personal life a dis-qualifier for public office? At what point is someone's hobbies, religion, sexual orientation, eating habits, high school prom picture so heinous that you absolutely could not vote for them?

Gloria Allred is doing a live presser that starts any minute now. It's on at TMZ. Supposedly, Gloria will be presenting her evidence that Meg had to have known that Meg must have known that Nicky was undocumented.

Earlier today, Meg Whitman did a damage control presser that said that Nicky was "being manipulated".

Whitman acknowledges former housekeeper Nicky Diaz Santillan confessed after 9 years she falsified documents. Whitman says she was "shocked" and had not choice but to fire her for lying and breaking the law.

Whitman says Jerry Brown should be "ashamed of what his allies are trying to do here."

Whitman says her housekeeper is being used by "cynical people around her" -- i.e., Gloria Allred.

~~This is happening~~ live: Gloria Allred is having a presser with Meg Whitman's undocumented, fired housekeeper.

Apparently, there are tax issues, abuse issues and Gloria Allred, who is no friend of Jerry Brown. It must be serious, because the Whitman campaign apparently started off the day by dissing Gloria.

This is a serious popcorn moment, more details to follow.
