California needs a political 'Gong Show'
John Seiler: Oct. 4, 2010 Remember the old “Gong Show“? People would display some talent, such as singing or playing an instrument. Judges then would decide if the person had any competence. For the incompetent ones, a large gong was
Read MoreMeg's amateurish response
John Seiler: As I’ve been writing, despite spending more than $120 million (so far), Meg Whitman’s campaign is amateurish. The Nannygate scandal shows that. When the scandal broke, what she should have said was, “I’ve been saying all along that

Read MoreMeg disses Poizner
John Seiler: Amateur Meg just keeps making mistake after mistake after mistake. Her latest: Attacking primary opponent Steve Poizner about putting employees on unpaid leave at his department. As Poizner quipped, she apparently hadn’t heard that she already had beaten
Read MoreMeg crashes on John & Ken
John Seiler: I heard Meg Whitman’s half-hour today on John & Ken’s radio show. While it was going on, this thought ran through my mind: “How did this woman earn $1.4 billion?” She was hesitant and unable to come up

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
John Seiler: I’d rather have Jerry Springer as governor than Jerry Brown. For one thing, it would get the ex-Cincinnati mayor’s show off daytime TV when kids watch it. But, due to Meg’s amateurish campaign, it looks like we’ll be
