Noted Republican, Silicon Valley resident, and gay-marriage hater Meg Whitman is all set to take over Sacramento, at least according to an AP article. "The person was not authorized to talk publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity," the article boasts, going on to say, "He [the secret source] said the 52-year-old Republican hopes to succeed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2011 but is not ready to make a formal announcement." So, we guess, she's officially throwing her can of Aqua Net in the ring.

In addition to serving as a national co-chair of John McCain's disastrous presidential bid, Whitman just stepped down from the boards of eBay, Procter & Gamble Co. and DreamWorks SKG last week. She is also a monstrous homophobe who should not -- and will not -- run the state of California. (In her defense, she does look like an aging Real Housewife of Orange County, so, you know, she has that going for her.)
