Democrat Jerry Brown, endorsed by Bill Clinton, launches blistering new attacks on "Pinocchio" Meg Whitman (VIDEO)
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown, who was just endorsed by former president Bill Clinton, has launched two blistering new TV ads lambasting Republican Meg Whitman as a "Pinocchio" attempting to "buy California."
"I strongly support Jerry Brown for governor because I believe he was a fine mayor of Oakland, he's been a very good attorney general, and he would be an excellent governor at a time when California needs his creativity and fiscal prudence," the former president said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times today.
"We're very pleased to have the former president's endorsement,'' Brown spokesman Sterling Clifford told us minutes ago.
Now to the ads: "Meg Whitman's nose keeps growing,'' says the announcer in one spot. "Whitman says California lost jobs under Jerry Brown. Turns out 1.9 million jobs were created."

Brown For Governor Campaign 14 September 2010
SACRAMENTO - Following another onslaught of lies, misinformation and deception by Meg Whitman, Attorney General Jerry Brown today unveiled two new television ads to set the record straight on his history of job creation and tax reduction as California's governor.
"Early on, Meg Whitman's army of highly paid consultants and handlers made the decision the only way they can win is to put her opponents through the wood chipper, truth be damned," said Brown Campaign Manager Steve Glazer. "We won't be pushed around."
The ads, which will run statewide, use animation to highlight the most recent in a series of distortions the Whitman campaign has made about Jerry Brown's record. The ads also present the facts - that when Brown was governor, he cut taxes by $4 billion and California created 1.9 million new jobs.
Whitman began advertising in the general election three days after the primary, with close to two-thirds of them negative ads attacking Brown.
