Gloria Allred is a great friend to the Broadcasting business.
bubba
where would the broadcasting industry be without her? She nailed Scott
Peterson..remember amber Fry? nailed Tiger Woods..He wasn't a great
moral icon, after all. Her concern for Michael Jackson's
behavior..while over the top.fueled many a riveting broadcast. She's
not intimidated by people criticizing her appearance..She's waaaaaay
smarter than that..And for those of us who have an interest or
practice in employment law...her law firm in Los Angeles is top
rate..helping thousands of non-celebrity workers win their rights and
benefits from recalcitrant employers..check out the lawfirm website.
I'd refer my clients who need a good employment law firm in Los
Angeles ...in a heartbeat...and Allred would honor that referral
without hesitation.

Yes, and she was quite a hit at KABC. Her bumper theme
was "Gloria," a 60s/70s song I'd totally forgotten.

As entertainment, she's a great adjunct to the fluff pieces that are an
inevitable part of the media news. I have long since learned to take
anything she has to say with a grain of salt.
But it IS amusing.

What is simply amazing is how easily she got Meg Whitman to walk into
her well planned trap.
First with one step, Gloria then pulling the lever, and Whitman
stepping in with the other foot... snagged.
Was she the ONLY one in the state who didn't see it coming?
Seeing that happen yesterday and then hearing from a Whitman
spokesperson on the Gil Gross show, indicates the Whitman campaign is
run by innocents..
Did you happen to hear the Whitman spokeswoman on Gil's show?
I came in while it was underway and couldn't figure out why Gil was
keeping this silly person on the line. Slowly I began to wonder if
this person was from Whitman's campaign. Sure enough at the end Gil
thanked her and gave her title..
She was a terrible representative. Sounded like some college kid who
wasn't briefed with a well thought out response.
Red meat for the likes of Gloria Allred.
All in all, great theater. More to come.

What was the total amount of the suit? $75? Obviously, this was, as Meg
put it, a post-debate smoke bomb. The media was alerted by Gloria (or an
operative) to watch for this two weeks ago. Timing is everything.
You know, I don't think I'll sit out the governor's race after all. I'm
voting for Meg.

Her campaign staff may be clueless, but it's likely that Whitman never
told them about that letter so they were unprepared for the trap that
was being set. They figured that a crying maid represented by a
celebrity lawyer would be easy to discredit, and never stopped to think
'does this lawyer have something more than this?'

I'd vote for Meg if she had the power to hire and fire the
Legislature. But given our current form of government, we need someone
with experience herding cats.

I've lived through two terms of JB as governor. I'll take someone who is
completely ineffective over a rerun of that.

That's good. I was beginning to think Meg Whitman
wouldn't get a single vote for her $120 million. But
thanks to your courage, she won't suffer a total
rout.

I think you are missing the point of Ms. Allred's career. She is giant
in the history of equal rights. She is not just the person you see on
TV. She has had a substantial career. Nearly every woman owes a little
to Ms. Allred.
Phil
bubba
Phil..I know Gloria and have known and admired her for many, many
years. I'm a lawyer (Farrell,Fraulob& Brown here in
Sacramento...employment law, worker's compensation and disability
law)who happens to have been a tv anchor who brought one of the
biggest discrimination in employment lawsuits in American history..You
could say we have a mutually appreciative connection..I refer clients
who need employment plaintiff's lawyers in Los Angeles...because she
is a fighter, a champion for workers and women, and a winner.
bubba

and one more thing...the only reason this topic belongs in ba
broadcast ....is not the equal rights accolades deserved by Gloria
Allred...it's the media impact..thus I posted the original comments
which included praise for her employment law practice..one of the most
reputable in the country.
Concrete Bob
Industry. She needs her own reality show. I see a reality show where
she and the football-headed illegal immigrant she is currently
representing/exploiting go down to Mexico and attempt to dismantle the
Mexican Federal Government.
We'll call the show "Viva La Revolucion!" In tonight's episode Gloria
attempts to bargain a Juarez Street Merchant for a pair of Panty Hose
and barely misses a hail of shotgun fire from a local drug cartel.
She then goes back to her hotel to relax with a Manhattan and consoles
with Seniorita Cabeza de la Futbol.
"Wow, those cartels certainly need some Cultural Sensitivity
Training....Who can we sue to fund their training?"
I can't stand Meg Whitman, but I am certainly not voting for Jerry
Brown. I remember his eight years of damage over California like it
was yesterday. Public employees need to remember how he fired 20,000
Caltrans employees. Commuters need to remember the public sculptures
at 101/680/280 that did not get finished until he left office.
Jerry was amusing as a Governor, but he was not effective. I somehow
don't think he ever grew up.
Gloria Allred is better for cheesy cable reality than she is for local
television or radio broadcasting, She's the ultimate Neo-Springer.
She's the Anna Nicole of our time.
bubba
well Gloria is certainly bigger than life on tv. and gets your
attention..but you need to check out her website www.amglaw.com.....for
her distinguished work as an advocate for everyday
non-celebrity workers and civil rights plaintiffs. Real,difficult
litigation..not easy....she kicks ass and has for years.
bubba
I hadn't realized that Anna Nicole was not of 'our time"..or that she
was the named partner in a highly regarded law firm...or that Gloria
Allred had breast implants and was a drug addict.

So did I. I was not enamored of him in those days, either. But Meg
is more than "completely ineffective", she is downright scary.
I no longer vote in California so I really don't have a dog in that
fight EXCEPT that my son-in-law feeds his family as an attorney for
CalTrans and does a damn good job of saving the state a lot of money
in settlements.
'Nuff Said.

Of course she wouldn't, at least not outright. It's more business for her.

Don't care one way or the other since it doesn't pertain to broadcasting.
My comments were solely about her ability to run with the circus and the
fact that as a competent lawyer she's not going to initially turn down
more business.

Yes, but most what's posted about broadcasting on this
news group pertains to only one broadcast station. You kids should
have your own bedroom on Facebook and a big sign on the door
that says "Gwownups stay out!!" You won't be in bad
company. Prize winning scientists collaborate there,
too.
Meanwhile, here's something that was advertised on KGO
before Luckoff's time. It played at RKO cinemas in big
cities across the country. Opened in NY and L.A. Story's
set in Paris, but there's not much Paris in the making
of it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

In the 1950s and 60s, this woman was a conservative
Republican much involved in California politics and still
something of a cutie.

of course not Dave..you are perhaps a little obtuse.. your argument is
that Gloria Allred 'RAN WITH THE CIRCUS"...looks like she led
it...three of the biggest stories of the decade..I think.

With all the money Whitman has been spending on broadcast media it's
amazing that she's hired such an incompetent campaign staff. She told
them about the housekeeper last year. How could they have not
pro-actively done something? Did they not realize that it was virtually
_certain_ to come up? Did the Whitman campaign actually believe that
they could suppress this story?
And why is Whitman so concerned about the Latino vote? Even the best
Republican could not expect to get much Latino support. It's
independents that she should have been going after. Centrist Democrats
would have been another potential source of votes for Whitman. We all
know she ran way to the right during the primary because that's what
Republicans have to do, but that she's not really a right wing Republican.
Now she's getting advice that she needs to attack someone or some group
to change the momentum of the campaign, but it's getting late. Absentee
ballots are already in the hands of many voters.
Here are some suggestions for issues for Whitman.
-Jerry Brown and Linda Rondstadt first met in a Mexican restaurant;
Nicky Diaz is Mexican.
-Jerry Brown is Catholic. The pope is Catholic. Both oppose the death
penalty.
-Willie Brown is black and had a child out of wedlock with a white
woman; Jerry Brown has the same last name as Willie Brown.
-Jerry Brown's 1974 Plymouth Satellite used leaded gasoline.
-Jerry Brown considered Jesse Jackson as a vice-presidential running mate.
-Jerry Brown is the reason that I5 is only two lanes in many areas.

well yes,Dave. We lawyers are such scoundrels..We get paid for what
we do... .
Dave Turner
Then everybody who does business is a scoundrel by proxy with that
argument. Your argument that she's going take every referral without
hesitation is amazing. As a competent business person she's going to
weigh and measure each case and take the ones that are solid - my
original point. She's more than likely not going to throw one out before
looking at it and that makes her a scoundrel? Your attempt at sarcasm
not withstanding of course...
The whole point is merely that you were trying to fan her merits as a
lawyer in a broadcast newsgroup. If you want to fan her merits on her
handling or mishandling of the attempted media circus surrounding this,
then fine. If you want to praise her work as a lawyer then this is the
wrong place unless she's defending a broadcaster.
Dave Turner
No, the clouds around your thinking are perhaps obtuse. She ran with all
those circuses, she didn't create them.
