Republican gubernatorial candidate, Meg Whitman received an apology from the campaign of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown on Thursday after the Los Angeles Times released a voice-mail message in which Whitman is called a “whore” by what appears to be the voice of a female. The voicemail recorded a conversation between Brown and his aides, after he believed he had hung up the telephone. The voicemail function, however, picked up and began recording, claimed The San Jose Mercury News. The recording was captured in early September in a call for support Brown made to a Los Angeles police union. Brown’s anxiety can be heard on the recording, as he worries about losing the union’s endorsement given his stance on public employee pensions, reported The New York Times. The apology was issued by Steven Glazer, Brown’s campaign manager, who acknowledges having used at times "salty" language, reported The New York Times.
