<p>If you ask me who I am, my first response is I am my mothers daughter</p>
<p>These are the words of Meg Whitman straight from her campaign video. Meg is running for Governor of California. She just won the GOP primary and will be facing Jerry Brown, the California Attorney General who is running a campaign based on his frugal ways (in comparison to Megs prodigal spending). Megs campaign is based on her leadership skills, years of being a powerful executive, and cleaning up the mess those politicians have made in Sacramento. Family is also important for Meg, which is why her two sons must be such a disappointment to her. On her campaign site, Meg mentions her Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum sons Will and Griff:</p>
<pre><code>Meg has committed her energy, her trademark optimism and her belief in fiscal restraint to the challenge of rebuilding California. She has done so with the full support of her family, which is her greatest source of pride. Meg and her husband, Griff, a neurosurgeon at Stanford Hospital, have been married for nearly 30 years. Their two sons are now young adults. Meg and her family are ardent outdoor enthusiasts who love hiking, skiing, fly fishing and enjoying all of Californias natural treasures. If we let California fail, we all fail, she says. And we love California too much to let it fail. We have to work together to make it the place of our dreams again.

<p>Cute! Her family is going to help her save California from failing! If only her sons could have figured out how not to fail Princeton, get kicked out of boarding schools, and shroud mommas campaign in the kind of wealthy entitlement we all love to hate. First there was son Griff Harsh V. With such a pretentious, hoity-toity name, can Griffy really be blamed for this alleged quote which Gawker picked up after Griff got suspended from Princeton for a year?</p>
<pre><code>Overheard at Charter [eating club]
Griff Harsh (Meg Whitmans son) throws beer in Guys face.
Guy: You cant do that to people.
Griff Harsh (points at himself): Billionaire.

<p>Then theres Will Harsh I. Gawker, ever the Ivy-obsessives, found this out from a tip:</p>
<pre><code>Griffs non-refundable membership to Cottage [eating club] was paid in full when he got suspended. So some of the officers would let Will attend some meals and formals events in his brothers place until Will got banned from there.
The story goes that Will yelled what are all these ■■■■■■■ doing here one night when all the members of the Black Arts Company where there to celebrate a show they had performed. Cottage is know as one of the whiter clubs on campus so I assume that he was shocked to see so many black people there in a night. He was already on notice with Cottage officers because of an altercation he started with a bouncer early in the year.

<p>Guest-of-a-guest got this equally rumor-based tip about Will:</p>
<pre><code>Hes just a tool. He was banned from at least one eating club for calling a girl a racial slur. He would pride himself on having several girlfriends at one time, and tried unsuccessfully to be a player. He was actually independent (not in an eating club) which I always assumed was because no one wanted him or he was banned. OH and I almost forgot about the time he refused to introduce a girlfriend to his family because she was Jewish, and didnt meet his standards of intellect. He may have thrown in fat, too. I cant remember. Really classy.

<p>Okay. These seem like pretty gossipy rumors, but these stories seem all too indicative of what kind of people Meg Whitmans sons are. And then, pardon our frequent Gawker references, theres this possibility that Meg (who is the fourth richest woman in California) is actually getting campaign donors to pay Tweedle Dee (Griff)s allowance through a mysterious payment to Solamere, a private equity firm that Whitmans campaign has paid close to $96,000 in the past four months. Interesting. Because Griff used to work at Solamere as an analyst according to an old Linkedin profile:</p>
<p>Would it really be that out of character for former eBay CEO, current billionare Meg? Well, there was the time she donated $30 million in her name to help build the new Whitman residential college. Of course, according to Meg, it was all for her love of Princeton and excitement to be able to expand the school by 500 students. Or maybe it was just so she could convince Princeton to admit one student: Griff would be applying to Princeton just two years after donation, just in time to live in freshly built Whitman College. Griff had supposedly been kicked out of boarding schools before getting to Princeton, so a little $30 million nudge from Princeton board member mom probably couldnt have hurt his application.</p>
<p>How will Meg hide her boys from yelling racial slurs or pointing out the obvious fact that theyre richer than most people out there on the campaign trail? Whitmans already getting criticized for unnecessary spending on the campaign trail, but maybe paying them off or buying them a job would do the trick.</p>
