In case you’re on MSNBC’s website wondering what the he** a w—- is, we have an answer.

If you watched Today or headed to MSNBC recently, you’re probably left wondering why Jerry Brown’s taking so much heat for calling California GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman a “w—-”. Perhaps, like us, you clicked on the story to hear the video version – which was of course bleeped beyond all recognition – then sat there for two minutes to conclude he must have called her a “witch”. Right now, being a witch in politics is relatively in fashion, so it kinda makes sense.

So of course Google (and the news outlets with the balls to actually spell the word) saved the day for us. The word Jerry used? Whore.

But of course we’re providing no context here, so perhaps heading to the story might help.

Oh yah, you’ve already watched the report thirty times trying to figure out which bad word starts with ‘w’.
