Greta Van Susteren Beats the Stuffing out of Gloria Allred

Jerry Brown's stunt is unraveling. Before we get to the good stuff, here's what the immigration bar has to say about receiving a Social Security no-match letter:

[H]ad she gone ahead and fired Nicandra Diaz Santillan based on such a letter, she would have exposed herself to potential anti-discrimination violations, lawyers said.

Liao added that it is "very important that the employer does not take adverse action against the employee" merely based on a letter from Social Security.

"Not only is (accepting the documents) all the law required her to do, but there's a counterbalancing anti-discrimination law that keeps her from probing further or demanding different documents," said Crystal Williams, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association in Washington.

Social Security records are riddled with errors, especially on female Hispanic and Asian names that follow a different order from English names, or are changed after a marriage or divorce.

"There are a lot of reasons other than immigration status that a Social Security number could be wrong," Williams said.

Once Diaz announced that she was in the country illegally, it was Whitman's legal obligation to fire her, attorneys said.

In other words, Whitman did exactly the right thing.

Now, the good stuff. As MrScribbler put it in comments:

I've endured years of Greta's weird face and horrifyingly raspy voice for years in order to get the Big Payoff last night. She has redeemed herself after all those All-Van-Der-Sloot-All-the-Time shows.

Ouch.
