McCain Hires Blog Sockpuppet

McCain keeps hiring smart staffers (hat tip Bluejersey).

Jill Hazelbaker, battle tested in New Jersey this year as Tom Kean Jr.'s Communications Director, is headed to John McCain's presidential campaign. She will serve as Communications Director for McCain's campaign in New Hampshire.

Jill Hazelbaker it seems has a little penchant for posting on liberal blogs and lying about it. Bluejersey is the http://www.bluejersey.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2557">site that caught her, and the New York Times had the story:

The Internet postings came from people calling themselves "cleanupnj," "usedtobeblue" and "AmadeusNJ." They said they were concerned Democrats, "lifelong liberals," and they were troubled by the United States senator from New Jersey, Robert Menendez...

But the liberal Democratic hosts of BlueJersey.com, the Web log where such comments were posted, smelled something fishy about the postings, and said they traced them to a computer inside the campaign headquarters of Mr. Menendez's Republican opponent, Thomas H. Kean Jr.

1. One phony friggin' liar hiring another. I see no problem with that.

Everyone knows from the get go that the whole operation is full of phony liars. Saves a lot of time busting them every time they post something.

You know, Al Gore too fat to be prez and so on.
