GOP Senator's Top Staffer Busted Posting Comments Under Fake Name On Liberal Blog

TPM

This is fun: A campaign staffer for a leading GOP Senator has been busted posting fake posts on liberal blogs under an alias.

Burnt Orange Report, the premier state-level liberal blog in Texas, has discovered that commenter "Buck Smith" -- who claimed in the site's comments to be a liberal and who was critical of Texas Democrats and their candidates -- was in fact none other than David Beckwith, a top Texas Republican operative who works for GOP Sen. John Cornyn.

What makes this story funny is the way this joker managed to get himself caught.

Beckwith, who served as the top spokesman for Cornyn's 2002 campaign and is on board again this year, gave the same e-mail address at BOR as he did at a Web page for his high school class. Oops..............
