Is Ernie Really "Ellie Light" ??

[392cobra]

I think the Real Ellie Light is CC's Ernie.


A mystery writer who goes under the name "Ellie Light" has had her -- or his -- letter to the editor defending President Obama published in newspapers across the country -- but is someone pulling a fast one?

A mystery writer who goes under the name "Ellie Light" has had her letter to the editor defending President Obama published in newspapers across the country -- but is someone pulling a fast one?

The prolific writer's piece has appeared in more than 70 newspapers in the last three weeks. However, Light has claimed to live in dozens of different cities ranging from Long Beach, Calif., to Huntsville, Ala. -- depending on which newspaper he or she was writing for -- fueling speculation that the letter was an inside job.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer was the first to report on the Ellie Light phenomenon. The newspaper claimed to have received the letter Jan. 16 -- it did not list a hometown, and the newspaper did not publish it.

But dozens of newspapers did.

The Web site Patterico's Pontifications, which has compiled a comprehensive list of Ellie Light appearances, found the letter so far has shown up in 68 newspapers across 31 states and the District of Columbia. Three national publications -- Politico, The Washington Times and USA Today -- also ran the letter, as did two foreign publications.

As mrmustang might say, "Da bunnies know."

Nah, Ernie's too smart to defend a bonehead like Obama. Surely he'd be slick enough to see that Obama's approval is going down like a busted shock...

...going down like a busted shock

It's interesting when you compare Reagans numbers to Obamas numbers at the same time when they were in office. Obama is actually doing slightly better!

As I watched this story on the news last night I thought the same thing...

Yeah, true, and you keep reminding us of this. But based on statistics alone, every baseball team (that has been around since the beginning) should have won the World Series by now.

And has replaceable parts too. She's nearly a "Frame Off," restoration.

"Ellie Light" has shown up with pointlessly irrelevant comments in two other forums I follow. It's really a little tedious to have an oh-so-klever "comment" inserted in every single thread, and I do wish Ellie a truly painful case of arthritis in her fingers... or several good whacks with a hammer there, whichever comes first.

Sure looking forward to the powerful State of the Union address coming soon, aren't you?

Obama's gonna rock the Nation! Popcorn ready, wine chilling in the 'fridge (beer for you red necks), it's gonna be great.

[Ron61]

wine chilling in the 'fridge

Wow, you have wine and a fridge. Does Obama know about that? Are your teleprompters in sync with his?

Oregon wine my friend, just sampling the local fare and finding it interesting!
