Now, did MD4Bush simply out Steffan, or is MD4Bush actually provide Steffan with the negative info. What exactly was MD4Bush's role?

That would make this Jim Smith 59 or 60 at the time of the email, if the 1945 refers to a birth year as so often happens.

Anyone know BC Exec Jim Smiths' age?

Does anyone have a picture of the perp before he is indicted ?

Alright, I am going to go out on a limb here and maybe get flamed. Or perhaps I don't know all the details of the story.

Rumours exist about O'malley having affairs. These rumours were either created by GOP operatives or already sort of existed.

The democrats are worried that these rumours will turn into a real story.

The GOP, naturally, wants these rumours to become a story.

A lying scumbag registers at FR, befriends in some manner Steffan, and gets Steffan to admit in various ways that in fact the GOP is well aware of these rumours and in fact is trying to get the rumour out in order to damage O'Malley.

The lying SOB takes the proof to the news in order to pre-empt the story from rumours about O'Malley into GOP operatives peddling smears about O'Malley.

If that narrative is basically correct, then besides using poor means to an end (although stuff that is really not that immoral by political operative standards) then essentially MD4Bush did a good job, and Steffan got caught with his pants down providing info to someone he shouldn't have trusted.

I really don't know what the big deal is. It sounds like MD4Bush pulled off a real coup. I have a feeling that if a FReeper did a similar thing over at DU that a sizeable number of FReepers would be applauding him.

Here's another article.

Does anyone know how long O'Doherty has been a "former" State Democratic Party official? It would be interesting to find out why this is the case.

	I will e-mail the story to you as soon as it hits. Read it carefully and then call in and raise hell. Don't call in until after the story is published...
	And like the good sheeple that they are, they'll do just what they're told! Leftists follow orders well (because they like dictators); Republicans just ignore orders (because they dismiss dictators); Conservatives fight back when ordered (because they despise dictators).

You'd think a varmint operative trolling various internet sites would have the brains to have a different screen name or three.

MD4Bush Ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off the list.

Indictments forthcoming, I sincerely hope.
