The WBAL-TV 11 News I-Team has uncovered new information surrounding the mysterious Web user known as MD4Bush.
In private e-mail exchanges, MD4Bush coaxed Joe Steffen, a former aide to Gov. Bob Ehrlich, into discussing rumors about Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley's personal life on the conservative Web site, FreeRepublic.com.
The 11 News I-Team has uncovered e-mail addresses used to register the MD4Bush account on the Free Republic Web site. The 11 News I-Team does not know who opened the MD4Bush account.
According to a source familiar with the MD4Bush postings, the e-mail address used in October 2004 to open the MD4Bush account is: ryanrock2004@yahoo.com.
Sources said that e-mail address was later changed to rodoherty@mddems.org, then changed for a third time to brianwaverly@yahoo.com. That third e-mail address remains as the address registered on the Free Republic account, which remains open.
Free Republic Web founder Jim Robinson refused to publicly disclose the electronic trail of MD4Bush; however, he authorized a statement weeks ago, as follows:
"Free Republic has evidence that an mddems.org e-mail address is associated with the MD4Bush account. This is not just coincidence," Free Republic spokeswoman Kristinn Taylor said.
According to Free Republic, anyone who has the password to the MD4Bush account could change the e-mail registration address at any time. It is not known how many people may have had access to that password.
MD4Bush used e-mails to coax former gubernatorial aide Joe Steffen into discussing rumors on a conservative Web site about the personal life of Baltimore's mayor. The e-mail address information obtained does not shed light on the actual users of the MD4Bush account, nor does it reveal whether someone attached the Ryan O'Doherty e-mail address to the account without his knowledge.

How about when Republican controlled committees are apparently not interested in exposing Democrat corruption? Nothing has me more irritated right now than the suppression of the report that was paid for with my federal tax dollars. It is an abominable disgrace:
"As things stand now, the expurgated (Independent Counsel David Barrett) report will appear and the public will be none the wiser as to how the IRS and Justice Department can be used to obstruct justice and harass private citizens."
Freep throat?

Would love to see someone like Drudge pick this post up about the Washington Post working with democratic operatives to bring down a sitting governor. Darn Rat!
So, break it!
I cannot understand your reluctance.
"I imagine it's going to come as quite a surprise to Kristinn that he's actually a woman."
Laz - Your wife Kristinn is apparently really a man!
Sheesh. :)
mark. And, true.
My, my, my...............
I'm leaving shortly to spend much of the day in Maryland, it shall be interesting to see what, if anything, the various local talk stations may be saying about this........as well as some of the locals themselves. Not that long ago it came up in a wateringhole I know - and I wasn't the one that brought it up :)
BUMP
The last email used: brianwaverly@yahoo.com is throwing me off....Ryan doherty actually lives either next to or just inside the Waverly section of Baltimore. Without the letter 'B' the email could easily be read as rian waverly...I don't know...perhaps I'm over examining this.
FWIW, a Brian Birgen, Waverly, Iowa professor, once served on presidential candidate Dean's Advisory Committee on Education.
A very important ping to #70!! Thanks.
Well, at least he's the 'wife'.
I sure woulda hated the reverse. =:^o
