“Ellie Light” story turns a little bit freaky and a whole lot deaky

Actually, I take it back. It’s a whole lot freaky, too. The nutshell version: The Cleveland Plain-Dealer spoke to “Ellie Light” on the phone this morning and got her to admit — in a “husky voice” — that her name’s really Barbara Brooks, she’s a nurse, and that she wrote the letters on her own initiative.

Later today, another woman — not husky-voiced — called the Plain-Dealer and said that she’s Barbara Brooks and that it’s actually her husband, a Kossack named Winston Steward, who’s responsible for the Ellie letters and has now taken to posing as her because he’s afraid the “right-wing crazies” will get him. (Question: If you think you’re in danger, why would you expose your wife to that danger by posing as her?)

this appears to be some sort of kooky nutroots freelance operation gone wrong and not an Axelrodian master plan

I don't think we know this yet until we learn more about Winston Steward.

Does he have any connection to OFA, ACORN, SEIU, the TIDES foundation, or any other of the myriad of far left wacko organizations tied to Obama?

he’s afraid (of) the “right-wing crazies”

What is more crazy then posing as a fake person, writing dozens of letter's to papers all over the country under a fake name and then blaming it on your wife?

With a name like Winston Steward, this has to be the Liberal writing the letters.

I think his wife may want to check the house for frilly clothes and diapers too.

“Winston Steward, who’s responsible for the Ellie letters and has now taken to posing as her because he’s afraid the “right-wing crazies” will get him.”
