    « Rick Noriega Campaign Staffer's Alter Ego | Main | Lon Burnam to Brian Thompson: I've Got Your Back »

    Re: Noriega Staffer's Alter Ego

    Just to review, a guy claiming to be a blogger named Jay Coxlie called US Senator John Cornyn's office seeking the Senator's public schedule. Turns out it was Democratic senate candidate Rick Noriega's deputy campaign manager, Rick Cofer.

    Remember the spring of 2005, back when Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was untouched by a nasty dog fighting scandal? Back when he was just the target of a lawsuit from a woman who claims he infected her with a... virus?

    If you recall, the woman said she met Vick in a nightclub where he introduced himself as "Ron Mexico". I remember all the ESPN radio hosts ripping him to shreds for that one -- "Ron Mexico? What kind of fake name is that? Why not just call yourself Mike Canada?"

    Which brings me to the choice of "Jay Coxlie" as a fake name. Cox... lie??? Read that one out loud. Perhaps Ron Mexico would have been less suspicious...
