Socks in Washington...you're not gonna believe this shit

it seems internet sock trolling has become so popular that aids to politicians have actually taken to trolling blogs of their partisan opposite.

here is the story of an aid to charles bass, republican from NH, who broke campaign rules by using a government computer to pose as a supporter of his democrat opposition while always slipping in endorsements for his superior.

bass' office has admitted that this has been found to be true (like they had a choice, given that the i.p. could be clearly traced directly to the house of representatives...and that the culprit will be disciplined.

here is one of the blogs which was socked

complete with the latest blog entry which describes what happened,

and here is the site which broke the story:

on that note, whob dances with joy at the thought of getting paid for doing what he loves most.

As of March 20, or June first I thought this was now illegal under and possibly a felony if used in the wrong way under the new law MCLS 750.540 going along with House Bill No.s 5043 and 5044.
