In recent weeks, Light has published virtually identical “Letters to the Editor” in support of President Barack Obama in more than a dozen newspapers.Every letter claimed a different residence for Light that happened to be in the newspaper’s circulation area.
“It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything,” said a letter from alleged Philadelphian Ellie Light, that was published in the Jan. 19 edition of The Philadelphia Daily News.
A letter from Light in the Jan. 20 edition of the San Francisco Examiner concluded with an identical sentence, but with an address for Light all the way across the country in Daly City, California.
Noticeably silent on this: Nancy Pelosi, who, last summer, repeatedly attacked health care reform protesters as “tea baggers” who were “astroturfing” the debate, rather than a real grass-roots movement. I’d like to know her opinion on pretending to be someone just to send the same Op-Ed to dozens of local papers, although seeing as they’re all friendsy with The Great Onetm, I reckon she won’t care.
